...the same is true for his entire family. Junior, Eric, Javanka, even Tiffany and Barron are potentially at risk, and likely will be all their lives, or at least until 45 himself has passed on.

Remember, when the USS Vincennes mistakenly shot down the Iranian passenger plane back in 1987, the captain’s wife and children were targeted in a car bombing that, fortunately, failed.

This morning, I saw a couple blips of Vladamir Putin saying, Trump was mislead by our intelligence agencies. I know there is no way in hell he would have made a move like that, without being advised by Putin first. I imagine Putin himself directed this, but why? Just a distraction, doubtful. Also Bolton's hard on for Iran, lines up quite nicely with all of this as well.

He likely egged him on telling him, he'll be a hero for taking Qasom out. I'm sure Trump thinks it will help his re election, it won't. Especially if Americans lose their lives. It's terrifying, my son leaves in two weeks for Qatar, his best friend is being sent to Kuwait. As I watch these guys playing their video games, I am beyond terrified for the futures.

sometimes,.too. We killed 200 to 300 Russian mercenaries in Syria, within minutes. It's one of the reasons Putin ordered Trump to order our troops out of Syria, but the initial killing of hundreds of Russians Putin did not order or approve.

Suliemani convinced Putin to use the Russian military in Syria to save Assad. I don't think this killing was on Putin's directions.

It's a good general rule to follow, though. The Pelosi rule. [Nearly] every road with Trump leads to Putin.

Then I will repeatedly scream 'WOOOO HOOOOO' at the top of my freaking lungs for a couple more minutes.

And that goes for his grifting family as well. I always wondered why terrorists didn't go after the people who were directly responsible for assassinations and dropping bombs on their people. I think it would change things if they did. If politicians paid with their lives for their aggressive actions in other nations, I imagine things might be a bit different.

They should know that our government doesn't give a damn if we have civilian casualties. It only gives them more reason to beat the war drum and keep the carnage going. Only when they are personally at risk will they take these decisions more seriously.

To assassinate a high level foreign government official breaks an unofficial "gentleman's" agreement to not kill the foreign country's leaders.

He broke it the "agreement" and now they'll be after him.

Anyone at his properties are at a greater risk from attacks now , which Iran is smart enough to understand that'll hurt him badly, and also digging up and exposing him in many ways by leaking damming information against him and others will also hurt him , and what he fears the most. He just made his properties very dangerous places to be at. He also put his family at much greater risk, and made them a target for the rest of their lives. I think putin is behind this now , and using trump to increase his profits from oil prices skyrocketing, and for a distraction. People will be really pissed as gasoline prices jump up now from this. trump will be running from many really really bad guys he's screwed over forever.
