snip of article:

Meanwhile a Russian state television reporter, Stanislav Khamdokhov of RIA Novost, described the assassination as “a terrorist act” by the American government and RIA Novosti columnist Irina Alksnis argued that “Americans are steadily losing political positions in the Middle East. Russia, Turkey and Iran are stepping on their heels. Washington simply does not have the strength to challenge Moscow in Syria or Tehran in Iraq.”



That comment is very interesting isn't it??? This is Putin's wish to make us weaker and it's happening.

snip of article:

By contrast, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that Soleimani was “responsible for the death of American citizens and many other innocent people. He was planning more such attacks. President Trump deserves all the credit for acting swiftly, forcefully and decisively.” He concluded that “Israel stands with the United States in its just struggle for peace, security and self-defense.”

Bebe another terrorist in a suit.

1. So Putin ordered the attack

then announced on state tv that it made the US weaker.

2. He's playing it both ways.

Telling Trump what he wants done, then allowing State Media to make Trump and crew look like idiots. This ought to be obvious to all in Congress, I think it certainly is with the Democrats. Republicans are so compromised and culpable that they can't figure how to protect US interests without destroying Trump and the cover he gives them.

This should start a new impeachment investigation in the House. Everything Trump is doing is benefiting Russian interests in the ME. Why?
