Jan 2020

In it, Rump was asked specifically about what he thought about Soleimani. Rump knew zero about him, asked for some hints. The interviewer said he heads the Quds forces. Rump said 'It's terrible how the Kurds are treated', and the guy corrects him and says 'The Iranian Quds forces.' Then Rump doesn't answer the question about Soleimani, just repeats 'oh, I thought you said the Kurds'. So he made sure to not admit he knew zero about Soleimani, but also made sure he didn't show he learned anything about Soleimani. Who happened to be a very bad Iranian guy that also was one of the most effective opponents of ISIL and Al Qaeda.

We see how 'terrible' he feels about how the Kurds are treated. He pulled our troops away from the areas they were in, to let them get slaughtered. He pulled our troops out because he is 'sick of endless wars in the middle east'. One of his flunkies just suggested that the Kurds will be on our side in a fight with Iran, to boot -- the Kurds Rump just got done abandoning to slaughter.

He's sick of endless wars in the middle east, so he destabilized Iraq and threatens war with Iran.

He's the embodiement of pee pee the frog fans' 'feels good' mantra. What makes you believe he ever bothered to learn anything about Soleimani after he became Prez, since he made sure to learn nothing when he was asking for our votes? He does everything because it feels good for him to do it, and what feels good to him is destroying things, attacking, killing, breaking down, punishing, unleashing his 'powerful' wrath. Working, learning, knowing anything doesn't feel good to him, so he doesn't bother doing those things.

A stopped clock with 2 broken off hands is right zero times a day. Rump's mind is like a cuckoo clock in hell.

The way it was carried out was both, reckless and irresponsible. dewsgirl Jan 2020 #1
