    Oh dear, iran not happy.... america adding more fuel to the fire.. in the region & with russia

    Iran's most powerful military commander, General Qasem Soleimani, has been killed by a US air strike in Iraq.

    The 62-year-old spearheaded Iranian military operations in the Middle East as head of Iran's elite Quds Force.

    He was killed at Baghdad airport, along with other Iran-backed militia figures, early on Friday in a strike ordered by US President Donald Trump.

    Soleimani's killing marks a major escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran.

    Trump's a fucking dick, for a Nation that celebrates breaking free in imperialist invaders each year they're doing a fuck of a good job at being even worse imperialist warmongers and invaders of other countries to try and steal their natural resources. The rest of the world really needs to get together and sanction the twats, enough is enough

    I don't. Think the impeachment hardly bothers him - there's no way it's going to happen and it might actually be giving him a net gain in popularity.

    That's a very peculiar choice of words given the context!

    But yes, I think he'll win... bigly.
