  1. As I claimed last night on the other article the dynamics have changed. Trump just drew a real line in the sand and he just told the rest of the world what to expect. For those too blind or unwilling to see, you are to blame for what comes next.

  2. Bravo to President Trump and his whole team. This shows the World that there is solidarity within the Administration contrary to what fake news claims.

    Will NATO comply with the USA request? Not going to happen imo, but a good dig. Good that Trump took no questions from the lame duck MSM afterwards! What would be the point?

    See what Gateway Pundits have to say:

    1. I tuned to Varney specifically to watch DJT handle the MFM. It was disappointing yet amusing to see him have his say, neatly turn his back and walk away. Heh.

  3. And here is the reaction from “Tokyo Rose” CNN in the States, and Blackie’s CBC in Canada. Trump is evil. Trump is a war monger. Trump insulted Obama. Trump is picking on peace loving Iran. WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!

        1. To show you what a horrible country the U.S. is, after the Second World War, Lord Haw Haw was executed by the British, but Tokyo Rose (the main one) only suffered a jail term.

    1. Well, Trump DID insult Obama and the Dims. The shot about Obama paying for the missiles Iran lobbed at Iraq was hilarious and true.

  4. Meanwhile Breitbart reports that America added over two hundred thousand jobs in December and private payrolls are going up. The Germany economy is tanking, and here in Canada Blackie has a new beard.

  5. What Trump said goes against the MSM narrative:
    – “Trump wants war”
    – “Trumps ego will force the US into war”

    This will rattle the progs. They need trump to invade, or look like doomsayers. Expect Pelosi to completely lose her mind, and start chanting “death to america” while waving the new Iranian flag.

    1. Yes they really need Trump to start a war. I think that is what John Kerry was doing in Iran except it backfired as everything they have tried does. Go for it Salami, Trump won’t retaliate, of course secretly hoping Trump would retaliate in a reckless way and actually start a war. I would think Iranians are re-evaluating advice from Lurch now.

  6. Trump trumps neo-cons and leftist warmongers again. Trump has used this incident as impetus for non-proliferation.
    One of these days, ignoramuses at CNN will try to understand Trump doctrine of projecting force without boots on the ground.
    Iran, in grievance against Americans, have fired on a third country, Iraq. Not very smart, but it was purely symbolic.
    Trump once again is approximately right while his haters and DeMarxist power lusters are once again precisely wrong.

    1. This set goes to Trump having WON every game. I expect he will win in straight sets … whilst sending the opponents scrambling from net to baseline … exhausted in their futility.

  7. Loved the fact Trump pointed out that the missiles that Iran used to attack the Americans on Iraq based bases were paid for by the money Obama sent over to the Mullahs, under the fake nuke deal.

    1. Ooooh that burns the “media party,” and “the hair sniffing VP groper” too.
      Matthews on MSLSD, couldn’t contain his spittle this morning after Trump was done speaking. He was so irate that Trump would expose obama once again.

      1. One minute of CBC was all I could take. Suhana Meharchand was half frowning half wincing and basically angry. She and peoplekind were *frowincing* like they were constipated!
        Ka! I mean Ha!

      1. Did you have to remind me. My stomach turns at the image of that vile old crone Hillary bragging about Ghaddafi, “We came , we saw, he died.” Why is this Image not shown by the MSM as a precursor to the Soleimani incident.

  8. Trump simply let the Iranians vent their spleen. It was strictly “watch and shoot if necessary” with any US response keyed to US casualties. But there were none.

    And Soleimani is still quite dead.* Chalk one up for The Donald.

    * Even dead the man remains toxic. Something like 50 Iranians were crushed to death at his funeral.

    1. What it revealed, was as predicted.

      The Iranians are Arab COWARDS. All bark, no bite. They know they would be obliterated in any escalation.

      Meanwhile, the press, the alphabets and the left prove once again, that they are just screaming meemees, with nothing to add but their own yellow journalism, no facts necessary. They would sooner live in their knees as slaves, so long as they still have their Facebook account.

      1. Would suggest the Iranians are not cowards in this case. As you say, they could not withstand nor prevent serious, perhaps critical destruction should the Americans want it and they know it.
        Trump again appears to be giving them another chance to clean up their act just as he always does. That will depend on how much their leadership believes that he’s prepared to continue to keep dishing it out. Even so, the economic sanction tourniquet has been tightened again.
        The use of the word yellow in describing MSM antics needs to increase exponentially.

  9. Did you know that (suddenly, according to the mass media) the Iranian Theocracy were going to totally SHUT DOWN the internet with the MOTHER of ALL cyberattacks!!!!?

    Nice to see Baghdad Bob got a 21st century high-tech makeover. Nice work, Drudge et.al. You’re all such fkcuing TRAITORS.

    OTOH … your average middle school hacker can easily take down the CA DMV website designed (twice) by multi-Billionaire leftist Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison

  10. Kenji, totally off topic but have you been reading what Stucky has been going through at The Burning Platform? I think you post there once in awhile as I do.

      1. If you are not a regular then you would not know, his wife passed, depression etc.

  11. It has often been remarked that nothing will unleash the economy of a country, or elevate its standard of living faster or more effectively, than losing a war with the United States.

    Germany and Japan are obvious examples.

    Could that be what the mullahs have in mind?

    1. BIG diff mr o’keefe.
      deutchland AND japan as we know mended their ways in 1945+ and immediately got on the road to democratic societies where its real REAL difficult to set up a dictatorship. and stayed there for 70+ years now.
      Marshall Plan etc.

      I suspect that WONT happen if iran runs into socio-economic political chaos following any sort of adventurism.
      I suspect Trump in his 2nd term will let them suffer and suffer and suffer and tighten the ginormous screws until the potentates get hung on meat hooks or whatever is in store.
      then and only then will the USA do something akin to Iraq or the Marshall Plan or whatever it takes to deal with the ME gordian knot.

      1. ISLAM Cannot and Will not co-exist in a Democratic Country…for Iran to have a Marshall plan that actually worked..? Islam would have to be BANNED. LIke thats gonna happen.

        Nuke em into oblivion…and if any survive that…??
        Nuke em again.

  12. In a nutshell. The Iranians were shown that this US government has the ability to cap anyone it wishes, no matter where they are. And, it will do so. If some other general happens to be somewhere he shouldn’t be (Soleimani in Baghdad was the equivalent of Goering in London, in 1943), he may get dusted. The mullahs chose to fire off a couple of their missiles in order to save face. The Iranians had been sending messages of war. Trump got around to sending one back. Now, the message from Tehran will change. For a while.

      1. HEAVEN FORBID. He dropped a few syllables in a couple of words but didn’t miss a beat. Wish he’d slow down on the cheeseburgers a tad. I want him fit for the next four.

    1. May have had something to do with reading from a teleprompter. I’ve never seen Trump use one before.

  13. CNN’s website cut out any mention about the Billions in Cash Obama gave them in the video.

  14. GOD BLESS whoever is responsible for the development of fracking and horizontal drilling. I think a lot of people don’t realize that Iran and the ME have lost their leverage over the USA. CANADA could be free too. Over to you NATO.

  15. I didn’t bother listening to the speech but from the clips I saw on the news he was reading something somebody else wrote and he’s a horrible speaker. Then there’s the problem of distinguishing between him saying things I’m supposed to take literally but not seriously and him saying things I’m supposed to take seriously but not literally and the idea that I shouldn’t listen to what he says but instead watch what he does. Given that he’s said a thousand times that he’s going to withdraw our troops from far-flung places we have no business being and yet has actually sent more over there, I’m thinking that the last bit is the best advice. Trump says a dozen crazy, stupid, illogical, contradictory, non sequitorious things every day – sometimes within the same sentence – and everybody puts their pants on their heads, sets them on fire and runs around squawking about whatever latest thing he said was. 24 hours later there’s another load of Twitter poop coming down the line everybody’s furiously scrambling to glean the corn kernels out of and everybody’s got a brand-new pair of pants. Feh. I’m tired of trying to find any meaning in anything Trump says, better just to ignore it because you’ll know just as much as if you did bother listening.

    1. “I’m tired of trying to find any meaning in anything Trump says, better just to ignore it because you’ll know just as much as if you did bother listening.”

      The failure may be yours and yours alone.
