    A hero to his supporters and an enemy to the West, Iranian General Qasem Soleimani is the target of an American drone strike, ordered by US President Donald Trump. Seeking retaliation, the Iranian military launches ballistic missiles against a US military base in Iraq, and with tensions high, accidentally shoots down a civilian airliner over Tehran.

      Yes, let's waggle our tiny phalluses. But the Iranian response caused major casualties for 110 US military personnel and Trump folded his cards and declared victory nonetheless. It was a total loss that Trump pretended was a total victory. We should have sent 200 Tomahawks into Iran to take out military targets, missile launch facilities, naval harassment assets, and nuclear "research" facilities. Plus sink every motorboat Iran had in the Persian Gulf. We did absolute zilch. We did zero minus 1000 sacks of balls. So, so far less than zero. Weakness glorified. Nobody in their right mind wants full scale war with Iran. Nobody in their right mind believes that strategic strikes against Iran will lead to full scale war with Iran. Especially, immediately after Iran has bragged about launching dozens of missiles against US troops at a US base in US occupied Iraq, causing 110 US military personnel TBIs (casualties). Trump failed miserably. You can't brag about bagging Soleimani, and then ignore a massive Iranian missile strike against US soldiers, causing 110 casualties. It's total weakness / fear / loser / idiocy.

    I was in Iraq when this went down. I had only gotten there two weeks before the drone strike. Our intel knew he was coming into Iraq to help command attacks against US personal so we were quite happy to hear about his demise. I was at a different base north of Baghdad that was on the list to get hit but the rumor is that we were too close to civilian areas that they didn’t want to risk civilian deaths and piss off the the Iraqis. Although we got plenty of in direct attacks just two months later that did kill a couple of Americans a British soldier. We were told we were gonna have a easy, uneventful deployment, the unit we replaced had maybe one motor attack their entire 9 month deployment. Then we get there and within weeks shit went down hill, from all I mentioned and to include a high probability of a full on assault on our base by a local militia group supported by Iran that we had to somehow repel with a few gun trucks and a aviation unit. (Mechanics, pilots, and other unit personnel.) we were told to hold them off until the 82 unit that was on base got there(a 30 min wait). All the other nations that were there left just leaving the US and some Spain guys. Luckily from what I understand some politics changed in the Iraq government and the commander of that militia group ( who was also a commander somewhere in the Iraq military) was told not to attack us. We kept getting attacked with in-direct fire until the day we close the base up. To include the night before I left. Ended up only spending 7 months in Iraq with the rest of my deployment being in Kuwait, which ended up being extended by only a month due to the unit replacing us was delayed by the Covid. Oh yeah, during all of this Covid was happening. Not a easy, relaxing deployment as we were told. Really weird and cool to see something I was involved in get covered by this channel. Thanks for the video! It sometimes feels like this event and everything afterwards just got buried by the Covid news.

    I remember this incident or the misidentification of the plane as one of my friends older sisters friend and mother were on that plane when it was shot down. We had a picture of her on a desk by the library in remembrance. She was older then us by 3 years i believe since she was in Grade 12
