This is false. Here is the tweet;So what’s next? Does anybody know?
Trump threatens destruction of 52 cultural sites. A war crime by definition. To what end? Anybody know?
He did not say he was targeting 52 cultural sites. His tweet doesn’t come close to that.…targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!
Goodness. Here’s the quote again:" very high level and important to Iranian culture."
And it is your opinion that doesn’t mean " cultural cites." Glad all of those facts cleared it up. Cites of importantance to Iranian culture is not Iranian cultural cites? Why? Because we want to imagine to save Trump?
He did not say “ destruction of 52 cultural sites”. That is a false statement.some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself,
I think the issues is that Trump said 52 sites of which some will be very important to Iranian culture.And it is your opinion that doesn’t mean " cultural cites."
The idea of attacking “cultural sites”, in particular as retribution, is very much a war crime.“They’re allowed to kill our people. They’re allowed to torture and maim our people. They’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people. And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural sites? It doesn’t work that way,” Trump said.
I don’t really see how it advances anything anyhow. It’s not like bombing say, Persepolis will be beneficial in any war effort. Rather, it might have the effect of reconciling Iranians with the government they abhor as they watch their culture come under attack from the one government they hate more than theirs.So maybe only s few culturally important sites, not necessarily 52. Only a few war crimes, not 52.
Who benefits? That is the interesting question.I don’t really see how it advances anything anyhow. It’s not like bombing say, Persepolis will be beneficial in any war effort. Rather, it might have the effect of reconciling Iranians with the government they abhor as they watch their culture come under attack from the one government they hate more than theirs.
The dead Iranian is a cultural site now?The dead Iranian? Zero!
In retribution?
I guess that can be an answering Trump’s intent was a retribution threat. Do you think Trump was looking to escalate into war?
They don’t care to understand Trump. They’re willing to take the side of a terrorist like Soleimani and a terrorist state like Iran. Had Obama done this, he would have been a hero.The dead Iranian is a cultural site now?
Retribution or not.
If one really cared to understand President Trump, they’d know he’s the last person to want more war in the Mideast.
Actions can’t be incoherent. Listen to Trump, it’s what he says not what people think.Trump’s actions have been incoherent. I appreciate those who say," hey I know his mind,"
“He didn’t say he’d club ALL the baby seals! Just a few. There’s a BIG difference!”He did not say he was targeting 52 cultural sites. His tweet doesn’t come close to that.
Soleimani probably was able to finance much of his terror using the billions of dollars Obama sent there. Obama is not irrelevant.Obama is irrelevant! Nothing furthur required about Obama.
No, the other poster said that. I said they do care to understand him.You say," they don’t understand Trump."
He isn’t obligated to provide evidence to you or the media.The Administration provided no evidence. There is nothing to understand on THIS SUBJECT.
Actua, the left has taken his fide, not so much be they like him, but because they despise Trump.Nobody has taken the dead guys side in America. That was the misleading argument when there were no WMDs.
It is so funny you want to immunize Obama who basically financed this guy, but want to bring up Saddam.“But don’t you agree Sadamm is a bad guy?” Was never the point after over a decade of war and casualties and over a trillion spent.
