Donald Trump has said the US airstrike that killed a top Iranian general was designed to prevent a war with Iran - not start one.

The US president claimed Major General Qassem Soleimani had been planning"imminent and sinister attacks on US diplomats and military personnel" before he died in Friday morning's drone strike in Iraq.

In an address from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Mr Trump said:"What the US did yesterday should have been done long ago - a lot of lives would have been saved.He stated that he was not seeking regime change in Iran.Instead he said the aim had been to eliminate"the number one terrorist anywhere in the world".

Bunch of overpaid gobshites They make the Catholic Church look respectable, in comparison

Anyone else find this sickening?

Hang on, is this the bunch of religious nutters, or is that the Iranians ? I can't keep up.

Trump looks as if he's ready to burst out laughing at these nut jobs.

😮😮

The phones are crazy alone.

I once heard a team mate tell a referee he punched the opposition as he though he was going to be punched, so punched him back first in self defence Yip, that's the level of stupidity we've dropped to

You mean USA doesn't want to start a war, they just want to start preemptive war. Enjoy their terminology.

Bomb them first so they can’t bomb you first.They can then only bomb you second realDonaldTrump

Example : Somebody constantly winds you up on a daily basis for a long time. You don't want to make a scene because everybody will make you out to be the aggressor. They push it to far one day. So they get 'Knocked the fuck out' Simple. Trump Soleimani WWIII

This guy is the Antichrist

He would say that, wouldn't he? mrda

Of course it was!

Good luck with that line when innocent citizens are targeted in the straight of Hormuz

A decision Trump seemingly in isolation from senior Members if the US govt. Trump works only for himself.

wouldn`t pick trump for my footy team.he`d score own goal to help us win.dumbo trump

Ok then.

You might have thought about that before now

Why did you kill him if you don't want to war the war has begun

Peidou...

Yeah, you do!

Believe the opposite of anything Donald Trump says.

TRUMP WINS IN THE END TRUMP 2Q2Q

Ehhhh.....

Yeah .. Sticking your hand in a fire is certainly the best way of not getting your finger's burnt 🙄

Killing for peace. The Americans are so good at foreign interventions, like everyone of them since Vietnam has been a raging success. Remember those old but creative ones, WMDs in Iraq or the bombing of Serbia, now the Afghan papers and then there was Killing Gaddafi brilliant...

Well no war - so he is right. Iran going to UN to make assassination complaint. They know Trump has doubled down and won’t take their shit. No war

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Could someone tell this dope - this is the real world, not some BS TV show,

Well a little too late for that shit

Yes, we know

Sure. Because ‘ole bone spurs is well known for strategic decisions, truthful responses and..oh, wait. Uh oh.

thomaspower What does he smoke

Really?!!!!

Wait and see 🙏

If you want a war with Iran Donald, you go and fight yourself along with the war mongers who want want it.

🤔 ... funny way of showing it! Hey, 🤷, just saying.

Have to say arguments on both sides not a supporter of unadulterated military strikes however would appear this target has been planned . Bigger worth is the consequence with so many embassy staff etc in the region presuming thus considered before execution

Don’t want to start one, but we’ll sure end it! MAGA!

This is just like Brexit! With death and war thrown in! Totally incapable of dealing in trade and peace talks, call anyone seeking harmony a ‘traitor’, blow everything up dammed the consequences, then blame the other side for being pissed at you for behaving like a toddler! 💪💪

What you trying to do Donald? Fulfil some bible prophesy and immanentize the Eschaton?

Bit late for that

Yes you want

Funny thing to proclaim having just assassinated one of their most influential figureheads.

🙄

Just do it Donald!!!

Going the right way about it then!

Well he’s picking a fight with a country with decent nuclear capabilities so it could be good TV this little scenario 🤔

Then you should have kept your soldiers at home on new year's day realDonaldTrump 🤡

A war with Iran is the surest way for realDonaldTrump POTUS to get re-elated as president

Back pedalling fast !

He then continued with “But I just knocked off one of their leaders and I hugely hope there will be no reprisals as I haven’t the foggiest idea of what I’m doing.”

That's what Hitler would say after invading Poland

Another bad guy bites the dust.

🤥

There is always a tweet realDonaldTrump

He just wants to improve his image
