'Almost all of the staff of the US embassy has left. Almost all the staff of the embassy of the UK has left. Almost all of the international NGOs & UN personnel in Baghdad are on their way to leaving. How has that made anyone more safe?' - Trita Parsi

It is usually so peaceful 😉

You people are Parasites I really can't believe how stupidity regins supreme at msnbc story telling at it's worst...haha ratings tell the story I am only 1 of millions who detest the media

Yes they're all leaving so Iran & Russia can have the influence they desire so desperately. Poor Kurds are gonna get it from both ends. nytimes CNN LindseyGrahamSC

CalamityApprentice

Stupid how safe was it when un designates soleimani as a terrorist and traveling thru the country with other designated terrorist.

Middle East liberal expert.

Our embassy was being attacked, that's why we evacuated most of the staff...that's made our embassy staff more safe for sure.

If you think they were safe before this general was killed, u are only fooling yourself. This general and his men were probably behind last week’s violent attack on the US embassy. If you think that that was nothing, u need to rethink how worse their next attack could have been.

Whose surprised? Think his upcoming impeachment has anything to do with it

Well done Taylor. There has to be some respectable American's. Pity the American's just love wars, why I don't know as they never finish them. The only decent result was the American civil war. Make peace before you lose this one as well

Donald has managed to do what other US Presidents could or would not. He's managed to get America out of the middle East, an outcome desired by the Muslim extremists in the region. A goal desired by Soleimani himself. So, even in death Soleimani wins.

But we aren’t talking about Impeachment. See how well Donnie’s Deflection and Distraction show works. Did you notice how Kim Jung Un’s knees buckled when he was in the presence of the “Chosen One”? and how he de-Nuked? Me neither.

Msnbc go to Iran do the people of Iran the same disservice as your doing in USA they will show you what treasonous fraudsters get go on

StevePPhill Never make the mistake of believing a word he or his lackeys say.

Don't worry, we still have tRump and his angry mob behind him, they will surely defend US.

With this new veiled threat he committed oil prices went up, that means more money for Saudis, stocks went down, except those stocks for billion dollar companies that make products for use in war, & he got rid of u.s. embassies in Europe...

Trump is not Americans commander in chief

When the embassies are taken over by Iranians and they post photos online like when Trump violated the Kurds and left the US base to be taken over, how will that photo op play out to ISIS, Taliban, Hamas, etc etc?

Where does is rating of a Middle East expert come from. What has he ever predicted concerning the Middle East that came to fruition?

And good riddance. Iraqis do not want, and NEVER wanted the anglo empire on their land.

Because if they are there they can be killed. These so called analysts are not very analytical.

The beast has tasted blood. There will be no stopping his thirst for it again. Trump is a megalomaniac. Trump is also a narcissist. Instead of feeling the weight of command all other Presidents have felt putting our young men & women in harms way, the beast revels in the power.

Follow me all

Pentagon wouldn't have gone ahead with attack if it wasnt the right thing to do

So just let Iran get away with whatever it wants starting proxy wars in Syria & Iraq purposely destabilizing the region & reward them with payoffs on American taxpayer money is the answer. Sounds smart

Time to throw both Trump and Pence out of office and let Nancy straighten out this mess!

Qassam Soleimani was plotting a very major attack against US interests when he was killed. Democrats slammed the president for taking out the world’s number one terrorist. Anti American Democrats Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib attacked President Trump for his decision to drone bomb

So is this guy saying that he supports the killings that this General had planned and directed? You can't have it both ways Dem, biased MSNBC!

well hopefully they left to somewhere safer. like going to st. louis would be pointless

You people that love Iran can go anytime I hear they love and respect their women and the men are all wealthy..

We whacked out the '2nd most powerful man' in Iran with a remote control plane. Settle down. Iran ain't doing shit!

25thAmendment IMPOTUS StraightJacketNow

Quite the opposite

...not the Marines though 😉

very big discount💙✅♦✅ vne

Trump would empty out as many US Embassies as he could. His treatment of Marie Yovanavich showed us that

And all the US troops should have left long time ago. It is inhumane of them to sit around the corner out of nothing but oil. It's high time they gotta leave that region alone

'Expert' LOLOLOLOL

He is lobbying for Mullah’s Regime in Iran. He has, like terrorist regime in Iran, blood of Iranians on his hand. He is not legitimate to talk about Iran’s political situation 👎👎

Hasn't helped Trump with his impeachment either.

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

Established Iranian shill =/= “Middle East Expert” And you lot wonder why know one trusts the media And you lot wonder why Trump won in 2016 and will win again in 2020

clvergrl74 Everything trump touches dies... our country is probably the last thing he'll destroy.

realDonaldTrump couldn't fire an employee face to face, when you give a coward the biggest gun he becomes the most dangerous person on the block. FoxNews CNN

Hasn't made anyone less safe.

Soliemani was a ruthless killer. The world IS safer without him. The left should be praising his death, but instead, you'd rather make it political and turn it against President Trump. Had Obama killed him, you would be bowing to Obama, kissing his feet. You people are pathetic.

Good we shouldn’t need a embassy in that hell hole. Guess y’all don’t remember the 1979 Iranian hostage ordeal where our people were held for 444 days.

Well, yes.

This is what all the bull about a deep state govt and the bad mouthing of intelligence officials has gotten us and its infuriating.

The last number of president have allowed Iran to grow into the problem that they are today. This leaves Trump the responsibility to confront them.

How in the world does a president make a good decision in a crisis when most of the people who've studied the area, its people and culture have been run off (not that they would listen to them)?

Lol the dems are so pathetic and sad .

Canadian troops that had been providing training are also pulling out. 🇨🇦

They are warned to get out of the Country....then they will be safe

How non-strike would have made anyone safe?

America doesn’t need embassies in every country. There are phones, Skype, and teleconferencing options now. Communication is an every day occurrence. Get the staffs out of all non essential countries and reduce the footprint of the American govt. realDonaldTrump

How did this make anyone less safe?

So an embassy building that cost $750 million and one time housed over 15,000 employees and contractors now sits empty. But we're saving tax dollars by cutting food stamps for thousands of low income people. Please explain.

FU

And all because (A) He wants to take attention away from his impeachment and upcoming trial. And ( B) He thinks it’s will help hi re-election. He is a traitor of the lowest order.

*Iran's aggressive behavior, killing an American and attacking the American embassy, has taken us to the precipice of war.

It's really quite simple. There is nothing tp be gained by 'friendly' relations with terrorists, mass murderers, thieves and liars. Wall them off from civilization and let them destroy themselves.

You could go there and make us feel safe 🤡

You don't feel safe at home? I mean, Iran has attacked our embassy. Would you like them all to stay there so you feel safe? So you can have your repeat Benghazi? You are sick brother.

All roads lead to Moscow. Putin wins with every move.

62,000 US troops are in danger plus other troops being deployed because Trump picked the most extreme option presented, stunning Pentagon officials who carried out the order.

Well, they moved. They are more safe.

I am very sad... My country seems to be the catalyst for all this unrest. Enshala, sorry for the spelling. God willing. Goodnight friends.

Payback alone was well worth it.

Misinformation, Iran did that by attacking American Embassy in the first place. It is just an escalating conflict of one upmanship in sabre rattling now. FakeLiberals crying hoax for the wrong side, AGAIN !!

Well because they left, Mr. Middle East expert.

Maybe Iran shouldnt threaten to kidnap them?

Just reminding everyone England and America destroyed Iranian democracy in the 50's with a peacetime coup. Google Operation Ajax.

Makes Russia safer.

Well the NGO’s and U.N. Personnel would never be targeted by the lunatics in Iran, right? After all, the dems say Iran is just misunderstood, that soleimani was a dapper gentleman? Are you saying Iran would attack U.N. Personnel? Why, that would make them.. terrorists? Shocking!

Total mix-up of 2 type of risks It is risk of war that is forcing people to make timely exit from potential conflict zone Elimination of alleged terror mastermind cuts potential risks that extended as far as Delhi, if we go by US intelligence inputs supplied to realDonaldTrump

Trump is solely responsible for his actions and if the piece of shit tries to blame anyone else he can’t

mloughlin Every friend of Israel has learnt the art of polarizing elections, Trump is just another one, Boris Johnson .... And we have a long list

By not being where terrorist nutjobs are - duh

All General Soleimani had to do was announce an investigation into the Bidens and he’d still be alive.

They are more safe because they left Baghdad. Staying put leaves them at risk. Do you not understand that?

Carter anyone Carter..........lol no we have balls TRUMP

TrumpRussia wants us out

This so called NAZI EXPERT knows nothing but LOYALTY to the BLACK FUHRER IDOL OBAMA.

He is part of the hate America club along with

MSNBC would rather have all the staff stay, attacked and murdered by Iran.

This is the result after 17 years of war, millions of Iraqi's killed, cities destroyed, trillions spent, US soldiers killed, and now a useless $750 million embassy.

. To all our Iranian-American Brothers & Sisters... We are All Americans, Vote your conscience! Register To Vote! We stand in solidarity with You all and our Jewish brethren as well. UNITED WE STAND! AnotherCrackInTheWALL!

Delavegalaw The point is that it works for Russia.

Russia Iran mean for helping Trump to win. US voters would see Trump as a cowboy. Russia will deepen claws on Middle East&Mediterranean region expanding to Africa after sharing intel. And Islamic extremists will be left to rule Iran and continue scaring its rivals even more.

Sounds like it's making Americans a lot safer

When are they coming back?

Once you accept the fact that Trump is a Russian agent acting on behalf of Putin, virtually everything he does on the international level makes perfect sense

If I were staying at a Trump property I think I would leave. What perfect targets to get to the heart of things.

Thinking of the Iraqi people

Isn't killing another countries head of military already an act of war?

She told us so!

sausalitohippie The walls are closing in?

Trump did not take this action to make anyone except him safe. This is a diversion from impeachment and he is banking that a nice little war will help him be re-elected

Well the ones that left are more safe, right?🤔

Why? Pompeo said they are safe?

It make our personnel safe which I’m sure upsets you comrade.

It made Trump safe from being removed from office for now! His supporters are ecstatic and the Republican party will argue a wartime president can't be removed!

KAG2020

Americans are safer.

What American journalists are still there? Please stay safe.

I'm a expert on the U.S. and we don't like the threat of the day to day threat of rockets and terrorist attacks.

Didn't Donald speak with Putin for hours and hours a week or so ago?

It's not about making anyone safe, it's about allowing Putin free reign to begin acquiring new territory and becoming a global superpower again, as per their agreement in that private conversation with no notes a few years ago. Trump is one bad hombre, and the dementia won't help

Wow I'm glad they left. Iraq told their people to get to Hell away from American bases. All US and UK training of Iraqi soldiers have been canceled. Hezbollah is tweeting pictures of bombs they've constructed since 2003.

We are in trouble! 😳

Maybe Trump should go there to prove how safe it is?

Where have I seen this before ....

Where do you find these idiots?

Love how NBC likes to give platforms to islamic regime mouthpieces. Really, the unregistered FARA twit Trita. Paid and owned by the islamic regime. Shame on you NBCNews Iran RegimeChange

. . .because after all U.S. and allies have left. . .we can mother bomb it to hell.

Easy, for all the bombing,all the killing,all the human rights abuse theres someone who will fight back ! Terrorists have wiped their feet on the free world long enough & gotten away with it. Theres a new BOSS in town who will not put up with kills/attacks etc anymore...

Now they will not be in harms way....moron.

Trump making decisions and discussing it with everyone except for Congress is egregious. Trump is clearly a threat to this country’s national security. People need to wake up before we get into another war!

The world is on autopilot 😞

Since Nov 1979, no American has been safe because Iranians have waged war on the US and our alliances with impunity, for the fear to some “offend” Muslim terrorist. Time to go after the leadership instead of small terrorist cells.

Dude, the US stood by Iraq for 20 years to help them be their own people, NOT slaves to Iran! But here you are, a puppet of Iran preaching some BS! Shame on you. Iraqi people, like the many friends 8 have are against Iran and the shiaat rule, you know that, but you’re a hypocrite

Unstable man in WH

Delavegalaw We agree

Pp got to leave quick or be wipe out

How it going in Iraq Donald ? Oh forget it!

Yes, the world is so much safer in the world with shit head in charge!!

And they will never return?

Typical trump communiqué - you are safer now everyone evacuate.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Could this be benefiting Putin? They did speak on ph recently.

Well, those embassy staffers won't be blown up with the next Iranian rocket coming in the window.

When the devil orchestrated its drama in heaven,many did not know that the next stop of the devil would be Earth...... ....and all devilish drama ever,has been done by humans.

Pentagon to deploy roughly 3,500 more troops to Middle East amid tensions with IranNEW: Acting DHS Sec. Chad Wolf: 'There are currently no specific, credible threats against our homeland' following U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian commander. 'The entire Department remains vigilant and stands ready, as always, to defend the Homeland.” Trump does the opposite of everything he says. Trump calls others exactly what he is. That's it, he's a backwards jackass The DHS IS the terrorist threat! Which part of Trump's promise to stop America being involved in overseas wars and bringing the troops home does this meet? It's a good job that he never suggested that a President would attack Iran to show his strength and to help with his re-election... that'd be embarrassing!
