There is so much happening in the background the public can’t see what’s going on. Like a plan or something

Yes. I'm starting to think Iran wanted (and possibly signaled) the US to take out Soleimani.

I think you overestimate them. They're just scared shitless.

This is a normal power Consolidation which occurs in such instances.

Doubtful... the new guy might just be cleaning his house of loyalists to the previous guy or maybe they think they have a traitor in the group.

Naw - more likely they think they have a spy in their midst who informed the US of Soleimani's movements. That or the new guy is bringing in his own loyalists and there is no room for the old guys.

Plausible, I'd like to see verification though. If it leads to getting our troops out of that collective shithole, good?

You really think anyone wants that job? I can see the help wanted ad: Position open, comes complete with a big red bullseye for your back

True, but I think what basically happens is however bad/dangerous it is to be a dictator in these places it's better than being anybody else, so they go for it.

You mean like a deep state? Now that's just conspiracy talk.

Iran wants to deal. Trump is rubbing his hands about now.

The art of the negotiation.

Scott Adams nailed it!

The Ayatolla had Solemani whacked by us.

The Ayatollah and Islamic theocracy are the problem.

Won't it be beautiful if the Iranian people can claim freedom as a result of all of this? Maybe even become PERSIA again? (Make Iran Persia Again)

And still, the dems will denounce President Trump!

I dream of the day when I can safely visit Iran and see their beautiful culture and historical sites.

I hope we don’t have to blow them to smithereens. Fingers crossed!

Iran confirms democratic revolution, agrees to all demands by US, immediately opens for trade/tourism

"Big Changes In Iran, But A Cautious People Still Toil Under Trump's Shadow!"

And the article will just be about anyone in Iran whose life isn't perfect.

Isn’t it possible they’re cleaning house because they believe one of them leaked his position?

Is this more 4D chess?

Salami was the actual leader of Iran, a terrorist, preventing Iran from making peace/ deal with the rest of the world.

Iran and Trump execute a plan to remove Salami

Iran cleans house and begins negotiations with the rest of the world.

Win win.

I hope righteousness can take back their country. Current rule of law is ugly and barbaric.

Perhaps the only certain thing is that whatever you hear the US news media opining or predicting should be ignored.

Might be a LARP but even if so, the Enemy sees this and doesn't know what to think of it. Look at all the low level militia leader guys and street fighters/rentamobs, they see this stuff and must wonder if they should go hang out with the goats, get off the streets.

So, wotcha gonna do if you're a terrorist just trynna do your terrorist job, but it looks like iran is offing your leaders.

This kind of behavior always amuses me: did salami have secret Xman powers? Did his minions expect him to show up with goggles and a shit-stained Cape if they got arrested? What was so special about him?

Surely, if another faction had moved against the salami-ites while he was alive, he would have called them on the phone and told them to protect each other.

Now that salami is an ex-muslim, you'd think the gang could still do that.

Maybe his super power was to corral weak pussies...

Oooh, an insider? Or just controlling who his replacement will be? Or maybe just simple security theater?

I could see Iran knowing US intel doesn't need insiders to monitor their personnel, but by doing this you make it seem like the means by which America struck are somehow within their grasp to change: ie "There's a spy, we're gonna get him! Satellite imaging and drones are bullshit, don't worry about them!

Interesting either way.
