40 thoughts on “How Soleimani’s Assassination Violates International Law and Puts Peace Further Out of Reach”
  1. I appreciate almost everything that woman said. I think she's correct and she speaks the truth. The problem i have in all this is that i feel we're being lead by religious fanatics. An intelligent society should never allow people who are easily manipulated by swindlers and charlatans to lead! Unfortunately, this is the case around the world so, i have little confidence in my fellow human beings doing the right thing.
    Iran and every other nation out there have a right to self defense, leave them alone already.

  2. I am thinking that the DS intelligence people lied to Trump, because the DS does not want peace in the region. Regardless, it is illegal and does not follow U.S. law. Trump should have handled it differently. Plot twist: Solemani is not dead, but is in the U.S. with his family. The assassination is a cover story. I never saw Solemani's dead body or death.

  3. And yet here we are no war with iran under trump . When will ppl learn that these elitist "professors" are just political ploys! 3/3/21

  4. You mean MBS and iran was in the process of signing a deal and the general was the man in the middle so you get rid of him to prevent that from happen to create war

  5. Phyllis Bennis says it's okay for American embassies to be attacked and ambassadors burned to death. Another anti-American socialist.

  6. This was a hog dipped in oil then set alight levels of madness, year's from now when we look back on this we still won't understand what he was thinking. 2 high ranking Military officials of TWO countries ….

  7. The Democrats know that their "bogus" impeachment of, Donald Trump, has failed, so the "Neoliberals" want to trap, Trump in Middle Eastern War$$$. The Americans that Soleimani was responsible for killing was ISIS/CIA and ISIS/Mossad. ISIS was created/invented by American/Israeli Intelligence. In the Middle East, America has become Masters in someone else's home. It is time for America to leave the Middle East:- https://youtu.be/CZVsWzIb6Vk

  8. USA alot has been bad actor on world stage, but trump is different beast. No good intentions. And his goal doesn't even benefit USA. He needs to charged with war crimes!

  9. Violates international law? Bullshit. Soleimani's assassination is a relief to the entire world, except for nations like Iran.
    Peace for WHO is further out of reach? Only for nations which violate peace at their own expense, such as WHO? Iran. And similar such nations.

  10. We live in Orwellian reallity… West governmant create lies, make police states which suspect laws and spy own citizens… When MSM media prophagate evil ppl, monsteres governmant to call others monsters as excuse to kill them… Writte nonsense as our peacefull governmant in same time when they kill and make aggresion, armed terrorist, make conflicts… Our politic and media twist the truth, we didnt see any orders or attacks on US from Iran general, in same time Trump order killings in another countrys, but Trump is for peace others are monsters… US, Israel break every international law and act as monsters, dont have any right call someone like that

  11. Iran is one of the good guys. They’ve been fighting and killing ISIS, al-Qaeda and other terrorists that were created, armed and funded by our CIA (funded by YOUR taxpayer dollars!) and Saudi Arabia all these years. The US is the bad guy and has been for almost 70 years in the Middle East! The American military-industrial-media complex aka “Deep State” is the greatest terrorist organization on the planet. It has overthrown foreign governments through bloody coups for decades. Likewise, it has waged a simultaneous war with the American population and middle-class through fear, propaganda and lies! We have overthrown democracies from Latin America to Europe to the Middle East to Africa to Asia! 1953 Iran, 1954 Guatemala, 1960 Republic of Congo, 1961 Dominican Republic, 1963 South Vietnam, 1964 Brazil, 1973 Chile, 2011 Libya, 2013 Ukraine, amongst many others — ALL were CIA-led coups overthrowing foreign governments for American corporate and banking interests, not “freedom and democracy.”

    Defense corporations like Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics and United Technologies profit from these wars for their shareholders — primarily bankers and hedge funds on Wall Street, and corporate executives like CEOs. So do think tanks and lobbyists in DC, such as American Defense International. So do PR firms like MSLGROUP. So do corporate mainstream media like CNN, Fox News, MSNBC/Comcast/GE, CBS, Viacom and ABC/Disney — all of whom peddle the CIA/Pentagon narrative and lies. So do BOTH parties — Democrats and Republicans — which accept millions in donations from the military-industrial-media complex, the aforementioned defense corporations and defense contractors. And, finally, but certainly not least, Wall Street bankers like Larry Fink of Blackrock and Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs — the guys who destroyed the economy in 2008 and were bailed out with American tax dollars in 2008 and 2009 under Bush and Obama to the tune of $6 TRILLION! Larry Fink — one of the primary architects who destroyed the economy — wrote up and designed those bailout packages.

    War with Iran is no joke. It will be the beginning of WWIII. Russia and China will not sit back and watch their economies destroyed. Corporate mainstream media is controlled by the CIA and Pentagon, and are merely pushing CIA-talking points. These are Zionist, racist, supremacist sociopaths running the show — guys like Larry Fink, Lloyd Blankfein and Mark Esper, a former Raytheon executive. They could care less for American soldiers’ lives. Heck, they don’t care about Americans in general. They have contempt for humanity. They do not care for “freedom and democracy.” They serve banks, multinational corporations and profit for their shareholders.

    Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United States and the UK represent the true axis of evil on this planet. British imperialism began the illegitimate rule over Persia. The Anglo-Persian Oil Company took all profits and sent them to England, leaving the Persian people with nothing. This led to the famine of 1917-1919 in which 2 MILLION Iranians died. The CIA overthrew Iran’s democratically-elected government in 1953 in a coup — the CIA’s first coup of many to follow — and installed the US puppets, the Shah of Iran and General Zahedi — an open Nazi collaborator trained by the CIA in torture techniques, which, in turn, the CIA learned from Nazi Germany — for oil because their former democratically-elected leader, Mohammad Mossadegh, nationalized the Iranian oil industry and kicked out US and British oil corporations. The Shah of Iran would go on to murder tens of thousands of Iranians using a secret state police. The Iranian people have never trusted the US ever since. The United States started this whole mess with Iran.

    Donald Trump doesn’t know history. Nor is he being briefed on it by the CIA, Pentagon, State Department and US Department of Defense — led by Mark Esper. Why would they brief him when all of this started with an American CIA-led pcoup in 1953? All he was briefed on was the 52 hostages taken by Iran in the 1979 Iranian Revolution that kicked out US imperial control and dictatorial oppression. He was not briefed on the 1953 CIA-conducted coup which started this whole mess — the United States instigated the aggression by overthrowing their democratically-elected government. The Iranians were fighting for GENUINE freedom and democracy — freedom from US corporate oppression — not unlike what happens in America to the American population. It’s, after all, all for the same multinational corporations and banks. Our stupid and forceful diplomatic relations turned it into a theocracy. They had no choice because they couldn’t trust the US government, banks and corporations. Iranians are a rather progressive, liberal society compared to Saudi Arabia — the CIA ally that was actually behind 9/11 and funded the Sunni Wahhabist Salafi jihadist terrorists that flew airplanes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon with instructions from Osama bin Laden, a member of the multibillionaire Saudi Arabian bin Laden family that vacations with the Bush family. Saudi Arabians we’re behind the recent Pensacola shooting that killed American servicemen. Iran has 10,000 Jews living there along with Christians, unlike in Saudi Arabia — an EXTREMIST dictatorial theocracy that regularly beheads its citizens and commits human atrocities.

    Trump is a clueless buffoon who knows nothing whatsoever. He is an amateur. He is the perfect patsy for the Deep State and neocons/neoliberals with his lack of experience. The dumbest thing Trump did in his short presidency was pull out of the Iran nuclear deal — one of the few good things Obama accomplished in his miserable 8 years of bailing out Wall Street, feeding the military-industrial-media complex with new wars in Libya and Syria, and expanding the surveillance state that spies on Americans with the NDAA of 2011. Trump just topped that idiotic feat of pulling out of the Iran deal by killing Soleimani. He just unified Iran and Shia Muslims across the Middle East. The United States was an ally of Soleimani as early as 2001 in the fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan and as late as 2016 under Obama in the fight to take back Mosul, Iraq from ISIS — the terrorist organization created, armed and funded by the CIA, DoD (now led by Mark Esper) and, of course, Saudi Arabia. Soleimani also took back Tikrit, Iraq from ISIS.

    Trump is an unwitting Zionist-controlled puppet of the very military-media industrial complex aka Deep State that he claims to fight against. Trump is a grade A moron with no clue as to what he’s doing. He’s a belligerent fool with no experience or knowledge of history and is playing right into the Deep State’s hands. The Deep State has wanted war with Iran for 40 years since the revolution.

    These are not wars for “freedom and democracy.” These are wars for the Deep State, central banking, the petrodollar — without which the US dollar would collapse — Israel, and Saudi Arabia to profit from and they have cost our US taxpayers $11 TRILLION! Zionist Wall Street, the military-media industrial complex and Israel are bleeding us dry! We’ve been occupying Iraq for 17 years after illegally invading the country based on the CIA lie of “weapons of mass destruction!” When will Americans ever learn that their own government is the greatest threat and enemy on the planet? The Iraqis want us out! We are not welcome anymore! Stop being used by your government, media, banks and corporations!

  12. They are of their father the Devil and the works of their father they will do..Lie.lie thief .thief.murder. murder.they know that their time is soon coming to an end.thats why they are so busy causing problems. .

  13. SO Iran can go around killing 100s of people on planes kill 100s every day with there men in sirya and all over the middle east

    but when the US takes out the boss whos doing it and the US is the bad ones get the fuck out a here

    Iran hold up the world with if yous don't give us money we will make nukes o hell no
    let them have nukes they can't even hit the right plane it wont be long before they blow themself up

  14. If it is proven and corroborated that the claim made by the Iraqi Prime Minister is true– that Soleimani was on a diplomatic mission to respond to Saudi peace overtures — can and will Congress add a third article of impeachment; Or can the President be brought up on charges by the International Court at the Hague (whether during or post presidency)?
