    I hardly think it's an exaggeration to describe you as anti-American. You're posts seem to rather consistently reveal a resentment of the US. I'm not describing you as an enemy, only that you seem to feel you are.


    I didn't say Iran, I was talking about the broader middle east in general. I would agree that Iran, more than any other other of the Arab countries, has more what we resemble nationhood, and it is hard to compare how that nation would behave if it had a more normal leadership, but even then, Persians are only a little more than half the country, while the rest of the population are mostly various Turkic minorities with their own languages who might bolt if given the opportunity.

    Yes I think you feel yourself to be an enemy of the US. Your posts taken together seem to reveal a resentment towards the US. You personally, not Germany's position as a nation. But anti-Americanism is a fairly common phenomenon across Europe so it's hardly much of a surprise.

    (rolls eyes) I don't remember. I do remember your posts mentioning your visit to the US and the contempt you felt. How is mentioning that relevant? If someone had the interest (I don't) and find all of your posts mentioning your visit to America it would be pretty good evidence that you're anti-American. I'm not clear why you are even trying to argue against that idea. You've made your positions on the US crystal clear in your posts.

    As I previously mentioned, "I'm not describing you as an enemy..."

    As a police officer, I'm sure you would do your duty.

    In a war such as the Iraq war - the soldiers of the invading nation are fair game. Would some nation invade the USA -our generals would be decorated as hero's for having killed 600 of those invaders. It is no different for the other side.

    and Yes .. in the Iraq war the defenders had right on their side.

    "Soleimani had right on his side"

    I simply think that the idea that you would post that sentence means there isn't any point in discussing the issue with you. I merely wanted to highlight how absurd your opinion is.

    Crazy absurd opinion - but a correct one.

    For those under the influence of the propaganda Koolaid Plus - I'm sure this comes as a shock. For the rest of us who are tired of these illegal regime change wars - which end up killing hundreds of thousands of people - support for terrorism - and so on - it is not such an absurd opinion.

    Irrelevant to your absurd opinion. I'm not supportive of regime change wars either, but that doesn't mean Soleimani was on the side of the angels. If your world is that simplistic, you probably can't offer much useful commentary.

    Was one of them this general? How many chant death to America and do you join in? Were any involved in the attack on our embassy?

    Watching Sunday morning news and no one on my local leftist stations are mentioning his terrorist activities. Just referring to him as a general and all the mourners. What a fracking joke our media is.

    Actually it is now Sunday and your comment may be more pointed in saying "the Sunday morning US leftists are consoling each other"

    Hey @Sobo. Your government just said Trump was right to kill this terrorist general.
