Danger man Trump strikes again

Interesting, I wonder what the truth is, are 80 American servicemen and women dead or not? I sincerely hope not.

Indeed you can, but the posters who used this euphemism are all talking about other human beings.

Jura - it's always been about oil. And the UK is as oil-greedy as other countries.
A few years ago I read that some new vast oilfields had been found in the USA and thought maybe things would settle down. But they didn't.

A group of mental health professionals have warned Congress it must act urgently to demand Donald Trump undergo an evaluation to determine his continued fitness for office after nearly a week of heightened tensions with Iran.

I really doubt that anyone is dead maddyone in those missile strikes.The Iranians gave plenty of warning to the Iraq government ( their soldiers in the same bases as American/ British etc) so they would have been moved ahead of the strikes.
It allowed Iran to put out fake news to appease the people.

I seem to remember (and I may be wrong) that the very first US deaths in Vietnam were kept very quiet. And there was also something about soldiers being returned in sealed coffins so no-one could see how they had really died. Must Google it.
Any way the US have probably done the Iranians a faavour they have long wanted a clear pathway through Iraq and now it looks like they will get it. Well done Donald!

The world’s largest arms manufacturers have seen their value rise by nearly £14bn in the wake of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani as the confrontation between the United States and Iran fuels expectations of lucrative new defence equipment orders.

Analysis shows that in the 24 hours after the assassination the stock market value of the world’s nine largest listed arms companies rose by $13bn (£10bn). By the afternoon that increase had risen further to $17.9bn (£13.7bn).

After days of denial and trying to bulldoze the crash site, Iran has finally admitted it was them who shot down the airliner.
In the face of the evidence and various countries pushing to be admitted they had no choice but to confess.
