Iran joins Democrats in demanding Trump be jailed

| January 4, 2022

Two years ago Trump authorized the drone strike that took out Iran’s chief terrorist General Solemani. The Iranian President is demanding Trump (and former SecState Pompeo among many others) be placed on trial for it. He joins the chorus of American Democrats who have also called for Trump to be tried for various imaginary slights.

Reuters reports;

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, speaking on the second anniversary of the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani by the United States, said that former U.S. President Donald Trump must face trial for the killing or Tehran would take revenge.

Iran and groups allied with it in Iraq and other countries have been holding events to honour Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, the overseas arm of the elite Revolutionary Guards. He was killed in Iraq in a drone strike on Jan. 3, 2020, ordered by then President Trump.

“If Trump and (former secretary of state Mike) Pompeo are not tried in a fair court for the criminal act of assassinating General Soleimani, Muslims will take our martyr’s revenge,” Raisi said in a speech on Monday.

“The aggressor, murderer and main culprit – the then president of the United States – must be tried and judged under the (Islamic) law of retribution, and God’s ruling must be carried out against him,” Raisi added.

Under Iran’s Islamic laws, a convicted murderer can be executed unless the family of the victim agree to take “blood money” through a reconciliation.

Iranian judicial officials have communicated with authorities in nine countries after identifying 127 suspects in the case, including 74 U.S. nationals, Prosecutor-General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri told state television.

“The criminal former president (Trump) is at the top of the list,” he said.

On Sunday, Iran urged the United Nations Security Council in a letter to hold the United States and Israel, which Tehran says was also involved in the killing, to account, Iranian media said.

Days after the assassination, the United States told the United Nations that the killing was self-defence. The then U.S. Attorney General William Barr said Trump clearly had the authority to kill Soleimani and the general was a “legitimate military target”.

Raisi joins other visionaries of justice.

Hey f-kstick, don’t threaten me with a good time! Rumor has it Soleimani was offered up as a sacrifice to others’ avarice. Hey Iran, much like the current situation here in the good ol’ US of A, the enemy is within.

Worry about your own backyard.

What do you suppose they will do? Put bounties on US Soldiers? Proclaim “Death to America and Israel”? Molest some children? Support and send money and guns to Hizzbolah?

Those are SOPs, so all of that but harderer. Maybe add some stoning of women for showing an ankle, because ‘reasons’.

“…against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” IMO President Trump was just abiding by his oath of office. Damn shame that we seem to have as many domestic enemies as we do foreign.

Release the Kraken.

Ah, yes. I remember this well. How the poor, poor delicate snowflakes on college campuses all over the country were moved to righteous anger over the unjustified murder of the “warrior poet….um…Solarpanamani…I think”. A man NONE OF THEM had heard of before he’d been turned into meat flakes.
And now Iran wants to try our former President in a “fair” court. I’m thinkin’ that the “relatives” of Soultrainamani will be asking for blood money to the tune of….oh, lets say the amount needed by the Iranian government to produce enough plutonium and uranium to blow Israel off the map…

Ha! Solacepepperoni was a moderate religious scholar, or was that the other guy we turned into a pile of goo?
Am I happy Solemnpuddleman-ee is dead? Naw, ‘ecstatic’ would be closer to the feeling.

College students and the Wokeratti should stick to virtue signaling to each other and leave the Warrior-ing to their betters.

After reading the piece, I mean pieces of gen. salami, I feel like a chicken salami on rye with hand cut french fries and a Dr. Browns cream soda.

Will you be using an AGM-114R9X to cut up your foods?

The Hellfire R9X is a Hellfire variant with a kinetic warhead with pop-out blades instead of explosives, used against specific human targets; its lethality is due to 45 kg (100 lb) of dense material with six blades flying at high speed, to crush and slice the targeted person—it has been called the Ninja bomb and the Flying Ginsu. -Wiki

Solimani has the blood of hundreds, if not thousands of American troops on his hands. Good Riddance to him!!
