    "In your opinion, if anyone around the world wants to take their revenge on the assassination of Soleimani and intends to do it proportionately in the way they suggest — that we take one of theirs now that they’ve got one of ours — who should we consider to take out in the context of America?

    “Think about it. Are we supposed to take out Spider-Man and SpongeBob? They don’t have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large landmass, but it doesn’t have any heroes. All of their heroes are cartoon characters — they’re all fictional.”

    Trump is basically a fictional cartoon character, so this checks out.

    I get the feeling, but the usa people elected him twice, and Bush twice, so assume the usa people will vote for another psychopath again. Dealing with him is a short term fix but there will be another. Think about what has to be done to inoculate yourself from people in the usa over the long term.

      Same goes for killing Khamenei, there’s always someone next in line. It doesn’t mean killing world leaders has no effect…

      Don’t you realize how big it would be if Iran manages to kill Trump? It would mean the US President is not untouchable. No foreign actor has yet killed a US president.

        If it is personal, they can have him in 2 years. Even a former President would be a historical event.

        He likes to revoke the SS protection from his political rivals, a dangerous precedent for him…

        Yeah but it’s like 9/11, all it will do is allow even crazier nutjobs to feel vindicated and make things even worse.
