Kim calling Trump -- No more meetings

By Humeyra Pamuk and Jonathan Landay

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday said Qassem Soleimani was killed as part of a broader strategy of deterring challenges by U.S. foes that also applies to China and Russia, further diluting the assertion that the top Iranian general was struck because he was plotting imminent attacks on U.S. targets.

In his speech at Stanford University's Hoover Institute, Pompeo made no mention of the threat of imminent attacks planned by Soleimani. It only was in response to a question that he repeated his earlier assertion that pre-empting such plots was the reason for the Jan. 3 American drone strike on Iran's second most powerful official.

His speech, "The Restoration of Deterrence: The Iranian Example," focused on what he called an administration strategy to establish "real deterrence" against Iran following earlier Republican and Democratic policies that encouraged Tehran's "malign activity....

On Sunday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he had seen no intelligence forewarning of imminent attacks on embassies.

Trump on Monday added new fuel to the controversy by saying "it really doesn't matter" whether Soleimani posed an imminent threat.

Pompeo said there was "a bigger strategy" behind the killing of Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, Iran's elite foreign espionage and paramilitary force.

"President Trump and those of us in his national security team are re-establishing deterrence – real deterrence ‒ against the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said."

The above comments were from an article in Yahoo News telling the world how this international terrorist country is going to kill leaders of other countries at their whims and fancy, they called it a new strategy of assassinations. Kim Jong Un better be very careful.  All that is needed is for these rogues to fabricate some intelligence threats and then kill him. And yes, the American terrorists also said this applies to China and Russia, which means any other country in the whole wide world.  China and Russia should do the same and kill those Americans that are plotting to create unrest in other countries especially in Hong Kong. Just kill them in the name of national security.

What would the UN say? What would the western countries say? What would the cronies and lackeys of the evil Empire say? The USA is a law abiding country, respects International Law, a rule of law country, good and deserving to be the policeman of the world especially in South China Sea?
