SINGAPORE: Iran's missile attack
on military bases housing United States troops in Iraq did not intend
to kill, said Middle East expert James Dorsey hours after the incident
on Wednesday (Jan 8) on CNA's Asia Tonight.
Iranian forces
fired missiles at military bases housing US troops in Iraq on Wednesday
in retaliation of the killing of an Iranian general. US President Donald
Trump had ordered the drone strike that killed General Qasem Soleimani
in Baghdad.....
"These were precision-guided missiles. They could've hit hard. They
could've caused casualties, particularly American casualties. They
didn't. They were calibrated not to cause casualties because casualties
would've given Trump no option," said Dr Dorsey.
Above is from CNA. Why this expert said there were no casualties? Because Trump said so, and the American media said so. But Iran claimed 80 American terrorists were killed. 15 missiles fired, no casualties? Blanks? The American terrorists used one cruise missiles and killed 9 Iranians in the attack on Soleimani.
Who is lying and who is telling the truth? It depends on who you choose to believe. The bananas would be like this expert, everything the Americans said is true. I also agree that Trump and the Americans are saying the truth for the following reasons:
1. As the Americans claimed, the Iranians informed them of the strikes before the attacks.
2. So the Americans could evacuate first. The Iranians did not want or dare to kill Americans.
3. The Iranian weapons were unsophisticated, not good enough, unlike the good and precision American weapons.
4. The Iranians did not put any explosive material on the warhead, firing blanks, so only sound but cannot cause any damages.
5. The Iranians are so afraid of the Americans and were putting on a PR show despite the cries for revenge after the killing of their beloved general Soleimani.
Anyone that can believe in the above reasoning can also believe that there is no American casualties. And they can believe that the Americans are angels and Trump is God's messenger of peace and will make America Great again.
What do you think? Can you think? Would you think or be like the unthinking bananas?

The fact is that the Iranian Government has offered US$80 million as a bounty to anyone who kills Dortard Trump.
This fact a lone debunks all the PR propaganda that Trump and US media are trying to project to the world.
Maybe me choose to believe the Dotard because the Americuns got IRON MAN & The Hulks and r all skilly trained as Skywalkers Star Wars Jedi with an Avengers heard. But let's not forget the Iranians r Thor with Flash like lightning strikes on the Americuns ( & also let's not forget Thor is the most powerful against the iron man or hulks), it's real life Avengers movie in action woa, can the First Order of UN stop this..
These Whites and their bananas are just afraid that their imaginary SUPREMACY is eroding fast.
Thus, they cannot still have their status quo decadent life styles.
So, they have to prograte their SUPREMACY and still imagining that they are Superior Beings.
In any Evil Deeds that they had committed they have to find a scape goat to blame.
The Irians should be able to ascertain the truths in the Black Box of the Downing of the plane.
But, they will still have propaganda to cover the Truths.
Talking is useless.
You want change?
VOTE OPPOSITION
Can't you read? This is about Iran and USA. Not about Singapore or Voting. Idiots - how to influence others?
Above is from CNA. Why this expert said there were no casualties?
RB
Because Sinkieland need to be friendly with America mah.
Or else if American aircraft carriers don't come to Changi Naval Base, there is no more deterrent effect so Sinkieland may kena attacked by bigger neighbours, u know.
So like that how to expect CNA, which is likely to be under PAP control, not to say no casualties for America, u tell me lah?
Or how to expect the Sinkie opposition, which could be sponsored by PAP, to be ready to be govt?
Or how to expect the Sinkie opposition, which could be sponsored by PAP, to be ready to be govt?

The Sinkie opposition "attack attack" PAP only, but dare not or rather not able to replace PAP as govt.

Hey dude, u r on wat topic ?!?!

CNA = PAP News Network
@ all
Please lah. "He-said, She-said is a complete waste of time".
Trump is not a warmonger. He make plenty wayang wayang...then backs off when he cools down. He runs the show like a cost-conscious businessman ...i.e. dun spend too much money on war. You can see how he strikes at Baghadi....short and sweet, and Soleimani....zoom...BOOM...gone. Then when the Iranians get mad, Trump deploys 1000 troops (small number). Bush or Obama would have sent in tens of thousands. Trump gets the job done CHEAP and GOOD
Here he is looking very Presidential: https://youtu.be/oEeDJsmvKxs
Note the comments. He has international fans.
@All,
Don't be surprise that it is the current Iranian leadership that SECRETLY (unknown to US at that time) supplied the Sulaimani info (date, time, location) to US. Also another 2nd high-level Quds general but US missed this guy in Yemen. Remember --- the Iranians are Persians with 10,000 years of in-fighting & back-stabbing history. Sulaimani has TONS of political enemies back home --- he was a threat to the current leadership & was seen as a soon-to-be replacement for the current Iranian president.
Sulaimani became too arrogant, thinking he had the support of the masses, & insulted many of the ruling elites. And started running his proxy terrorist groups in the Middle-East, Africa & Central Asia like his own personal army, together with coming up with his own multi-million dollar financing schemes outside of central Iranian control (which is currently being handled by that 2nd Quds general also targeted for dismissal).
It is a MASTERSTROKE of the Iranian elites to manipulate their No. 1 Enemy USA to do the dirty work for them!!!
That's the main reason why the missile strike by Iran (mainly 1950s-era Scud missiles) landed on the external perimeters of the airbases, rather than the populated central portions of the airbases (terminals, control towers, barracks, hangars etc).
As for that SAM strike on the Ukraine 737, many intel agencies have already pieced the info from personal eye-witnesses on the ground & sigint tracing the missiles launches (yes there was more than 1 missile launched) & the explosion, and also satellite imaging of the whole thing. Intel agencies don't want to release too much to the public as many of the techniques / capabilities are too classified & frankly they don't even want to let other "friendly" nations know what they can do.
Top political leaders of Iran & Ukraine & Canada, as well as some of the investigating team, have been presented with SOME of the evidence. Hence no point for Iran to keep denying as too many 3rd parties involved.

Pls lah. No adults in this world do not ''lie''....
Btw, they will call it willful participation in a campaign of misinformation.
It is a MASTERSTROKE of the Iranian elites to manipulate their No. 1 Enemy USA to do the dirty work for them!!!

Like that meh?
Could it also be a MASTERSTROKE of the PAP to sponsor the Sinkie opposition to look stupid, to be not united and not ready to be govt to do the dirty work of every time lose election?
It is a MASTERSTROKE of the Iranian elites to manipulate their No. 1 Enemy USA to do the dirty work for them!!!

Kill with a borrowed knife (借刀殺人) strategy?
Attack using the strength of another (in a situation where using one's own strength is not favourable). Trick an ally into attacking him, bribe an official to turn traitor, or use the enemy's own strength against him.
@ WSG
Ah yes, the constant "in-group" competition in national politics.
Even in China's CCP, there's ongoing "competition" (games) between Jiang Zemin and Xi. 😂
In the USA we see Trump doing battle with his enemies daily. The only difference between cuntries is that the Americans are OPEN about their hostilities in domestic politics...other cuntries it's all hush hush, with opposing parties putting on false fronts pretending to like each other in public.
Taiwan election President Tsai Ing Wen is being re elected to office. It shows the world that Taiwanese has rejected outright the PRC CCP one country duo systems governing. Does it mean that Taiwan gonna be starved to death when stomach can't b filled? Can democracy filled Taiwanese stomach? Will there be more tensions in Taiwan strait? All r too early to tell, let's wait & see, hv some popcorn..
Money Can $et Murderers Free
The murder was so brutal it shocked even the hardened detectives who arrived at the scene on the outskirts of Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.
Bushra Iftikhar, a 28-year-old housewife, had been stabbed multiple times with such force that the knife her assailant used had bent out of shape, and he had continued his brutal attacks with a screwdriver instead.
The killer was her husband, Sami Ullah.
The couple had four children already, and at the time of her death Bushra Iftikhar was pregnant with their fifth.
Why exactly her husband killed her still remains unclear.
The murderer claimed in court to have been suffering from a mental breakdown and to have no recollection of the incident. Bushra Iftikhar's family said that her husband accused her of wanting to convert to another religious sect.
But what does seem clear is that Sami Ullah was a violent man. He had previously been accused of the attempted murder of a neighbour, and of being part of a violent argument at a restaurant.
Police believe he should have been in prison, but instead he didn't even face a proper trial.
According to Bushra Iftikhar's brother, Sami Ullah's family were influential in the local area and had paid money to the victims of those earlier cases.
"In the old cases, he gave money and quickly got out of prison," Mohammad Zakaria said bluntly.
Under Pakistani law, victims or their families have the right to forgive suspects in a number of serious crimes, including most instances of murder. All they have to do is state in icourt that they forgive a suspect "in the name of God".
In reality, legal observers agree that the primary motive for that "forgiveness" is normally financial, and the informal payment of money to victims is not illegal.
That is one of the reasons that a rich country can also easily become a crime-free country. How to do that? By keeping the gap between rich and poor wide apart - by suppressing wages and imposing taxes that benefit the rich but heavily laden the poor, and paying leaders exorbitantly high salaries and bonuses.
Does that ring a bell somewhere in your sub-conscious?
Taiwan is navigating towards a full confrontation with China. No doubt
The old voters, who were strong supporters and grateful to the KMT, have died or are dying. This natural attrition contributes to the decline of the present KMT.
The younger voters, who have grown up in an envirinment of peace, ease, prosperity and better education, plus the Internet, are more inclined to support Western Democracratic values, which are being sold by the Pro-Americans Tsai Ing Wen and gang.
Tsai's 57% success is virtually a plain-sailing. Not much efforts are required and not much efforts have been put in.
Tsai's easy success in this election has also been partially contributed by the KMT's own weaknesses - lack of good leadership and lack of unity caus3d by internal squabblings.
The trend towards more freedom of speech, expression and idea conrltribution in running the country is picking up momentum across the whole world. This is evidenced by the numerous protests, sometimes violent, everywhere from Europe to America to Africa and Asia.
Any government that still thinks that Authoritarianism and Dictatorship can still be used to maintain its power must be living in euphoria of past generations' achuevements, or seriously sick.
Sacrificing liberty for security is good up to a point. When securuty of jobs, livelihoods and future stability and progress are being threatened, there is no point in sacrificing one's liberty. The need to wrestle back the collective liberty of the common masses from the undeserved authorities becomes urgent and vital. This is the cummulation of all the years of sufferings under the hands of control freaks.
So no matter how many hundreds of thousands they attend the Opposition rallies is no use.
So think this coming GE will skip attending the OPPO rallies as the.Dafts in their stupor and fears will still vote the Papies in.

By their fore generations.
They voted just to spite China that they are going to lose their freedoms under Xi.
Throwing away the incompetence of their present government and their sufferings of bigger survival issues to have another four years of incompetence rule....
Do the Taiwanese understand what is freedom?
Wait till they invited the American soldiers into Taiwan just like the South Koreans, Japan and Iraq, then they would know what is freedom when they became the next American colony.
