Trump killed the general leader on purpose. Two reasons: he was going to be removed from the WH and its the beggining of the year. This is because the WW3. And putin and the china president and Trump are on the same side. This seems to be because of the oil so Iran tries to defend itself alone.
Also trumps wall blocks animal migrations and it is too big. to create a false sense of insecurity and to create conflict.
the trumps wall is also a waste of resources.
russia is not going to create a wall around itself. imagine that.
its too many people diying for nothing
its a waste of life. its humans that die, animals and plants. imagine these greedy people putting california and australia forests on fire to give a sense of end of the world. can some anonymous people go to the deep dark web and get and pay someone to kill trump with a sniper please? is trump counting on staying in office, not being impeached, because of this? is there anonymous in Iran. I think even Iran president is playing the same game. the final objective of this is to censor everyone and take rights out o people. you can notice that right in the beggining of the year trump provoqued Iran and killed the general while all the world is watching and believing.
the WW3 is against the people. why the people have to die? you can see the game because trump right in the beggining of the year he killed the general he provoqued and the iran president provoqued and they focus all their efforts against Iran. so who is behind Iran? china and russia probably or trying. and why so many troops and the red flag of doom saying war is coming? why not killing the iranian president?
