The activities of the #Soleimani over the last few months in particular may not represent an "imminent threat" but that does not make the threat any less real or deadly. Why rule out assassination in the face of such threat? Why bestow immunity on "architects" and masterminds?

And yet #Putin takes exception to being called a killer by @POTUS . He is that and more. He is a sadistic butcher who found a willing playmate in #Assad and a useful playground in #Syria

#Syria has not become a quagmire neither for #Iran nor #Russia . It has become a quagmire for the Syrians left in it, and for our collective sense of humanity and the battered remains of our conscience.

The Trump administration's plan is to "help create quagmires" for Russia in Syria, reports @IgnatiusPost That's the same BS alibi the Obama administration used to avoid action. It didn't work. Russia is happy to keep killing Syrians for years and years.

Sphere of Influence is an imperialist concept: it serves the aggressor and ignores the will and interests of the peoples within the Sphere. Yet today, it’s mostly people who claim to be anti-imperialist who defend it... in the name of realism. I call it hypocrisy #Ukraine #Putin

Despite proving #Russia 's culpability in the downing of #MH17 , a diplomatic boycott of the #WorldCup2018 by the EU doesn't seem to be likely. If even a symbolic punishment of criminal behavior is out of the question, I am not sure how international legal norms can be maintained.

There's no legal or moral justification for slaughtering unarmed civilians. This is wrong, plain and simple. Looking the other way or finding excuses is complicity. Lift the #Gaza siege, stop expanding settlements and end the occupation. That's how to secure your borders.

The #Assad regime is not simply a magnet for or an enabler of terrorism, it is the main conduit that feeds it and feeds off of it. This is a regime that must end if we are to make a serious headway in the fight against terrorism in #Syria and across the world.
