Pentagon: We have no evidence of Suleimani’s preparations for attacks on US embassies

The Pentagon once again makes it clear that there is information inconsistency in the US administration. Recall that a day after the elimination of Iranian General Kassem Suleimani, Donald Trump literally announced the following: “This was done since Suleimani was preparing attacks on American embassies in different countries.” Trump’s speech included words about Iran’s preparations for attacks on the “4 US diplomatic missions.”

The US Department of Defense, a few days after Trump's statements, says that they did not have any data on Kassem Suleimani’s preparations for attacks on US embassies.

US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper:

We have no evidence that Iran was preparing attacks on our four embassies. At least I have not seen any such evidence yet.

Moreover, Esper, realizing that such words can cause Trump's anger, added that he still shares the president’s words.

From the statement of the head of the Pentagon:

US embassies, of course, are a prime factor in the US presence in the region. Therefore, of course, I share the president’s words that they can attack our diplomatic missions in the Middle East.

As you can see, in these statements, causal relationships are lost. After all, the phrases “planned attacks on 4 embassies” and “may attack our embassies” (especially after the US actions against the same Suleimani) have different semantic meaning.

So far, everything fits into the typical American manner of using force to accuse an opponent without providing at least some evidence. A striking example from the relatively recent past is the invasion of Iraq after Secretary of State Powell demonstrated the famous test tube with white powder. Chemical weapons not found in Iraq, and almost 17 years after the invasion.

The diagnosis is made by a sick doctor Therefore, the treatment is the same - with a sick sneeze, for example, the leg is removed, and with coughing - the arm.

If only the Hague, and where is the UN, where is Unesco, about Trump’s promise to destroy cultural heritage, etc.

[Roman1970_1]

If only the Hague, and where is the UN, where is Unesco

And here is Unesco?

[cniza]

culture
The foundation of UNESCO's cultural work is the promotion of cultural diversity based on human relationships. This approach was reaffirmed in 2001 with the adoption of the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity. From the protection of the world cultural and natural heritage, which is of value to all mankind, the organization moved to the protection of various forms of intangible cultural heritage, masterpieces of oral creativity [Yu. nineteen]. Another moment in UNESCO’s work in the field of culture is the preservation of cultural sites in the zone of armed conflict, the basis of this area of ​​activity is the 19 Hague Convention [Yu. twenty].

But at the same time including ...

The American lies cost dear to the peoples of the World. And they regularly lie like breathing.

The Pentagon once again makes it clear that there is information inconsistency in the US administration.

Now everything is clearly pointing to Trump, his decision.

[cniza]

It looks like he will be blamed in the elections and "their Republicans".

And "their own" has no one promising to replace, so the situation is not simple.
For the voter, all these quirks of foreign policy are not so important. The main thing is that their "kid" can hit when necessary / wants, and all sorts of nuances of events somewhere over the hill, for them pfe.
We'll see.
My feeling is, if Trump is not pushed back by some radical methods, he will break through.

Of course, if no one is "hooligan" it will go off with a bang.

Yeah. There is experience of "hooliganism" in America.

[cniza]

This time they are storming and very much ...

[rocket757]

So the choice for the last time was very indicative ... Trump, of course he is from the rich, but not systemic, this is a fact. The system does not like this and is unlikely to forgive.

Here it is the root of the problem and it (the system) will never accept it; it is a stranger to it.

So we see it now! There is no longer a circus, there is not a long time before the orgy!

[cniza]

And in my opinion it has long been there, it all began, or rather accelerated, after September 11, 2001.

[rocket757]

There would be a reason, and there will always be nonsense on him ... however, many do not need any reason.

[Yves762]

Prevention is better than cure.!.

Yes, banged just in case.

That's awesome!
And what, excuse me, are you even more convincing evidence Hiley Likely и powder tubes are needed?
Well, not real same evidence? Verified. The obvious ones.

[Machete]

Everything as usual.
There is no evidence, but the man has already been killed.
However, nothing new for mattresses.

[cniza]

First they do, then they always think that way.

[Tomich3]

and they never have evidence))

[knn54]

They continue to "dig" under Trump.

And even in the camp of the Republicans.

[Red]

Proof is needed when you play by international rules. America has long been on everything and everyone from the high bell tower. During the Cold War, they had a rival to the USSR. Now they have no competitors. Russia can only express "deep concern" about Europe and other nudging ones, there is no need to speak at all.

[cniza]

US embassies, of course, are a prime factor in the US presence in the region. Therefore, of course, I share the president’s words that they can attack our diplomatic missions in the Middle East.

Super ..., "if a man can, then he can be accused of rape ...".

[bessmertniy]

This is which side to look at. Indeed, women can be blamed for rape. Very scary women in their whims!

[Paul Siebert]

When you read Trump on Twitter, or listen to on TV, it seems that the old president has already visited insanity.
Mutually exclusive statements. Ignorance of the situation. I do not care about what is really happening in the world.
He has one goal - re-election this year ...
Democrats recently accused Trump of being lenient with the withdrawal of troops from Syria.
He immediately said that no one was leaving anywhere, and the United States would protect Syrian oil from bad terrorists, which he, Trump, very much loves ...
Some babble of a defective child.
With Suleymani - the same situation. Ratings - Above All!
But in connection with the assassination of the Al-Quds commander with ratings, Trump for some reason did not work out.
Miscalculated with ratings. They are falling. And to fight for a long time is scary.
Ratings after all ... Can completely fall ...

[tihonmarine]

Therefore, of course, I share the president’s words that they can attack our diplomatic missions in the Middle East.

Interestingly, but there are those who do not want to attack?

[Nait]

A striking example from the relatively recent past is the invasion of Iraq after Secretary of State Powell demonstrated the famous test tube with white powder. No chemical weapons were found in Iraq even almost 17 years after the invasion.
**********************************************************************************
Then they said there that they found something there.
Not biological, but some remnants of chemical weapons (old rusty ammunition).


And also Sadam, like a bad one, for:

He ran terrorist camps for Palestinians, paid $ 25 to the family of every Palestinian who blew up in Israel: “Money from Saddam Hussein ... was given to the families of suicide bombers and people affected by the intifada, with the full support of Arafat and other high-ranking PA officials. [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] The Guardian writes that Saddam's money was distributed on a "sliding scale": $ 25,000 to families of suicide bombers, $ 10,000 to families of militants killed in the resistance to Israel, $ 1,000 when injured in battle, and $ 5,000 to those Palestinians whose homes were destroyed. According to a spokesman for Hussein, as of March 2003, he had allocated 12,500,000 US dollars to the families of the "shahids" and others who suffered at the hands of the Israelis. [47]

For such money, there would have to be someone explode every day ...
Why would terrorists need Sadam, why would he support them,
if he was king so local?

Well, like, he used chemical weapons against civilians, although as it turned out later,
it wasn’t - it was an Iranian response to the Iraqi army, but it hurt civilians as well.

[Aliken]

Pompeo in another lie caught. Along the way, lying and unscrupulousness is the main criterion for the post of US Secretary of State.

[megadeth]

Why don't our leaders pay attention (following the example of the Americans) to the leaders of the "Right Sector" zapr. in Russia organ. and commanders of nationalist battalions in Ukraine.

[Thrifty]

Well, yes, it’s like roughly downloading that a trump can become pregnant, and then come to her senses and say that the trump is not a woman! !!

[rotmistr60]

There was no data, and there is no, but "they (the Iranians) can attack" - the logic of the American-reinforced concrete and does not even require explanation. Wanted - killed and it does not matter whether there was a threat or not, and the whole world is in tension. These frostbitten with a "grenade" just need to periodically show two of theirs, otherwise it will not end well.

[Mikhail3]

Inconsistency has nothing to do with it. The deliberate negligence and dismissive tone of the comments were not chosen by chance. The USA shows everyone that they will kill anyone they want. At the same time, they will not even complicate themselves by writing a smooth excuse. The goal is bullying. Leaders of all countries, special services and other organizations must realize that they can all be killed by the United States at any time, that’s all.

[riwas]

The Washington Post reports that on the day of Suleimani’s assassination, the US military made another attempt to liquidate a senior Iranian official in Yemen, Abdul Reza Shahlai, a financial specialist and key commander of the Quds elite forces.

Everything fits into the struggle of elites within the United States. Powell with his test tube is completely out of place here. Democrats are trying to launch trump impeachment, so I use every opportunity to lower his rating. The order to liquidate Suleymani is his direct order, and the Pentagon translates arrows just in case.

[evgen1221]

And these statements will not be material evidence of state terrorism in America at a meeting in the UN? After all, it turned out perfectly.

[Strashila]

https://lenta.ru/news/2020/01/13/ukraine_airlines
Become more and more interesting.
"The complete chronology of the crash of the Ukrainian plane in Iran was published"
from the article
"In the first three minutes, the liner gained an altitude of 2,4 kilometers and all this time was reflected on the radars. After a few minutes, the electronic systems stopped working, and the aircraft transmitted the last signal. Within a few seconds, an Iranian air defense missile hit the plane, it caught fire, then the liner was hit by another missile, which, according to The New York Times, was fired from the country's secret military bases. "
The Iranians initially talked about seconds to make a decision.
It turns out that there was originally a glitch on the plane ?, which led to the tragedy.

[NF68]

Those. The Americans killed Suleimani just like that. Just in case.

[Thompson]

Well survived, it happened.
It’s not even necessary to shake the test tube - enough assumptions or whatever they say there — Highly likely

[Vitalian]

We have no evidence that Iran was preparing attacks on our four embassies. At least I have not seen any such evidence yet.

But Israel clearly had, and especially before the US elections .. That's Trump and seduced .. Oh Donald set you up like a loshara ..
And he could have left as the only president of the United States who did not start a war (major conflict)
There is such a tradition in the USA before the presidential election to wet some country in the world ..

[Shchors take it]

tail wags dog? Does it seem to me the current US policy?
