Ya' know, I'm probably not the best read person around, but I had never even heard of Soleimani before Trump had him killed. If he was the baddest azz terrorist in the world and was being targeted by US military for years, I'm surprised that I don't recall ever reading or hearing about him before he was dead. If Soleimani was the person responsible for the attack where the American contractor was killed, then most any [Bleeeeep!]-for-tat response by the US is justified, whether it's Trump or someone else. It's just that everything Trump does is suspect because he's the most un-fit person ever to serve as US president. That, and he's known to be a pathalogical liar who lies. And then lies again. So yeah, everything Trump says and does must be carefully filtered for truth. Hope this helps your friend.
