After Trump ordered the strike that resulted in the death of Gen. Qasem Soleimani, it wasn't at all a surprise that liberal activists and news stations immediately tried to make this guy out to be a saint and the government that he works for to be an innocent group that is simply being bullied by the USA. This is not the case.
I know that opines on Twitter are not a good place to get your world-view but in the case of failed quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who never misses and opportunity to cash in on fabricated controversy, that is precisely the case.
There was also has-been actress Rose McGowan who so desperately wants to jump on the Alyssa Milano justice train that she gets involved tweeting this garbage.
Both of these nerds are extremely wealthy and if they wanted to "escape" the certainly have the means to do so. I have a friend who lives in Costa Rica whose overall monthly expenses are about what it would imagine your dry-cleaning budget is. You are not trapped Rose.
And to Kaepernick, this General that you are admonishing has overseen the execution torture and mistreatment of thousands of almost entirely brown people in Iran because the color of the skin is the only thing that matters, right?
Soleimani takes credit for turning the tide of war in Syria to Assad's favor and that worked out really well for everyone didn't it? He also takes credit for drone strikes on Saudi Oil interests and is also directly linked to the deaths of over 600 American overseas personnel, many of which were African-Americans.
While I do hope that the trumpets of war do not start for the United States in yet another unwinnable situation, I hate that everyone shuts up attempting to admonish this general as if he were some kind of peace activist - he was far from it.
I just find it frustrating that the news outlets and individuals who were attacking Trump for doing "nothing" about Iranian provocation in the region previously, are the same people who are attacking him now for doing "something." At some point we have to admit that it isn't the actions they hate, it is the person and no matter what he does, they are going to have a problem with it.
