Syria-Lebanon-Iran
CFR President Says ‘The World Will Be The Battlefield’ After Iran Escalation
2020-01-05
[Summit News] The President of the Council on Foreign Relations
...the century-old, left-leaning meeting place for connected senior members of the deep state...
Richard N. Haass says that "the world will be the battlefield" following a dramatic escalation in tensions between the United States and Iran.
No doubt. But it has been for four decades...
Fears of a wider war are rising after Iran’s Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani was killed during an airstrike near Baghdad’s airport.

Haass warned that those who thought any war with Iran would look similar to previous military campaigns were being incredibly naive.

"Make no mistake: any war with Iran will not look like the 1990 Gulf war or the 2003 Iraq wars. It will be fought throughout the region w a wide range of tools vs a wide range of civilian, economic, & military targets. The region (and possibly the world) will be the battlefield," tweeted Haass.

He went on to assert that developments would lead to Iraqi authorities exerting great pressure on the U.S. to leave their country.
If we’re forced out, we’ll take our donations with us. Or perhaps just move it all to Kurdistan — wouldn’t that be fun?

#8  So, muzz screeching about jihad or commies screeching about struggle are not at war with everyone who disagrees with them? And those who disagree with muzzizm or communism should just lie back and enjoy it. Suck it, Haass...
