Iran/Persian culture is beautiful too, you shouldn't have to even entertain the types of things being discussed right now! It's just insane! My thoughts are with you & wishing you the best! I really hope this madman is dealt with!

Most Americans are against this bullshit. This is the result of an idiot elected by a broken system sucking up to his overzealous followers so he'll be perceived as "tough." Regardless of our two countries' differences, I don't hold anything against the Iranian people and am sorry things turned out this way.
Not surprised a lot of Americans talking about war like its some kind of a game or normal thing,they never lived in war conditions.I can tell you i wish no human being something like that,ever.
That's because The US is a better country than yours even with the craziness, better morals, better economy, better president than most etc.. Truth hurts I know. I'm an immigrant myself who also lived in war conditions and had to fight communist. But now a proud US citizen also US Army Vet , and with this great economy and thanks to God, I was able to get a house with 1.6 acres and a landscape business which I'm running myself. I'm a living proof of the American dream. Is easy to talk shait about the US when that's the only thing you can do.
Oh ur such a good person, let’s just cancel everyone steal money so everything will be ok. I agree Americans, the people who abolished slavery and pay for everyone’s military, they only like war. God I mean, imagine freedom, there fuckin stupid.
Retaliation?????....where was the "retaliation" for the service member, and 2 contractors, killed in a terror attack, in Kenya, 2 days ago? Further proof that Agent Orange Adolf Twittler didn't order that attack on the Iranian General because of some embassy attack.
@901bluefox Oh god, are you serious? The "embassy was attacked"? That's a funny way of describing an angry protesting rioting mob. List the name of even ONE person who died in this "attack" of yours, I'll be waiting right here. When you're done listing out all the people who died (hint hint, it was ZERO), then explain to me how killing the head of another country's army is the appropriate and proportional response.
First of all, you should be aware that not everyone on the internet is from the US, so you can keep your narrow-minded binary rhetoric to yourself. You won't be able to catalogue my political or ethical baseline in your preciously simple dems vs reps black and white narrative. Secondly, the civilized part of the world flips our shit because Trump is a senile egomaniac and a pathological liar that doesn't even understand the limitations of his powers as the POTUS and sidestepping the constitutional checks and his own intelligence apparatus. Thirdly, a POTUS is openly and repeatedly threatening with actions that constitute warcrimes, yet the "leftists" are rabid. Sure honey, whatever gets you hard. I can only assume you're going to be standing as rigidly at attention when the roll call comes in to send fresh bodies to yet another decades worth of "peace-keeping" operations in the Middle East that the US can't even afford to finance.
@@iamthepotato4312 australia is on fire, flint still does not have clean water, the president is trying to start a pointless war, authoritarianism is on the rise, the climate is going downhill, the president is going back on many of his promises, the president attempted to interfere in the election, modern medicine is being increasingly questioned. What exacly is going right in your mind?
"It's worth remembering that Hitler was actually an incompetent, lazy egomaniac and his government was an absolute clown show. In fact, this may even have helped his rise to power, as he was consistently underestimated by the German elite. Before he became chancellor, many of his opponents had dismissed him as a joke for his crude speeches and tacky rallies. Even after elections had made the Nazis the largest party in the Reichstag, people still kept thinking that Hitler was an easy mark, a blustering idiot who could easily be controlled by smart people. Why did the elites of Germany so consistently underestimate Hitler? Possibly because they weren't actually wrong in their assessment of his competency-they just failed to realise that this wasn't enough to stand in the way of his ambition. As it would turn out, Hitler was really bad at running a government. As his own press chief Otto Dietrich later wrote in his memoir The Hitler I Knew, "In the twelve years of his rule in Germany Hitler produced the biggest confusion in government that has ever existed in a civilized state." His government was constantly in chaos, with officials having no idea what he wanted them to do, and nobody was entirely clear who was actually in charge of what. He procrastinated wildly when asked to make difficult decisions, and would often end up relying on gut feeling, leaving even close allies in the dark about his plans. His "unreliability had those who worked with him pulling out their hair," as his confidant Ernst Hanfstaengl later wrote in his memoir Zwischen Weißem und Braunem Haus. This meant that rather than carrying out the duties of state, they spent most of their time in-fighting and back-stabbing each other in an attempt to either win his approval or avoid his attention altogether, depending on what mood he was in that day. There's a bit of an argument among historians about whether this was a deliberate ploy on Hitler's part to get his own way, or whether he was just really, really bad at being in charge of stuff. Dietrich himself came down on the side of it being a cunning tactic to sow division and chaos-and it's undeniable that he was very effective at that. But when you look at Hitler's personal habits, it's hard to shake the feeling that it was just a natural result of putting a workshy narcissist in charge of a country. Hitler was incredibly lazy. According to his aide Fritz Wiedemann, even when he was in Berlin he wouldn't get out of bed until after 11 a.m., and wouldn't do much before lunch other than read what the newspapers had to say about him, the press cuttings being dutifully delivered to him by Dietrich. He was obsessed with the media and celebrity, and often seems to have viewed himself through that lens. He once described himself as "the greatest actor in Europe," and wrote to a friend, "I believe my life is the greatest novel in world history." In many of his personal habits he came across as strange or even childish-he would have regular naps during the day, he would bite his fingernails at the dinner table, and he had a remarkably sweet tooth that led him to eat "prodigious amounts of cake" and "put so many lumps of sugar in his cup that there was hardly any room for the tea." He was deeply insecure about his own lack of knowledge, preferring to either ignore information that contradicted his preconceptions, or to lash out at the expertise of others. He hated being laughed at, but enjoyed it when other people were the butt of the joke (he would perform mocking impressions of people he disliked). But he also craved the approval of those he disdained, and his mood would quickly improve if a newspaper wrote something complimentary about him. Little of this was especially secret or unknown at the time. It's why so many people failed to take Hitler seriously until it was too late, dismissing him as merely a "half-mad rascal" or a "man with a beery vocal organ." In a sense, they weren't wrong. In another, much more important sense, they were as wrong as it's possible to get. Hitler's personal failings didn't stop him having an uncanny instinct for political rhetoric that would gain mass appeal, and it turns out you don't actually need to have a particularly competent or functional government to do terrible things. We tend to assume that when something awful happens there must have been some great controlling intelligence behind it. It's understandable: how could things have gone so wrong, we think, if there wasn't an evil genius pulling the strings? The downside of this is that we tend to assume that if we can't immediately spot an evil genius, then we can all chill out a bit because everything will be fine. But history suggests that's a mistake, and it's one that we make over and over again. Many of the worst man-made events that ever occurred were not the product of evil geniuses. Instead they were the product of a parade of idiots and lunatics, incoherently flailing their way through events, helped along the way by overconfident people who thought they could control them."

As an Aussie I love our US friends. Without you coming when we needed you we couldn't survived WWII. However, we followed the USA into Vietnam which was a disaster. We then followed into Afghanistan and that also turned into a long quagmire. And we were also one of the few nations to follow into Iraq to get rid of Saddam, which also just created disaster after disaster. If President Trump creates another unnecessary Middle-Eastern war for his own ego... I hope our leaders pull back from the US alliance until a more stable person becomes president of the USA once more.
Don’t you realize that going to war with and bombing the crap out of Iran is the only way to fight the horrific fires ravaging your country? I mean what do you have, common sense?

NATO members certainly won't go in a war decided by Trump alone on Twitter. I don't know for Australia, but we are not there yet. For the time being, the international community is trying to cool things down, and Trump won't have congress approval. And Soleimani fought Daesh so I have a hard time understanding Trump's logic.

Never mind that until very recently, Soleimani was literally our ally in the fight against ISIS and that's why he was so beloved by his people, and when he was killed, he was on a peace mission to reduce tensions between Iran and Saudi-Arabia. Also, the same intelligence agencies that claimed that Soleimani was allegedly planning an attack on the US, are the agencies that lied to us at every step of the way during the war in Afghanistan, as we learned on that report by the New York Times a few weeks ago, and no evidence to of the such claims have never been presented to anybody.
To be honest neither Soliemoni nor Iran were ever US allies, they just happen to have a shared enemy whom they hate at least as much as the USA. Basically Iran and the USA stayed out of each-other's way while fighting ISIS, there wasn't any coordination or formal cooperation beyond that.
We fought with Russia against the Nazis and the long cold war followed including a very tense Cuban Missile Crises in 1962. We fought and destroyed the Germans and Japanese in WW2 and they are our allies today. What point are you making that hasn't been made before?
me too. unless you consider that they just attacked our embassy in another country so it wouldn't be so hard to imagine that there might be more to come.

Use of the phrases "imminent attack" and "caught him in the act" would need to be substantiated by at least two sources if used in press reports of reputable newspapers. Trump should have a lot more than that as an explanation to escape a charge of murder if he has done the act to avoid impeachment.

In Iraq, surrounded by Iraqis whose govt has asked for you to leave, and a president sitting safe thousands of miles away, letting his ego make decisions that could get you killed.

Isnt an attack on a soverign nation or its personnel (which a soldier, Soleimani was) a warcrime in itself due to being a military attack without declaration of war ?
Trump doesn't care about the law, and to be blunt, to the Iraqis, the illegality of it isn't even the main point either. Hospitality is a big thing there, and Soleimani (whether we like him or not) was respected, and had previously helped negotiate truces between different militias and the Iraqi army. The Prime Minister of Iraq said he'd invited Soleimani to Iraq to try calm things once more. For the US, then to kill the guy, who was a guest, at the request of the country's leader is a huge blunder, and will be taken as a huge insult to Iraqi sovereignty. The parliament voting to ask US troops to leave is not that big a surprise in that context. Trouble is, a lot of news outlets in the US won't mention that context.

January 3: memes about a pluage
Australia has actually been on fire since late October last year. It just didn't get major recognition until now.
There is no world war though and there won't be any time soon, nothing but scare mongering from snowflakes.
Not surprised a lot of Americans talking about war like its some kind of a game or normal thing,they never lived in war conditions.I can tell you i wish no human being something like that,ever.
That's because The US is a better country than yours even with the craziness, better morals, better economy, better president than most etc.. Truth hurts I know. I'm an immigrant myself who also lived in war conditions and had to fight communist. But now a proud US citizen also US Army Vet , and with this great economy and thanks to God, I was able to get a house with 1.6 acres and a landscape business which I'm running myself. I'm a living proof of the American dream. Is easy to talk shait about the US when that's the only thing you can do.

Yeah, most of us watched Seth play those clips too.
Retaliation?????....where was the "retaliation" for the service member, and 2 contractors, killed in a terror attack, in Kenya, 2 days ago? Further proof that Agent Orange Adolf Twittler didn't order that attack on the Iranian General because of some embassy attack.
@901bluefox Oh god, are you serious? The "embassy was attacked"? That's a funny way of describing an angry protesting rioting mob. List the name of even ONE person who died in this "attack" of yours, I'll be waiting right here. When you're done listing out all the people who died (hint hint, it was ZERO), then explain to me how killing the head of another country's army is the appropriate and proportional response.
First of all, you should be aware that not everyone on the internet is from the US, so you can keep your narrow-minded binary rhetoric to yourself. You won't be able to catalogue my political or ethical baseline in your preciously simple dems vs reps black and white narrative.
Secondly, the civilized part of the world flips our shit because Trump is a senile egomaniac and a pathological liar that doesn't even understand the limitations of his powers as the POTUS and sidestepping the constitutional checks and his own intelligence apparatus.
Thirdly, a POTUS is openly and repeatedly threatening with actions that constitute warcrimes, yet the "leftists" are rabid. Sure honey, whatever gets you hard.
I can only assume you're going to be standing as rigidly at attention when the roll call comes in to send fresh bodies to yet another decades worth of "peace-keeping" operations in the Middle East that the US can't even afford to finance.
@901bluefox and they attacked the embassy because the US bombed various sites in Syria.

"It's worth remembering that Hitler was actually an incompetent, lazy egomaniac and his government was an absolute clown show.
In fact, this may even have helped his rise to power, as he was consistently underestimated by the German elite. Before he became chancellor, many of his opponents had dismissed him as a joke for his crude speeches and tacky rallies. Even after elections had made the Nazis the largest party in the Reichstag, people still kept thinking that Hitler was an easy mark, a blustering idiot who could easily be controlled by smart people.
Why did the elites of Germany so consistently underestimate Hitler? Possibly because they weren't actually wrong in their assessment of his competency-they just failed to realise that this wasn't enough to stand in the way of his ambition. As it would turn out, Hitler was really bad at running a government. As his own press chief Otto Dietrich later wrote in his memoir The Hitler I Knew, "In the twelve years of his rule in Germany Hitler produced the biggest confusion in government that has ever existed in a civilized state."
His government was constantly in chaos, with officials having no idea what he wanted them to do, and nobody was entirely clear who was actually in charge of what. He procrastinated wildly when asked to make difficult decisions, and would often end up relying on gut feeling, leaving even close allies in the dark about his plans. His "unreliability had those who worked with him pulling out their hair," as his confidant Ernst Hanfstaengl later wrote in his memoir Zwischen Weißem und Braunem Haus. This meant that rather than carrying out the duties of state, they spent most of their time in-fighting and back-stabbing each other in an attempt to either win his approval or avoid his attention altogether, depending on what mood he was in that day.
There's a bit of an argument among historians about whether this was a deliberate ploy on Hitler's part to get his own way, or whether he was just really, really bad at being in charge of stuff. Dietrich himself came down on the side of it being a cunning tactic to sow division and chaos-and it's undeniable that he was very effective at that. But when you look at Hitler's personal habits, it's hard to shake the feeling that it was just a natural result of putting a workshy narcissist in charge of a country.
Hitler was incredibly lazy. According to his aide Fritz Wiedemann, even when he was in Berlin he wouldn't get out of bed until after 11 a.m., and wouldn't do much before lunch other than read what the newspapers had to say about him, the press cuttings being dutifully delivered to him by Dietrich.
He was obsessed with the media and celebrity, and often seems to have viewed himself through that lens. He once described himself as "the greatest actor in Europe," and wrote to a friend, "I believe my life is the greatest novel in world history." In many of his personal habits he came across as strange or even childish-he would have regular naps during the day, he would bite his fingernails at the dinner table, and he had a remarkably sweet tooth that led him to eat "prodigious amounts of cake" and "put so many lumps of sugar in his cup that there was hardly any room for the tea."
He was deeply insecure about his own lack of knowledge, preferring to either ignore information that contradicted his preconceptions, or to lash out at the expertise of others. He hated being laughed at, but enjoyed it when other people were the butt of the joke (he would perform mocking impressions of people he disliked). But he also craved the approval of those he disdained, and his mood would quickly improve if a newspaper wrote something complimentary about him.
Little of this was especially secret or unknown at the time. It's why so many people failed to take Hitler seriously until it was too late, dismissing him as merely a "half-mad rascal" or a "man with a beery vocal organ." In a sense, they weren't wrong. In another, much more important sense, they were as wrong as it's possible to get.
Hitler's personal failings didn't stop him having an uncanny instinct for political rhetoric that would gain mass appeal, and it turns out you don't actually need to have a particularly competent or functional government to do terrible things.
We tend to assume that when something awful happens there must have been some great controlling intelligence behind it. It's understandable: how could things have gone so wrong, we think, if there wasn't an evil genius pulling the strings? The downside of this is that we tend to assume that if we can't immediately spot an evil genius, then we can all chill out a bit because everything will be fine.
But history suggests that's a mistake, and it's one that we make over and over again. Many of the worst man-made events that ever occurred were not the product of evil geniuses. Instead they were the product of a parade of idiots and lunatics, incoherently flailing their way through events, helped along the way by overconfident people who thought they could control them."

I encourage you to submit this as opinion to publications where it can be more widely read. Really nice summary of an important and misunderstood aspect of this situation. Thank you.
I can't believe that Americans are not able to see the similarity..... but i suppose that's the outcome of a school system that is raising historical and geographical morons......
Thank you for sharing this-a sobering reminder that as we continue to laugh, Trump and the GOP continue to destroy our democracy and the rest of the world along with it. Who is the real buffoon here?
thank you, really interesting, I didn´t know that and I am German, and it is really really frightening, as you can put in Mr. Trump at any of this passages without difficulty.... is this real information about Mr Hitler or a little Propaganda to open up the eyes of the Trump supporters?

The Hebrew Widow Yes. That’s The Clintons in a nutshell. Good observation.
As an Aussie I love our US friends. Without you coming when we needed you we couldn't survived WWII. However, we followed the USA into Vietnam which was a disaster. We then followed into Afghanistan and that also turned into a long quagmire. And we were also one of the few nations to follow into Iraq to get rid of Saddam, which also just created disaster after disaster. If President Trump creates another unnecessary Middle-Eastern war for his own ego... I hope our leaders pull back from the US alliance until a more stable person becomes president of the USA once more.
@Adam Brady Rupert Murdoch wouldn't be happy if Canberra didn't jump when he said jump.
Don’t you realize that going to war with and bombing the crap out of Iran is the only way to fight the horrific fires ravaging your country? I mean what do you have, common sense?

NATO members certainly won't go in a war decided by Trump alone on Twitter. I don't know for Australia, but we are not there yet. For the time being, the international community is trying to cool things down, and Trump won't have congress approval. And Soleimani fought Daesh so I have a hard time understanding Trump's logic. His asked his counsellors : Can we go at war without releasing too much CO2 ? Yes, mr president, if we use nuclear weapons, absolutly !

Never mind that until very recently, Soleimani was literally our ally in the fight against ISIS and that's why he was so beloved by his people, and when he was killed, he was on a peace mission to reduce tensions between Iran and Saudi-Arabia. Also, the same intelligence agencies that claimed that Soleimani was allegedly planning an attack on the US, are the agencies that lied to us at every step of the way during the war in Afghanistan, as we learned on that report by the New York Times a few weeks ago, and no evidence to of the such claims have never been presented to anybody.
To be honest neither Soliemoni nor Iran were ever US allies, they just happen to have a shared enemy whom they hate at least as much as the USA. Basically Iran and the USA stayed out of each-other's way while fighting ISIS, there wasn't any coordination or formal cooperation beyond that.
You better male go sit down, u must resent you mama

@Snork Town That's the most brain dead way of looking at it. We can have stupid culture and law. At the end of day you want to make the RIGHT decision. Was it a good idea to have given him the option?. Of course fucking not.
To understand Trump, just do what you know he would hate.
@Snork Town no, it would not be treason. "Treason" is working for the enemy. Not killing someone because it would cause way worse problems than it would solve is not working for the enemy, it's being smart. Giving Israeli intelligence to Russia is way closer to treason.
Those generals that worked with him need to be held accountable by Congress. None of this makes sense and they are required to make sense!
@Evil Rev That's a pretty evil comment, Evil. They don't hate pre-US 15th century "America" but they are dedicated to the post "American" RIGHTS and LAWS as instituted by the founding fathers just like every other true patriot. The senate circumvents this as does the president. If you are in the US,. you need to get onboard.

And that way he can kill more of our people and their own people. Iranians that live here are very happy about this, because they know how it is over there.

As I spit my coffee at the monitor.
This is my favorite comment on this video because it's true.
Use of the phrases "imminent attack" and "caught him in the act" would need to be substantiated by at least two sources if used in press reports of reputable newspapers. Trump should have a lot more than that as an explanation to escape a charge of murder if he has done the act to avoid impeachment.

Hamed Hosseini Agreed it’s sad that people actually want war. I have a lot friends in the military. I don’t want to see anything happen to them.
It must suck to be one of the troops on the base where the drone was launched from. In Iraq, surrounded by Iraqis whose govt has asked for you to leave, and a president sitting safe thousands of miles away, letting his ego make decisions that could get you killed. I bet the hangars for the drones are more resistant to incoming fire than the barracks for the troops.
Agreed

We've also gone back to the McCarthy era. The similarities are uncanny except for one dangerously important thing. McCarthy was a Senator.

I wonder if Trump realises that the bounty on his head will follow him even after he leaves office. I hope he likes his travel conditions and restrictions in the future and as for his children they are now on the board for the Iranians
he already knows his head is marked. he doesn't trust the secret service enough and has his own private security team
The guy we killed rose to prominence due to our operation in Afghanistan, wait why does that sound familiar?
He has his current position due to waging war against Isis, wait why is that against our interest?
No wonder we deny a visa to their diplomat. Wouldn't want them raising that with the UN

Isnt an attack on a soverign nation or its personnel (which a soldier, Soleimani was) a warcrime in itself due to being a military attack without declaration of war ?
Trump doesn't care about the law, and to be blunt, to the Iraqis, the illegality of it isn't even the main point either. Hospitality is a big thing there, and Soleimani (whether we like him or not) was respected, and had previously helped negotiate truces between different militias and the Iraqi army. The Prime Minister of Iraq said he'd invited Soleimani to Iraq to try calm things once more. For the US, then to kill the guy, who was a guest, at the request of the country's leader is a huge blunder, and will be taken as a huge insult to Iraqi sovereignty. The parliament voting to ask US troops to leave is not that big a surprise in that context. Trouble is, a lot of news outlets in the US won't mention that context.
@@jimbobeire We basically dishonored Iraq,who was hosting him under diplomatic passport to talk peace with Iran and Saudi Arabia!
