    Same goes for killing Khamenei, there’s always someone next in line. It doesn’t mean killing world leaders has no effect…

    Don’t you realize how big it would be if Iran manages to kill Trump? It would mean the US President is not untouchable. No foreign actor has yet killed a US president.

      If it is personal, they can have him in 2 years. Even a former President would be a historical event.

      He likes to revoke the SS protection from his political rivals, a dangerous precedent for him…

      Yeah but it’s like 9/11, all it will do is allow even crazier nutjobs to feel vindicated and make things even worse.
