Iraqis dancing in the streets following news that Soleimani is no more.

One year ago today, the U.S. military took out #Iran’s IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani, the world’s No. 1 terrorist.
Don't listen to MSM. He was a ruthless killer loathed by people in Iran & across the Mid-East.
Please watch to the
A family in #Iran danced in their home after hearing about the “terrorist Soleimani's” death while chanting “Death to the Dictator,” in reference to @Khamenei_ir.
Persian notes from inside Iran:
"We had a really joyous day after a very long time"
"Thank you, dear Trump"
"Long live Trump"
"Hats off to you, President Trump - From the people of Iran"

Not on MSM
Locals in northern #Syria marking the anniversary of Soleimani being killed by the U.S. military.
Soleimani led #Iran-backed militias in murdering, wounding and/or displacing millions of people. They also killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers.
Arguably the most horrific crime committed by #Iran’s regime & Qassem Soleimani outside of Iran was witnessed in #Syria. Soleimani led militias into massacring the Syrian people.
#Iran's embassy in Turkey was forced to cut short an online event in memory of Qassem #Soleimani when participants began shouting: “Iran The Murderer!”
Hatred of the mullahs' regime & Soliemani knows no borders.
And we all remember how #Iran’s dictator Khamenei wept at a ceremony for Soleimani, knowing his regime had suffered a strategic setback.
And you know who else was devastated?
"Mr. Trump killed my brother Qassem Soleimani."
Soleimani's #Iran-backed militias killed, wounded and/or displaced millions of people across the region.
They also killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers.

A year ago today, #Iran’s IRGC deliberately shot down Ukrainian flight #PS752, killing all 176 on board.
Regime officials have lied from day one & just recently blamed it on “U.S. adventurism.”
#PS752JUSTICE
My take:

Ukrainian forensics chief Alexander Ruvin suggested from evidence obtained that passengers on flight PS752 were out of their seats before two missiles hit the plane outside Tehran, capital of #Iran.

"And [yet] we saw the corpses of the dead lying on the ground, without seats…if the people were fastened, they would fall with their seats, as was the case with passengers of [shot-down] flight MH17 [in Ukraine]," he added.
WARNING-GRAPHIC
4)
The plane was downed on the same morning that Iran launched ballistic missiles targeting US forces in Iraq. Asked why didn’t officials clear the skies of passenger planes, one official said it would have revealed Iran’s intention to launch the attack.
5)
The Iranian side immediately bulldozed the site of the downed airplane, obviously to hide important evidence.
Even their UK ambassador @baeidinejad lied about this.

You can't magic away the vast distances involved. Clue: we fly in only 1/192th of our trade compared to the amount that arrives via sea
In 2016, the UK transported 484,000,000 tons of freight by sea, but just 2,511,000 tons by air (192x less than by sea). Therefore absurd to think of simply substituting air freight for sea freight (e.g. if we have to fly in food or medicines because of post-Brexit jams at ports)

But even if you invented a teleporter tomorrow, WTO terms are so bad, so stacked against us, that a no-deal Brexit will be a total economic disaster
Here's the truth about Brexit, the "punishment" some people claim the EU wants to inflict on us, the full horrific consequences of no deal, and the dangers lurking behind any deal we reach. Buckle in, it's pretty long. Better to be thorough than to leave anything out. 1/47

And while the Brexiteers fantasise, real jobs are being lost, investments are drying up, companies are moving assets to the EU27 or redomiciling. All already happened and happening right now, not in some mythical
Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

Of course, there are many, many myths that Brexiteers perpetuate that are total fiction. You've seen a couple of them already. The thread below busts a whole lot
