Exclusive: Americans say Soleimani's killing made US less safe, Trump 'reckless' on Iran

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/01/09/killing-soleimani-made-us-less-safe-trump-reckless-iran-poll/2835962001/

A majority of those surveyed, by 52%-34%, called Trump's behavior with Iran "reckless."

Americans were divided on the wisdom of the drone strike at the Baghdad airport last week that killed Soleimani and others: 42% supported it, 33% opposed it; 25% said they didn't know what to think. Republicans were much more supportive than Democrats; independents were almost evenly split.

But there was overwhelming agreement – in each case by more than 6-1 – that the attack made it more likely Iran would strike American interests in the Middle East (69%), that there would be terrorist attacks on the American homeland (63%), and that the United States and Iran would go to war with each other (62%).

By 52%-8%, those polled said the attack made it more likely that Iran would develop nuclear weapons.

belief System thinks the Middle East is some back assward part of the World. What we know and understand about Mathematics,Sciences and Geography sure as hell did not come from Alabama. It all derived from the Mid East.

Yes,the Iranians most likely will develop uses for Uranium. And beating the crap out of them will not change that.

Even an orangutan could have figured it out. Trump looks like one but orangutans are smarter.
