Not only did he assassinate one of Iran's top generals while he was in Iraq, our nominal ally, on invitation from their government (forget why exactly he was there) without telling Iraq any of this was going to happen, but he was also fully ready to go to war with Iran and had to be talked down by his generals. That was how 2020 started, although it very quickly got overshadowed by other world events. But I remember the chapo boys saying "this is one of those events where in a decade documents will get declassified and we'll see how close we were to starting WW3 in January 2020."
