Time to talk to your dealer, rouge. That dope ain't straight.
Objectively, the SA-15 battery (reportedly), would not have been deployed were it not for a credible threat (including war crimes) from Trump, who had already ordered two assassinations of Iranian nationals. Subjectively, the consequences of that threat — Iran shooting down a Ukrainian flight using a Russian missile system — were wildly fortunate for Trump, an Iranian goal deflection of historic proportion.
All y'all Trump apologists should dance that jig out of your system and go home.
Because at the end of the day, our state department is still telling all Americans to leave Iraq immediately (without approaching our embassy), the Iraqi parliament is calling for all of our troops to leave, Soleimani has been replaced by his deputy, and the guy who accomplished all this is still saying it made us safer.
If it weren't for that 737, Iran would be spiking in the endzone.

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

It looks like at least some Iranians are tired of having been lied to and, risking arrest and execution, are demanding that Khamenei resign.

Alrighty then!
The most baffling thing in all of this is why Iran didn't ground all civilian flights during combat operations.Last edited by Mountain Man; 01-11-2020, 12:23 PM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by rogue06 View Post
Ze'ev Chafets, who is conservative so he can be safely dismissed by star and his ilk, has reported that government officials were going door-to-door asking the residents if they would be attending the funeral. If you don't want to add to the number of dead or imprisoned you can guess what the result was.
