Don’t cut yourself on all that edge. | It’s pathetic some of the fucktards on this forum start blaming Trump because of their triggered political views. I didn’t bring up the Trump thing but I was waiting for one of the libtards to start being idiots.

You think it's some type of coincidence that this happened after trump killed soleimani, threatened to bomb 52 cultural sites, and Iran fired missiles at a US base?

watch the video. Also David Frum is a conservative. Quote: |
While Iran appears to have shot down Flight 752, U.S. President Donald Trump helped create the context of escalation in the region, says David Frum of The Atlantic.

suggesting the POTUS caused disability in the region in recent weeks, there seems to be a good argument for that
stretching it out to say the main reason Soleimani was killed was to occupy Americans with anything but the impeachment, oh ok thanks internet that seems legit...might as well suggest Trudeau to do every press conference in black face as if things arent divided enough as is
really looking forward to hearing about Trump tied into every world event 20 times a day for another 5 years

| That's exactly what trump suggested when Obama was in power.
If you didn't see it the first time I will post it again. 
So you either believe trump that a president would attack Iran to save face or you are saying trump is a nutcase conspiracy theorist. Pick one.

CEO of a multi-billion dollar company. Quote:
Maple Leaf Foods Inc Chief Executive Officer Michael McCain criticized the U.S. government for escalating tensions in the Middle East, after an Iranian missile accidentally shot down a Ukrainian airliner killing 176 people onboard, including an employee’s family.
“A MLF colleague of mine lost his wife and family this week to a needless, irresponsible series of events in Iran. U.S. government leaders unconstrained by checks/balances, concocted an ill-conceived plan to divert focus from political woes,” McCain said in a tweet posted on the company’s Twitter account on Sunday.

Iranian people have been fighting this regime in the streets since what, November? Hundreds dead, thousands wounded, 10's of thousands improsioned, among a total internet blackout... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/01/w...ts-deaths.html
America supports them by killing one of the generals responsible for all these deaths, and suddenly people are talking about WW3, and Trump doing this to somehow make himself get re-elected.
I wonder how different reactions would be if it was Obama in office doing the exact same thing. 
I know Trump is a buffoon but people get way too caught up on him instead of stuff that matters.
(also IMHO, if Hilary had won, WW3 would have happened by now anyway lol)
(and also IMHO, Biden will bring us to war faster than a re-elected Trump would)
(Trump is not benign, but he is not a warmonger in the way that the establishment is (both dems and reps included))

The Iranian people have renewed protests against their government in the wake of this attack and its good to see.
Meanwhile #NancyPelosiFakeNews is trending because the military industrial complex funded establishment Dems are downplaying these protests as it conflicts with Orange Man Bad.

It is NOT Donald Trumps fault that an Iranian AA crew cannot do basic IFF and interpret basic radar data and not tell the difference between a cruise missile (very small) and a 737-800 (very big) while sitting in the departure path of their busiest airport. It's absolutely asinine to blame American leadership for them pulling the trigger on innocent holiday travelers

13 governments signed the Iran nuclear deal only one broke the contract and that was because trump did not like the fact Obama's name was on it.

Plus based on contact's speed, bearing and elevation it's normally distinguishable. Not to mention even the missile's flight profile in its terminal phase.

I know Trump is a buffoon but people get way too caught up on him instead of stuff that matters. | The protest you wrote about has not been continuing since November. yes, there were protests after the fuel price jump in Mid November, some people were killed (no official count unfortunately), lasted about a week, same time the internet access was limited. 10s of thousands imprisoned? Highly doubt it.
there was another protest couple days ago after Iran admitted fault on shooting the plane down. Few people were arrested in front of their university, no shooting thankfully this time..
Trump killed the general in support of the Iranian people? Oh please.
U.S. had been planning to kill that general since at least 7 months ago. It's amazing how people relate everything to each other without much knowledge of what's actually going on in the region. And what's more amazing is that people claim that Trump cares about Iranian people... he doesn't.
When Trump had the chance to retaliate after U.S. bases were hit by Iranian missiles he comes out and tweets "All is well" as if stock market had a minor crash or something. Guy is a fucking joke, really. He's not after changing the regime in Iran, hence he won't do anything for the Iranian people, therefore he can shut up sending tweets and making false claims about supporting the people.

From a new interview with Justin Trudeau. https://globalnews.ca/news/6404191/j...ne-crash-2020/ Quote:
“If there were no tensions, if there was no escalation recently in the region, those Canadians would be right now home with their families,” said Trudeau.
“This is something that happens when you have conflict and war. Innocents bear the brunt of it and it is a reminder why all of us need to work so hard on de-escalation, moving forward to reduce tensions and find a pathway that doesn’t involve further conflict and killing.”
