Were we in the Middle East in 1979? They've been chanting their islamo-nazi 'Death to America' for decades. If we weren't there, they'd still be nutjob islamo-nazis seeking a nuke to drop on your head.
Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist. Soleimani was an Iranian General who was a terrorists. Our government has been watching this guy for decades. Do some research and you'll find out why he was never 'taken out' before. What a better time than to try to take attention off the donald's impeachment. It's called WAG THE DOG.
Well they have been there for 5,000 years. You should be saying my sincerest regret and sympathy to all Iranians, since the passengers were part of the Iranian diaspora. It was a good reason for Iran's enemies to knock it down - that is if they're psychopaths and have no sense of right or wrong, but not a good reason for Iran to do so. Evil is as evil does.
A terrorist is one who terrorizes civilians and non combatants. Under that definition Soleimani was not a terrorist, but we certainly are. I know of nothing that terrorizes people more than a bomb or missile.
Another Canadian who can't stop obsessing about the US and it's politics? I can't imagine being fascinated with Canadian politics except when your PM dresses up in funny costumes and make up.
You really shouldn't tell anyone else what they should be saying. Please don't minimize the deaths of any civilians, it's a pretty low thing to be doing right now.
I was born and raised in Southern California. I live part of the year in Oregon, part in the U.S. .CANADIAN MODE ON One of these days America will need Canadian fresh water. If every American talked with the disrespect you do, I'd volunteer to turn off the tap. Heck, I'd pay for the honor of cutting you off. .CANADIAN MODE OFF I hate to think you're a fellow American.
176 people were on the Ukrainian plane. 82 of the victims were Iranians and more than 140 were Iranian nationals. This means that many had dual citizenship and were part of the Iranian diaspora. Do you really think an Iranian controller would give clearance to a Luftansa plane, but not to a plane carrying its own citizens? Isn't it more likely that this was a set up and the work of a psychopath who had no qualms about such things? In this video, a prankster asks Kolomoisky about the MI7 that was shot down in Ukraine. A drunk Ihor responds that they wanted to shoot down the Number 1 plane and made a mistake. I know that Vladimir Putin was returning from Brazil and was in the vicinity at the time, and that his plane is the same size and color as the MI7. Killing Vladimir Putin was probably the actual intent. Of course we don't know for sure. .
By the way, Ihor Kolomoisky is the owner of the Ukrainian International Airlines and is also an Israeli citizen, and works with Israeli Intelligence. The airline was supposedly going bankrupt, and the workers weren't being paid. It's assumed that the bankruptcy is merely creative accounting so as to blackmail the Ukrainian state. This might be why he's under investigation by the FBI. Destroying the airplane to collect the insurance, while at the same time demonizing Iran and killing Iranians, is something that would be just up his alley.
But I'm not a fellow American. I'm American and you're Canadian. So what if you were born in the US, if you take another country's citizenship, that's what you are. Just as an aside, considering your Trumpdates, I can't believe you actually think I was being disrespectful. At least relative to things you've said.
RIP Iran shoots a rocket at a passenger plane which just took of from Tehran? Come on, ask the Yanks, sometimes I wonder which mob is worse, the religious hardliners or those telling us it is all about our free world.... They are all fukked in their heads, if you ask me, reg.
Of course. We're their foreign devils. What we're doing they don't like ... supporting other Middle East countries resisting Iran from extending its influence. They're worried about us undermining their Islamic state.
You're right. I'm nothing like you. Who the hell are you to tell me what I am? You have no idea what you're talking about. The leader of the Canadian Conservative Party is a dual citizen. Senator Cruz was a Canadian, too, until recently. What you said about Canada is disgusting. They were right by our side in Afghanistan after 9-11. Right there. They didn't have to be with us.
Dual citizenship isn't making your case for me. The US doesn't recognize it and if other countries do, that's on them. If you are Canadian, you're Canadian. I'm curious why you found my comment about the PM "disgusting." Do you really think that was disgusting?
US officials say that it was being "tracked by Iranian radar." Any idea how the hell they could possibly know that?
Commercial aircraft are tracked worldwide, which is the same reason flightaware and other websites can give the data I posted. Probably they were alluding that since there is no doubt we had our satellites focused on Tehran, they saw the missile signatures and the airplane collide. They don't advertise tech like that.
The IFF tagging I guess makes them jittery operators of SA-15. My condolences to the Canadians and the rest for the passengers and crews.
