    I hope Iran doesn't kill anymore innocent people for Trumps sake.

    With the way Harden is shooting lately, there's no way he'd hit that plane.

    Ok, I went back here's your foundational post in this thread. Your best opportunity to make a well reasoned post stating your position.

    As I said before, when you do things like assassinate another countries top military commander, there are unforeseen consequences.
    - admonishment of Trump
    Just yesterday someone was saying how Trump's decision turned out to have no collateral damage or effects.
    - admonishment of Trump
    Now there are nearly 200 people dead that otherwise would not be dead.
    - Admonishment of Trump

    No admonishment of Iran at all.



    I've read your other posts. I think you managed to work in a sentence or two admonishing Iran but very much in a secondary way. Your posts in this thread are obviously overwhelmingly critical of Trumps role. So much so even @JuanValdez calls you out.

    Iran shot down this plane. They deserves the lions share of the blame.

    Carry on with your well balanced criticism though.

    About what I expected from you. Purposely leaving out where I repeatedly said that there is blame on both President Trump and leaders of Iran. That is your perogative.

    Shall we start quoting every random white nationalist on social media as representative of the right?

    I represented everything completely accurately. Quote and defend yourself if you’d like. The overwhelming criticism of one side is obvious on its face. So much even well regarded posters noticed it. To insinuate I’m misrepresenting your comments in here is laughable.

    Do you not see how your are misrepresenting the left by using one person as the voice? It's pretty disingenuous of you.

    I'm not misrepresenting anyone or anything and I'm not using any one person to "represent" anyone or anything. I never said anything about "the left" . . . .

    This accident highlights the risk of military confrontation.

    If the Iranian gov screwed up differently and caused dozen of American casualties or the US gov screwed up and caused dozen of Iranian casualties, where do we think we would be now? (We still do not what Iran might still plan to do through their proxies.)

    A few Congressional Republican was livid yesterday that no details were provided by the Admin on why they took the action at the time. Until they do and there were solid reasons for their action, the default stands - Trump was reckless and so far, he (and we) lucked out that the fallout hasn't been worse.

    It's your trolling. Boring.

    There's little question the airliner is an unintended consequence of Trump's assassination. Secondarily, when the US or Israel assassinates someone it's not terrorism but when an adversary does likewise it is terrorism. It's a dumbass double standard and the epitome of might makes right foreign policy. I'm sure you can find some stupid editorials on that.
