alum93 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 The drum beat is getting louder unfortunately. Here is a good opinion piece on why Trump shouldn't be trusted. https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/16/opinions/donald-trump-iran-problem-distrust-intelligence-vinograd/index.html Because he questions the intelligence community's analysis on everything that doesn't align with his personal agenda, he may be leading by example on Iran. In fact, Trump has called previous assessments on Iran "naive," but this time around, when their assessments match his personal views -- and desire to take decisive action against Iran -- he now trusts the intelligence community and expects everyone else to do so, too. When it comes to sowing mistrust in the intelligence community, Trump's made his bed. But lying in it may be more uncomfortable than he anticipated.

That's just one of about 4-5 where he said that Obama would strike Iran in order to get reelected. There's also one where he said that Obama should have taken a drone out that Iran shot down and took possession of back in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wreckage is reportedly 20 miles off the coast of Iran. The RQ-4 can go nearly 400 mph - so it could have covered 20 miles in 3 minutes. It would have taken about 2 minutes for the drone to fall from 55,000 feet to the ground after being hit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Pompeo, they're both idiots...we've got Lindsey Graham and Felcher McCain's poltergeist probably cheering it on too. We have all of those to blame for not "fully" leaving Syria.

Our drone was in international airspace. Would you have been okay with it had they shot down a jet that was in international airspace? Your TDS has reached pathological levels. What a phucking idiot.

Would you have been okay with it had they shot down a jet that was in international airspace? Your TDS has reached pathological levels. It wasn't a jet. Obviously that would have made a difference. It isn't worth starting WW3 over an unmanned drone. And 406 doesn't have TDS. Far from it. He's just not not down with starting a war with the Persians over a drone. And neither am I. So if that makes me have TDS too, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
