Iran

Recommended Posts

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.

Remember, Trump's own internal polling has him losing in key states.  

 

 

I read that Trump fired a bunch of people over these leaks.

So... do Bolton and Pompeo get their war now?

 

Over an unmanned drone?  I certainly hope not.

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.

Iran is saying it violated their airspace.  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.

He's been all about the "detanglement" from the Middle East...so it's possible. 

With Bolton in his ear you never know.  Hate that guy.

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.

I'm sure we'd be very comfortable having Iran sending spy drones in airspace near us...

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.

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.
