IRAN CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR AIR CRASH

This thread went off the rails quickly

 

Hello .
I live in iran and I'm here to say that they killed more than 1500 people in Demonstration alomost 2 week before the crash.
and many people are in prison. One of the most terrifying prison.
If you live in iran you will forgot all you believe.
And when they shot the plane, the hide that for 3 days and feel no regret and call that humanity mistake.

 

And sorry if you find any mistake in my text because my English in not very good.

 

Do you approve of Trump killing soleimani or do you think that was a big mistake?

 

In my opinion he did the right thing soleimani has killed many American and if he didn't killed him he may kill many American.
In iran some people say soleimani was a hero and legend but they hate the government in my opinion these people are fool because soleimani was a big supporter of government and he was a killer and he was a terrorist. Soleimani never care about his people .

 

The UN is a nice place for Greta Thornurg to read a speech her dad wrote. They have many long winded discussions there and take lots of nice votes on strongly worded resolutions.

Qasem Soleimani would not show up to a trial at the Hauge. I think it’s awesome they avoided hitting a symbolic target. They killed the people who deserved it, not a “military installation” that would have been full of normal dudes trying to make a living.

 

Yeah, I agree with this. Some people act like it was a mistake to kill the top man but in reality the mistake would have been killing all the normal guys on a military base.

 

For me the problem is that the US set a precedent. So what happens when Iran for instance uses a drone to shoot some military guy in Saudi Arabia? Is that now also allowed? And if they shoot an american general?

 

They have already killed hundreds of our troops. If they want to escalate it further you have to roll tanks after this pay back, you have to roll tanks.

There are lots of great people in Iran. With a little help that government will topple. They know this. That’s why they don’t want to escalate.

If the faction groups want to keep doing terrorist things it keeps escalating. If they keep pushing it we can burn eventually those neighborhoods burn and the fields get salted. I think terror groups know this and try to do just enough to get terms in negotiations.

It’s time to change the rules of the game. Terrorism earns the terrorist leader a grave, not favorable negotiating terms. Never reward bad behavior unless you want to see it repeated.

 

Speaking of logic I see a nice straw man hiding in there.

I fully support killing any leader who orders a terror attack on any American citizen. Anywhere in the world is fine with me.

I’d rather see US resources stopping the next genocide in Africa than spending money on the UN.

Isolationism with a few strong alliances seems like a better approach to me. Most of the traditional allies try to wage economic war and undermine US policy anyway. Why pretend?

 

Sorry, I may have missed that one in the news. When was that exactly?

 

Lot’s of the IEDs that killed US soldiers in Iraq came from Iran. It’s not a secret.

This is from Military Times, just from a 2 second Google search.

The Pentagon is upping the official estimate on the number of U.S. troops in Iraq who were killed by Iranian-backed militias, now putting that number at at least 603.

Officials previously said that Iran was linked to the deaths of roughly 500 troops.

That means roughly one in every six American combat fatalities in Iraq were attributable to Iran.

The deaths are attributed to proxies sponsored by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — Iran’s elite military force that protects the regime from internal and external threats.

“During Operation Iraqi Freedom, DoD assessed that at least 603 U.S. personnel deaths in Iraq were the result of Iran-backed militants,” Navy Cmdr. Sean Robertson, a Pentagon spokesman, said in an email.

“These casualties were the result of explosively formed penetrators (EFP), other improvised explosive devices (IED), improvised rocket-assisted munitions (IRAM), rockets, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades (RPG), small-arms, sniper, and other attacks in Iraq," Robertson said.

The Pentagon did not provide Military Times with the new report to independently assess.
