    So it's looking more and more likely that the recent 737 plane crash in Tehran was the result of a missile strike.

    Fucking d'oh if so.

    The photo of the missile that was doing the rounds over the past couple of days (and suspected of being a hoax) matches one sold to iran and apparently in situ nearby.

    What is it with Russian missiles taking down civilian airliners?

    • I would imagine an overzealous missile operator made a horrific mistake. I doubt it was an intentional strikeGnash
    • But who knows. Zealots will zealotGnash
    • Oh, I don't for a second imagine it was intentional, if it was the case - hence the "fucking d'oh".Nairn
    • From what I can tell from the system though, it looks to be one that requires a human in the loop to reach the target, so someone's for the high jumpNairn

    Soleimani has fueled a lot of nasty conflicts and killed a lot of people, directly or indirectly, many of them American soldiers — though it's worth noting also that much of his recent effort has been dedicated to fighting ISIS (with great effectiveness, by all accounts) in a tacit uneasy alliance with U.S. forces.

    Yet even the worst of Soleimani's record pales in comparison with the most blood-drenched American warmongers. If Soleimani deserves condemnation for arming Iraqi insurgents, then George W. Bush and Dick Cheney deserve 10 times as much for starting the war in the first place. It was a pointless, illegal war of aggression sold on lies that obliterated Iraqi society and killed perhaps half a million people, almost all of them innocent civilians. (Our own Soleimani, General David Petraeus, was connected to the operation of Iraqi torture dungeons and paramilitary death squads during the fight against the insurgency.)

    If Soleimani deserves blame for helping Bashar al-Assad brutally defeat Syrian rebels, Henry Kissinger deserves 10 times as much for orchestrating the bombing slaughter of perhaps a quarter million Cambodians and paving the way for the Khmer Rouge genocide that killed 1.7 million people.

    If any accused war criminal at an airport is fair game, then there are a lot of people in D.C. and Northern Virginia who better start traveling by train or ship.

    Indeed, the Quds Force itself was originally created during the Iran-Iraq War, which was started by a heavily U.S.-backed Saddam Hussein in 1980. A million Iranians died in the grueling eight-year conflict. And the reason the Islamic Republic exists in the first place is because the United States and Britain toppled Iran's fledgling democracy in 1953 and installed a brutal dictator.

    It is not exactly hard to understand why Iran — like about every other country in the Middle East — keeps some brutal, hard people like Soleimani around. It's a violent, unstable neighborhood, and war is an unavoidable reality. And no country is more responsible for that fact than the United States.

    Chauvinist American commentators always presume America has the best intentions, and that the American military is composed of saintly warrior-poets. The reality is that the lumbering American colossus has unleashed a Thirty Years' War-level of violent chaos all around Iran for no good reason at all. We are ruled by a president who recently reversed the demotion of a guy turned in by his own fellow soldiers for war crimes — namely, gleefully murdering helpless prisoners, old men, and little girls for sport.

    so has Trump just lucked out with this? Iran phoned in their terrible revenge and called the whole thing quits in an attempt to pretend a trigger-happy army-bod didn't accidently shoot down a passenger plane?

    Unnecessary Bennnsplanation of the Day :

    Iran = Your crazy neighbour that is in a cult
    China = Your hermit neighbour who molests his children
    Russia = Your sketchy neighbour who beats his wife and is in shady businesses.

    Iran is your neighbour who operates a cult like religion out of their own house. They pray 7 times a day, keep their women in beekeeper suits and brainwash their children to believe that other neighbours are evil, democracy is an imperialist tool to destroy their profit (charles manson) and quality of life is over-rated as long as you worship the profit . Any child that expresses an independent thought is chained to to the basement or killed.

    Neighbours keep telling Iran to chill the fuck out. Let other voices in your family be heard. Stop worshiping a crazy man and stop being so controlling and obsessive. Learn to provide for your family and stop feeding them ideological nonsense to prevent them from having their own lives. A little wine will take the edge off. Take a page from your neighbour Isreal. They seem to be providing a decent living for their family even while living in the ghetto with Iran.

    China and Russia need all the friends they can get because they also authoritarian and abuse their family members. They don't want a see domino effect. Plus they get really cheap gasoline.

    You are the neighbour with the riffle who involuntarily signed up to be the sole volunteer in the neighbourhood crime watch because all other neighbours have turned a blind eye and sadly don't give a shit what happening in Mr. Mouhammad's household.

    It’s all a bit nuts really. We’ve been bombing the Middle East for years. Then giving them bombs to bomb each other. And now we’re still not happy so let’s have another war with them. All because they don't do what we want them to do.

    People that dont think Iran will do anything are morons. They are a far more formidable nation than 90s/2000s Iraq was, and we STILL have not actually won that Iraq war.

    The problem with wars in the middle east is that the mindset of the US being the true terrorists of the world is so widespread over there that when you get into a war with someone like Iraq or Iran, the war spreads far beyond their borders and becomes completely unwinnable. Its like Vietnam but spread over a much larger area, and many, many more millions of people against us than what Vietnam ever had.

    There is a damn good reason why past presidents refused to take this guy out. Everyone knew he was a bad guy, but this may very well head down a road that ultimately may costs 1000s of american soldiers lives, and cost us trillions of dollars, and could sink the world economy. Is one guy who has already been replaced worth all that? Fuck no. The guy that took his place is as much of a problem as he was, so really, we accomplished nothing positive.

    Iran is not going to be killing any American tonight, they need to put on a show, even their people know it's a show.

    They have shot "10s of rockets" at us and they better not hit anyone, else they will wake up tomorrow with no much left of their shitting air force and their lil mighty speedboat navy sunk.

    Someone was dumb enough to post here that Iran was formitable... Pfft, yeah right. Not when they need to draft 18 yr old Iranian boy poets.

    Iran actually has been hitting the USA for decades secretly, but PT ensured they wiill need to fight Iranian style, no more hiding behind IEDs and violent protests. Iran has to make a little show if it.

    But God help them if one American dies because we got a crazy President and we can all sleep good tonight knowing Trump is in the White House protecting us all.
