From CNN, “Iran admitted Saturday that it mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet, blaming human error and ‘US adventurism’ for the crash that left 176 people dead.” I don’t think “US adventurism” is the fault of a moronic Iran that failed to shut down air traffic while it launched a missile attack on another country. How f***ing stupid does one have to be to forget to do this? I suppose trump stupid. It drives me absolutely G.D. crazy when people misplace blame. There is a huge f***ing difference between direct cause and effect and antecedents. Escalating tension between the U.S. and Iran is the antecedent to the situation, but Iran allowing commercial flights to continue while they let missiles fly is just pure incompetence. Whatever happened to their claim that is was “scientifically impossible” for the plane to have been blown out of the sky by Iran? F*** me! I hope these aren’t the same scientists that are working on their nuclear program! Or they really will poke an eye out!
Axios said it well, “Iran lied about the mass murder of 176 people because a trigger-happy idiot shot down a civilian Ukrainian plane taking off from Tehran. The regime looks like dishonest incompetents on the global stage.”
