And the 6 that died in the same day was a midair collision, not Iranian military action that shot them down.

Are you unfamiliar with his writings and what he is known for? You vote? How sweet. Here's a lolly pop. Your vote is exactly equal to those of the 54% or so of Americans who read below a 6th grade level. 20% are functionally illiterate. The Kagan Clan understands how power and influence works. As does the Kristol clan. (Despise them both. But I don't understand power or influence either, so I guess this is what we get) |

By the way, “they” needs to be a distinction between the military of Iran, versus civilian airliner who has nothing to do with the nonsense going on in the SOH.
The FAA would have closed any such airspace to US aircraft.

The Americans had access to flight schedule pamphlets, a screen that showed the airplane clearly climbing away at 250 knots, not diving. And no, they weren’t monitoring 121.5. Bandar Abbas to Dubai is a short flight. Radio #2 would have have been busy getting weather, company ops, in range, etc. Not to mention, the F14 was not a carrier/destroyer attack aircraft with how they had them equipped.

But “fog of war” are some (not all) of a certain type of person I see in my CCW class. The ones who are sprung and ready, literally looking for a reason to shoot and legally kill someone.

Iran increased its support for DA terrorism as well as through its proxies following the passage of the JCPOA. This isn’t a secret.

They literally flew right into it. The IR government let them do it. No sympathy.
The FAA would have closed any such airspace to US aircraft. And “they” did not know of the escalation down there. Chasing down small boats against orders is not something that was anticipated. Monday morning QB is easy, especially when you have the enemy talking points and no combat experience and no military experience. Are we talking about a road-raging redneck in a pickup truck? Or geoplitical affairs? |

Yes CA politicians absolutely created a fuel shortage (all the ones we care about gas, diesel, kerosene).
And now they get to blame it on DJT, just in time for the midterms. Not sure why he didn't let them lie in the bed they made for a while and do Iran after midterms :confused: It actually is Trumps fault my dude. Anyone who cannot see that truly needs to turn off Fox. |

Are you unfamiliar with his writings and what he is known for? https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...-iraq-war.html Just as an example of one easily findable article. Weird, his wiki seems to omit such things..... |

It ended in 2018. So what are you referring to? “Iran attacks via proxies” is a trending term on podcasts and right wing media. Weird how that works.
