Sanctions maybe. I just don’t see Trudeau ramping up hostility in words or actions, which would give Trump a moral victory which he can’t do. Plus realistically he doesn’t want to get dragged into a regional conflict either. Wouldn’t be the first time a country has let a civilian airliner attack go.
Iran just admitted to shooting down the plane “unintentionally.” uhm, if you fired a surface to air missile at it, you did intend to shoot it down.
After spending the last 3 days scrambling to bury all the evidence, and calling every western country trying to investigate liars on their jew backing crusade against Islam. Good folks over there. Let's keep blaming the west, err the US every time something goes wrong.
Bill Burr yesterday: “War is just a super-rich person’s temper tantrum.” That sums it up simply and perfectly.
In order to outdo it’s own stupid, Iran arrested the UK Ambassador. He’s been released, but hey, why not just piss off another western country?
Well, he did incite the Iranian people to be upset over something as piddly as vaporizing a few dozen innocent people five miles up in the sky, did he not? I’m surprised they didn’t arrest everyone at the Canadian embassy just because they didn’t feel like hearing it. Once again: our cultures are not DIFFERENT. Our culture is better than theirs. Having a priest as the leader of your country is mine mentally stupid, these people shpuld be rebelling and rioting and smashing government buildings. They’ve had the election stolen from them again and again, it’s time to accept that the fact that you fell in with the wrong crowd for the past four decades.
Whoa, calm the fuck down there. Iranian people are subject to their shitty ass governments, same as the US and Canada. I don't think painting the CULTURE with a tar brush is the right move.
Agreed. There are some pretty inspirational videos making the rounds of the Iranian government painting US flags on the ground and stairs for people to walk on, but the people are respecting the US flag and walking around. They're actually giving shit to those that show the disrespect by walking on the flag.
Think of Iran as Persia and you’ll realize the depth of their culture. Great art, food, an emphasis on education, women’s rights actually exist. That country was hijacked by an extremist minority and hasn’t been able to overcome it.
That's actually really cool, thanks for sharing. I imagine if someone painted the Iranian flag on stairs in the US it wouldn't go so well. Might get bombed actually.
I don't know if you all remember, but it was Iran that kicked off Arab spring. Sadly, while the revolts eventually found success in some other places (like Tunisia) that wasn't the case for Iran.
So many WANT to overcome it. And they keep plain stealing it from them. They steal elections. They kill those who speak out against them. Love us, or else. Tehran is starting to see Hong Kong-style activity in the streets, who knows what sort of catalyst this latest calamity could be.
