Iran admits they shot down the Ukrainian airliner

Nope as a consequence of them firing missles at bases where US military members are and thinking, based on Trumps actions, they would be retaliated against.

The action of the impeached president Trump in authorising the assassination has lead directly to the downing of the aeroplane.

Downed droan, attack on our embasy

We should do nothing but walk around with our tails between our legs.

Don’t think so.

Who said that is what you should do? Certainly not me.

So the US needed to do something correct?

And when I find an article again, I’m not meaning to derail your fire thread in OTB . . . but I’ll just have a question on something . . .

and it’s only a controversy because of the fires there . . . . otherwise I don’t thank anyone would have batted an eye.

No it was because Iran fired a missile at a Ukraine jet leaving their airport. As a few people posted earlier we did the same horrible incident to and Iranian airliner in the 80’s that was on us not them. Same here regardless of ones feeling for the president.

Assassinating a person who has from been reported as being asked to help de-escalate the tensions was not the correct action to take.

Maybe Iran can de-escalte things by not using proxies to go after US citizen’s and assets

GASP
concept huh?

Just going to point out that Iran was flying commercial airliners under unsafe conditions in both instances.

Yes the US did shoot down a commercial plane and I am glad that Iran is owning its mistake this time.

Time to move forward.

Nice of Iran to admit what everyone who doesn’t worship donkeys already knew. lol

Iran admitting this…doesn’t matter. Here’s my simple prediction…as everything begins to cool down, it will be settled that…it’s all Trump’s fault…period…and you’ll be able to ask any lib, from any country to confirm this.

That flights weren’t shut down during a time of high tension with expectations of retaliation was a recipe for disaster.

Remember when the US fighter pilot cut a tram car cable? I forget where it was…maybe Italy?

So rare to see this fact confirmed here. It was Iranian money that was returned.

I said it was there assets back then. Known fact. Many ignored. However the courts hadn’t completely ruled the money needed to be returned. Obama took that upon himself, did it in cash. Funded ongoing terrorist acts by Iran. That’s all on Obama.
