So if we cant trust them with basic anti-aircraft systems, why on Earth do they expect the world to trust them with a nuclear weapon?

The incompetence required to do something like this is astounding.

This really isn't a surprise.

Iran's hopes are pinned to the idea of getting everyone in the world to look at the US, and say 'That guy's an a-hole!'-- that's how they garner sympathy. When you have video footage of you shooting down the plane with a SAM, and deny it and stomp your feet, you instead look like a gaping a-hole. So, Iran is going to take their medicine over this one, and call the entire experience of the past few weeks a bitter lesson on how not to try to frick with the West.

Yes, everyone who has read a newspaper article about this incident or heard news reports or read any of the 1000s of online articles knows why. In fact it’s already been asked and answered in this thread.

I take it that these Canadians were expatriate Iranians?

How do you shoot a plane down by accident?

Did someone trip and their coffee cup hit the go button?

A stray missile?


I tried to tell my college girlfriend that this was all it was when she busted me. Just a missile gone astray. Unfortunately she didn't buy it!

How long until we find out one of the Ukrainian passengers were key to figuring out the Biden/Democrat money laundering scandal?
