The ultimate taunt. Will the US bitch-slap Iran over something that does not involve the loss of life? How does the US retaliate? Political correctness on trial.

Except the drone was over international waters.

Should a country just allow any foreign government to invade its airspace? We can't legitimately start a war because they were defending their territory.


Didn't Russia invade our air space recently? We didn't shoot it down. We intercepted them and escorted them out.
We aren't going to war over a drone being shot down.

Yes it was in international waters. This particular drone has no stealth tech and slow. We obviously would not be using it to fly in their airspace. The camera tech can see fine from the gulf.

Since some of you think its fine for a rogue nation to shoot down anything that flies, perhaps you should reconsider your next Southwest flight from NO to Birmingham???

So Iran is falling on their sword. They are out of options and desperate from the effect of sanctions. Their religion (cult) leaves them no options. This is a last-ditch maneuver. How do they now justify this to the rest of the world? Do they simply say the drone was in their airspace and dare everybody else to prove them wrong? Lying and deception is a way of life.

Bolton would.

My bet is on us begging them to give us news clips to garner public support

After the las 16-18 years of conflicts in the Middle East. The quagmire in Afghanistan, results of Iraq, Libya, Syria and general failures at the expense of trillions I’m truly amazed that any Americans are beating the drums of war with Iran. Some folks just never learn.

You're comparing a drone to a commercial airliner with hundreds of people. We're not going to war with Iran over a drone

That is exactly what they're doing.

Their populace will believe it, and the rest of the useful idiots across the globe will also believe it because the US is bad because of Orange Man.

Therefore, they come in peace to release rose petals. This would also apply to NK. Bolton would be wrong since both have demonstrated they are kind and benevolent nations. What does he know.

What does this statement have to do with the fact the drone was shot down in international airspace and Iran is lying about it to garner support?
