fuselage peppered with holes? Reminds me of:




(how MH17 was shot down with a Buk surface-to-air missile)

Think of it this way. As an example: some family and many people I have known. Ukraine as an example: After Obama's flexibility caused Russia to roll in and kill and take over (and U.S. progs got their nose in it in a corrupt NGO to control)

A lot of the young people of Ukraine moved to Paris, Canada, many places of refuge. They leave their family that are too old/stubborn to leave. They want to go HOME to visit them and certainly get married.

IOW's: yeah it is a shithole but it is home to many. They know the customs protocols to get in and out without getting killed just like people from NOLA do. <-----bad joke, bad comparison but I couldn't think of any other way to explain it.

Ukraine was the go around for them to go. Just like the go around in Canada, Mexico, to go to Havana.

Probably so. Would you, if you were a regular Cannuck, go to a country where your Embassy has been shut down for years?

Why not?

The rest of the world is exactly like Canada, right?

That’s so sad.

Some of the best folks I met while in school in Canada were Iranian-Canadians. Just good people (and all I met were not fans of the theocracy).

Many if not most Iranians are good people. One of the most misunderstood places too Americans.
