Yes, I did. But let's be real, even Defense Secretary Esper said there's no evidence of him planning on attacking the US. https://time.com/5763480/trump-dissent-iran-threats/ [quote] (WASHINGTON) — Defense Secretary Mark Esper explicitly said Sunday that he had seen no hard evidence that four American embassies had been under possible threat when President Donald Trump authorized the targeting of Iran’s top commander. [/quote] But I'm sure we can take the word of a compulsive liar without any proof, right?? https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/477906-amash-trump-claim-about-us-embassy-threats-seems-to-be-totally-made [quote] Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.), an Independent who left the Republican Party last year, said Sunday that President Trump's claim that Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani was plotting attacks against four U.S. embassies "seems to be totally made up." "The administration didn’t present evidence to Congress regarding even one embassy," [/quote] And [url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/13/world/middleeast/iran-plane-crash-missile.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share]this was interesting [/url] [quote] Iran Protesters Rage Over Downed Jet, as Lawmakers Demand Accountability Protesters chanted against Iran’s clerical rulers for a third day, while several prominent newscasters quit their jobs, apologizing for having broadcast lies. [/quote] Remember when US citizens protested like that after we shot down an Iranian civilian airliner and gave the military medals for it? Yeah, me either.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with ridding the world of trash. I think it’s more of the “timing”. Iran has been pushing buttons for years and the time to strike is during an election year, and an impeachment. Just a little too “convenient” it seems.

To preface, using such childish nicknames deters any sort of real interest in drumming up actual discussion. If your question is to be regarded more legitimately- though I suppose with the amount of posts here you have reason to believe otherwise- then resorting to silly names only hurts the point you're trying to make. To answer your main question: [quote]Did ya'll also have a problem with Droney McPeaceprize and his seven nation bomb the world tour?[/quote]Of course. We should have removed ourselves from the conflict, since the war Bush brought us in has only caused more harm than good. [quote]Did ya'll also have a problem when an american citizen was killed via drone strike?[/quote]Of course. The killing of this general was handled poorly. We brought him to the negotiation table, and then we killed him. What kind of diplomacy is that? Never mind that Trump claims to have done it under pressure of Republican senators, who are coincidentally his jurors in the Senate trial. Could this perhaps have been a politically-motivated assassination? [quote]So heres another question, do the same people trying to pin a terrorist regime shooting down a passenger plane on trump also blame Obama for the thousands of civilians killed as collateral damage from Obomb-ya's 7 nation bomb the world tour?[/quote]The events that lead down to this were of our own volition. We left the nuclear deal. Our president has made his disdain of Iran known previously. Our president has shown open support to Saudia Arabia- Iran's enemy. And after the embassy gets attacked, kills a top general after they planned to negotiate.

[quote]Did ya'll also have a problem with Droney McPeaceprize and his seven nation bomb the world tour? [/quote] Yes. Why is it so hard for conservatives to understand that it is entirely possible for two things to be bad at the same time?

Some classic shit right here. Love the post.

Bad bot, you have no feelings for real people who died.

People who say that trump is responsible for the Ukrainian jet that got shot down probably also say that rape victims were asking for it. “Well if he hadn’t killed general Salami the plane never would have been shot down!” “Well if she didn’t wear that short skirt she never would have been -blam!-!”

I think it was wrong that Obama conducted thousands of strikes in the Middle East, eventhough he usually had AUMF. I think it is wrong from Trump to be droning people in the Middle East, especially because he didn't have AUMF. Having access to the Drone program without oversight is too dangerous a tool for any one man to have.

Trying to rationalize with kelly doesn’t work

I’m not going to pretend to have an opinion on drone strikes, I have thought a lot about it and am at an impasse on the subject. But what I have thought about is the consequences of drone strikes. So yes, actions have consequences, the plane could very well be a consequence of the actions of trump, but the deaths that happened under the Obama administration where a consequence of his actions too, so as far as I am concerned, they both have mannut oil on their faces. No one can look down their nose at one side and praise the other in this. Contained below are my rambling thoughts on the situation. Should we have taken the general out? I only know what I know, from my knowledge, sure, why not? Is there moral issues with putting civilians at risk in the strike. Yes. Should we have tried another method? If it was available. There is so much I do not know about this whole situation so I will by and large refrain from commenting on the specifics of it. Furthermore, while trump may have initiated the series of events that caused that plane to be shot down, the blame still fully rests on the person who ordered that plane shot down. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, while we are personally responsible for what we say and do, and should try to not be inflammatory for no reason, we cannot be held responsible for people reacting out of proportion to the inciting incident.

For once I’d like to see everyone think for themselves instead of thinking the opposite of what their “enemies” think. And before anyone decides to jump to berate me for some made-up hypocrisy or perhaps a spelling error, [i]no[/i], I’m not taking sides, and [i]no[/i], I don’t care.
