Pete Buttigieg Blames Donald Trump After Reports Indicate Iran Shot Down Ukraine Plane
Breitbart ^ | 9 Jan 2020 | Charlie Spiering

Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg implicitly blamed President Donald Trump Thursday after reports indicated that Iran shot down a Ukrainian plane shortly after their military strike against the United States.

Buttigieg wrote on Twitter:

Innocent civilians are now dead because they were caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of all 176 souls lost aboard this flight.

American officials noted Thursday that Iran likely fired two missiles at the Ukranian flight that took off from Tehran just hours after the strike. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed the reports, but said the attack “may well have been unintentional.”

While Buttigieg did not explicitly blame Trump, he criticized the president’s “unnecessary” strike in Iran killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani for prompting Iran’s decision to launch a missile strike against U.S. targets in Iraq.

“Taking out a bad guy is not a good idea unless you are ready for what comes next,” Buttigieg said in response to Trump’s order, warning that it was extremely provocative.”

After Iran launched over a dozen missiles at two United States military sites in Iraq, President Trump did not order any retaliatory actions or strikes.

Buttigieg’s comment drew a rebuke from Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).

“Pete Buttigieg charges out to lead the blame-America-first brigade,” he wrote. “Sad, not surprising.”

He’s worse than a Sodomite because Mayor Pete claims to be a Bible believing Christian.

1 Corinthians 5:11

“I am writing to tell you that you must not associate with those who call themselves believers in Christ but who sin sexually, or are greedy, or worship idols, or abuse others with words, or get drunk, or cheat people. Do not even eat with people like that.”

Christians are actually encouraged to associate with unbelievers so as to share the gospel, but with heretics like Mayor Pete, we are commanded to not even sit down to eat with them. Mayor Pete has the spirit of the anti-Christ and twists scripture like a true follower of Satan.

Regarding his blame America first ideology, that has much less to do with sodomy than Mayor Pete being a Democrat.

Thanks Pete, I needed the laugh, and I did literally LOL after reading the headline. No small feat, today was a $#@&< of a day - a 2 hour, headache inducing phone call followed by a 5 hour marathon session in a conference room shared experience of “death by PowerPoint.”

Another deranged religion of hating Trump strikes again.

This dude is so unqualified, it is not even funny. And idiots who have replaced God with the god of Trump hate keep voting, no matter their standing in society,

Truly utter madness of the time.

Keep your powder dry, these people are not normal and are breeding dangerous neighborhoods.

““unnecessary” strike in Iran killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani “

That took place in Iraq not Iran.

For the MSM to promote Blowjob’s comments clearly demonstrates this
When the MSM report they knowingly avoid referencing the religious aspect of these conflicts. Instead portray the conflicts going on between entities in the area as territorial when they are actually sectarian based on enforcing an absolute conformity to a Theocracy. Which permits those who adhere to Koranic laws follow what they claim are Our Creator’s orders which has them authorized by God to execute unbelievers including those fleeing the area they control.

“Taking out a bad guy is not a
good idea unless you are ready
for what comes next,” Buttigieg said.
Trump planned for scenarios where
Iran would retaliate. He didn’t
plan on Iraqs’ poor decisions.
Iraq dropped the ball on this one.
They should have shut down their
airports.

“Taking out a bad guy is not a good idea unless you are ready for what comes next...

Like Obola planned on the waves of refugees flooding Europe after he took out Khadafi?
