Smells like smoke again.

[Yosemitest]

Time to destroy Iran's ability to shoot down anything.
Time for Iran to lose its government in one sudden strike from space.

[kaehurowing]

General Salami.

Is he a cousin of Baghdad Bob?

I do not believe this MQ-4C was IN Iranian airspace, it was designed to linger far outside of contested airspace.

[nathanbedford]

My $0.02:

The US should proceed as it has, not reacting, forcing the Iranians to ever more aggressive actions violative of international norms, building a case for military action as and when it becomes necessary, a case which will carry the allies.

Meanwhile, a diplomatic posture should be to enlist at least token participation by the Japanese whose ship was attacked and by the Europeans whose oil flow, or at least price of oil, will be affected.

In any event Trump should wait until after his G-7 meeting with the Chinese dictator.

The president should maintain a posture of sober reticence to resort to arms and wait for the Iranians to give him the Pearl Harbor he needs if he is to undertake any military operation.

As and when a military strike becomes unavoidable, it should be confined to see and air elements but it should be massive and thoroughly punitive. No attempt should be made to occupy, although it might be possible to ship arms to those Iranians who might take up arms against the regime. The entire Persian Gulf should be declared an international zone requiring permission from the US led coalition to enter and making any unauthorized entry liable to attack.

Boom! Top of the news this morning.

[mylife]

“sparked huge international tension”

There’s yer clue.

[mylife]

Chavez thought he could play the same game.

[Vermont Lt]

This is what Iran does.

[eartick]

Here we go again.

I feel another trillion or so spent on nation building instead of a good ol fashion kick ass war and leave.

Gotta keep lining the pockets of the machine.

[Candor7]

A few B-52 sorties along the Iranian Coast of the Straights of Hormuz will put the Iranian military back to riding horses and using swords. But thats not going to happen. Two or more can play the asymmetrical warfare game.

But PDJT is simply waiting to let the world see the clear evidence of Iranian threat. President Trump is going to solve the Iran world terrorism problem , one way or the other, watch for it.

[Pravious]

Our government says it was over international airspace.
The Iranians say it was over their airspace.

I have no more reason to believe our people is telling the truth than I do theirs.

It IS obvious that the propaganda media is beating the war drums, probably as yet-another in their endless efforts to hurt our President anyway they can. For me, that’s ENOUGH reason to ignore it. We’ll just have to life without one more spy drone. Boo freaking hoo.

[Big Red Badger]

MQ-4C TRITON.

[Eleutheria5]

The drone is gone but not unmourned. Its widow and orphans are hysterical with grief. “Avenge my husband!” said the queen bee of red hive 2034 of the Tucson Sweet Stuff apiary.

[posterchild]

Did I miss it or did the article not mention where the remains of the drone landed? Did it land in international or iranian waters?

[Ancient Man]

Always Watch Their Other Hand ~

The downing of a U.S. drone by Iranian provocateurs should serve as a direct warning that Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is willing to serve as a political proxy warrior on behalf of America’s Democrat Socialist party because both would benefit by luring the Trump administration into a sustained regional conflict, thereby provoking strong anti-war sentiments in the run-up to the 2020 elections.

Both know that President Trump would never win reelection if he took the bait because such a move would be highly unpopular in the U.S. Furthermore, Iran would benefit by helping Democrat Socialists regain the White House because they could then reinstate the terms of America’s unilateral surrender “negotiated” by Obama and Kerry under the terms of the much ballyhooed “Iranian Nuclear Deal.”

If you don’t believe that such a scenario is possible, then please explain why John F’n Kerry has been defiantly meeting with the Iranian Mullahs in open violation of the Hatch Act, ever since President Trump scrapped their phony “nuclear deal.” I’ll wait. Keep in mind that these are the same traitors who just attempted to orchestrate a coup d’etat against the duly elected President of the United States.

IRAN has been accused of using a fake photo in an attempt to 'prove' a US drone was over its territory before being shot down.

[gandalftb]

The story is wrong, the drone that was shot down was a:

https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Navy/Northrop-Grumman-RQ-4A-Global-Hawk/2771514

AKA, a RQ-4N BAMS-D (Broad Area Maritime Surveillance-Demonstrator) aircraft which is the experimental precursor to the MQ-4C.

It was shot down by a Raad (Thunder) road-mobile, medium-range SAM system similar to a SA-11 Buk.

[Enlightened1]

BBC = FAKE NEWS

 

This was a 2 year old photo.  The Warmongers ran another FALSE FLAG.

 

Hey look!  It is the same photograph - albeit in a wider crop - had previously appeared in a two-year-old report of a spy drone being shot down over Yemen in 2017

 

 

 

Here is the fake proof FALSE FLAGE photo.

 

[Bringbackthedraft]

How long before AOC asks about the pilot and if he was captured?
