Gaslight?
You watched it all from your desk?

Oh, on video like Brennan, Clapper, and Comey on video?

I understand you’re paid, or inclined for personal reasons, or just plain stupid enough, to believe whatever the Barry Blowing Hillary crowd feed you, but you’re not convincing anyone that the evidence the Dutch ignored because it didn’t fit the predetermined verdict doesn’t exist.


LOL. There you go again. I watched MH17 unfold in real time in breaking news report and social media postings over several hours time. I recall it distinctly. The Russians had previously shot down Ukrainian aircraft and incorrectly assumed what turned out to be MH17 was another one. So Girkin was active on social media that morning and happy to take “credit” for murdering all those kids on MH17. They were quite proud of what the Russian military had done.

So it’s quite amusing now for you to gaslight and lie on the subject. I recall the same at the time regarding Crimea here. It was an uprising of farmers and miners, etc. Then Putin handed out the medals to Russians from Moscow who conducted the op and you Putinists put all those lies down the memory hole. Sorry, no sale here.

That’s perfect.

Trump has been vindicated with his very first statement in the speech, that Iran will never get nuclear weapons as long as he’s president. Good reason right here!

Good analysis:

The air defence crew, probably afraid of being targeted by American aircrafts (the sensors in modern fighter planes are powerful enough to identify the SAM from extremely far away), pressured by the heighten tensions (their government just launched ballistic missiles on a superpower), protecting a missile base (high target after a ballistic missile attack) and relying on limited sensors capabilities were unable to identify the aircraft on time, only seeing an unidentified target coming towards them and failing to take in consideration that an international airport was present which leads us to question, was the crew even notified of the airspace still being open to civilian traffic, or was there an internal memo that superseded such facts ? Chances are that, the ground crew, pushed the fire button before properly identifying the aircraft, closing on them, driven by fear, pressure, internal communication failure and most definitely lack of training.

It is a lot of truth in this post written by a worried Russian:

Iran shot itself in the foot. It is just a matter of time. If the Iranian sanctions are lifted, Iran will be oriented not to Russia, but to the West. They told us 5 years ago that the Western lobbies in Iran are strong. We don’t have technology, everything we can offer is weapons and they are questionable.

Iranians brilliantly taking regime propaganda incl religious symbols & flipping against em
photo 1- Suleimani alledgedly going to heaven & hugged by Imam Hussein
Photo 2- Suleimani going to hell and welcomed by arch vilain Yazid
The clue is: flipping the color from green to red

It’s not even fair to expect hard action from Ukraine right now. They have their hands full with the Russian invasion.

Canada on the other hand is comfortable and a rich country and they should be pressured to do something.

If the US had taken any action over Tehran, as the Iranians may have feared/ expected/ hoped, you can be sure that they would try to pin the shoot-down on the US and the world would be excoriating President Trump over “reckless adventurism.”
