Unexpected consequences to allowing crazy evil people to be president. Thanks American filthy rich and the GOP.

.... idea as to who is responsible:

Iranian protesters call for Khamenei's resignation over plane crash

Some even seem to have a lo

w opinion the murder victims himself:

The semi-official Fars news agency carried a rare report of the anti-government unrest, saying up to 1,000 people had gathered, chanting slogans against leaders and tearing up pictures of Soleimani.

I'll wait to see if anything comes of those protests.

Still, even if the Iranian people are up in arms against their country's leader's incompetence and lies, it doesn't mean Traitor Trump is vindicated for his involvement in the death of those people. It took idiot A and incompetent fool B to kill those people.

Hopefully, this will be thrown in his face everywhere he goes.

He may not accept responsibility but there will be no way he will be able to sidestep the reality and consequences.

This is on him.

This was OBAMA'S fault because he gave Iran a buncha money so they could run out and buy a lot of rockets...or something

We need to keep repeating that this is on Trump. He is sitting in the oval office and he is CIC.

and killing are an indispensable part of our existence.

There have been wars on everything from poverty to drug use.

Maybe there should be a war on war.

Close to a military base, according to the Iranis, that should be the fault of air traffic control. Given the tension at the time, the Iranis incorrectly suspected a US plane. Who can really blame them, given the yahoo temperament of the American they were dealing with? Just all around horrific.

May find it hard to forgive the US here. If we had not killed the General, those beautiful people would be alive.
