The Iranian argument eats itself. The only reason we targetted Soleimani was because he killed an American and ordered an attack on our embassy. That makes everything that happened as a consequence of that initial attack - including our retaliation and them shooting down that jet - their responsibility.

The radical muslim terrorist state of Iran, the American communist Left, Trump-hating GOPers and the MSM all exist in some bizarre, unparallel universe where normal rules of behavior and reasoning don't apply.

Next they'll be telling us that the 600+ Americans Salami had a hand in killing were Trump's fault because he was such a nice boy. His grandmother said he just wanted to be a rap star and go to junior college. All of his aspirations and dreams destroyed because Trump is so evil.

Give me a break.

Let me see if I understand this correctly; Iran, which has been directing attacks against the United States, attacked a embassy in a neighboring country, and it is somehow the United State’s fault that when we finally took a very minor reprisal against the leader who had been overseeing these attacks, it then becomes our fault that a hate fest erupts that results in Iran popping off a surface to air missile against a scheduled airline flight taking off from Tehran?

Had no idea that AOC was writing Iran’s talking points. Only explanation I can come up with.

We’re lectured to by mass murderers about morality. This is getting old.

They, the Iranians murdered their own people and they have the chutzpah to blame us for it.

They need to sit down and STFU!

"It was the U.S. that caused such an incident to take place," said Mullah Schumer and Mullah Pelosi, in another attack on Orange Man Bad.

They keep on lying and are adding to it by defaming us.

No one forced them to shoot down that plane.

It is not the responsibility or duty of the American people to free the Iranians from the medeival misery they are enduring. In the 1960’s and 1970’s, America helped modernize their telecommunications, agriculture, and oil industry. It also provided post graduate education for thousands of Iranians. They have no gratitude, sacked our embassy, fund terrorism and have killed and maimed American soldiers. Iran has been just another debilitating foreign entanglement for the American people.

We’re resisting their aggression. We took out their garbage terrorist and are prepared to take out their leaders if they persist.

Don’t mess around with us. You won’t live to regret it.

Let’s see you freaking iranian morons-— IT’s the US FAULT that your ill trained IDIOT missileers of the crosseyed “republican” guard troops-— shot down an airliner that they KNEW from IFF transponders to be a Ukrainian airliner (and happened to have Americans and Canadians on board, surprise). An aircraft THAT HAD JUST TAKEN OFF from Tehran Airport— no less-— you KNEW WHO IT WAS, and DELIBERATELY shot it down.

YOU decided to do that— with “allah’s” fatwa to help. YOU don’t get to sidewind like a crab away from the DECISION to shoot down an airliner. Because you are ruled by 4th Century pervo mullahs who murder at will— and chalk it up to allah’s great command. BULL CRAP!

NOT one but TWO C-17 USAF transport planes FLEW Billions in CASH to Tehran (planes from the great Satan the USA, and you KNEW THESE WERE military planes (sent from your pal Jean Kerri’ and your Frenchie heroin/opium pals) AND YOU ? This is why you have no business being ruled by mullahs, a country that has gone backwards in civilization. We should, and will take out ALL of your nuclear production— you are F’ing LIARS of the first order. All of your missile bases and all production facilities. And any time we want— your leaders. Vaporized.
