Now we know the Iranian military has admitted they shot down the jet the only question is why had Ukrainian airlines gone back in the air knowing the risks? What was the Ukrainian Station Manager thinking? Why were no other airliners in the air? I can not imagine the Ukrainian Airline authorities were NOT warned to stay out of the air. Its interesting though, that on this thread, when the facts speak for themselves you get the same extremists trying to detract from the Iranian military's behavior. Quote

CITIZEN_2015 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) No worries. Iran regime agents could not distract public opinion here and elsewhere. Demand for Justice started https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-51077788 Iran's admission it "unintentionally" shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet has sparked demands for justice for the 176 people on board who were killed. The calls were led by Ukraine's president and the prime minister of Canada, which lost 57 nationals. Social media footage has shown protests in Iran, some of them calling for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to resign. The plane was shot down on Wednesday, hours after Iran had struck two air bases housing US forces in Iraq. Ukraine's prosecutor general is investigating possible wilful killing and aircraft destruction. Just imagine what would become when truth eventually come to surface that Iran regime INTENTIONALLY shot down the plane killing so many their own citizens among them. Murderers bastards and those who defend them are no better. Edited January 11, 2020 by CITIZEN_2015 Quote

Part of giving criticisms is being able to take criticism and take some action on those criticisms, and we are just as guilty as most nations for not caring and going in our own direction... IE spending 2 % GDP on defense, how and why would we sign an agreement in front of the world ....and then in front of the same world and refuse to meet the standard, after being criticized by dozens of NATO allies, or signing a treaty on how we treat our native population... and having the UN trying to enforce it... It would be hard for me to take serious anything Canada has said, because they don't respond or act towards the same advice.

CITIZEN_2015 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Trump is with Iran nation. US President Donald Trump has tweeted his support to the people of Iran, saying "I've stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency."Hundreds of Iranian protesters demanded Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei step down on Saturday after Tehran admitted that its military had mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian plane, killing all 176 people on board. “Commander-in-chief [Khamenei] resign, resign,” videos posted on Twitter showed hundreds of people chanting in front of Tehran’s Amir Kabir university. Demonstrators on Saturday ripped up pictures of Soleimani during the protests. In a show of solidarity with the people of Iran against the regime, Trump tweeted: "To the brave, long-suffering people of Iran: I've stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency, and my Administration will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely, and are inspired by your courage." https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Iran-News/Iranian-protesters-demand-Khamenei-quits-over-plane-downing-613857 Quote

Next time it may not be just a downed airplane. It was an intentional act and the plan was to blame American incoming missiles for the downing but plan changed because America never retaliated against the regime for its attack on bases in Iraq. How could this be a mistake. JUST THINK PEOPLE. The large plane just taken off from Aryamehr (Tehran's) International airport in central Iran while flying AWAY from Tehran heading west towards the western border (it was NOT incoming but outgoing object) and then they mistook it with an incoming cruise missile much smaller coming from the western border!!!!!!!!. Mistake my ass. It was a deliberate murderous act similar to Cinema Rex burning down by mullahs and blamed on the Shah. https://kayhanlife.com/news/revolutionary-arson-19th-august-1978-470-burnt-alive/ Edited January 12, 2020 by CITIZEN_2015 Quote

He knows he got worse enemies within his own government, and they are using him to enrich the military industrial complex. I believe the deep state used an electromagnetic weapon to bring down the airliner... to get sympathy from the Canadians and the world in support for the war against Iran. Picking a Ukrainian airliner seems suspicious too. No way Iran would shoot it down by accident. They were on high alert, and would be able to identify and verify any aircraft originating from Iran. I know Justin Trudeau is a coward, but hopefully he's not stupid, and will see right through this. And now they're using an "electomagnetic weapon" (supplied to them by the Illuminati and the Elders of Zion) to manipulate the brains of the Iranian government and make them say that they themselves did it.

It's just that the American overthrow of the democracy that was in Iran in 1953 helps explain why Iran started down the path to becoming an unstable shit-disturber itself. Prior to 1953 there was no reason whatsoever for any of the animosity Iranians have for the US in fact there was probably a lot of admiration.
