Yeah, but the U.S. president says mean things about our press.

Yes, but you see, they're in a highly-dangerous job. That some foreign journalist got killed in another country under completely different circumstances conclusively PROVES that Trump is incredibly dangerous to our super heroic media.

 

Jim Acosta has just awarded himself a silver star for his heroism in the face of mean tweets.

the pinko paper of Canada tells me Iran deliberately aimed not to hurt an American, as if they could hit a cow in the behind with a shovel


but then they kill 57 Canadians on a passenger jet, and... well...:.::  reporters here are more punchdrunk than CNN

The missiles Iran used have an error in aiming of +/- 500 yards.  Meaning that when they're launched the safest place to be is pretty much where they're aimed.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Iran intentionally avoided killing any Americans.  They know Trump ain't ***** around and the next time we hit them it's going to be a lot harder.

"The United States has done terrible things in the Middle East. To even casual observers of the region, this should be clear enough. That, however, doesn’t mean there is a moral equivalence between Iran and the United States. Elevating America as a somehow unique source of evil takes necessary self-criticism and turns it into narcissism. It insists on making us the exceptional ones, glorifying ourselves by glorifying our sins. To suggest that American officials are at the rarefied level of the deliberate, systematic mass murder and sectarian cleansing that Soleimani helped orchestrate isn’t just wrong; it’s silly."

New videos out of Iran show banners of Soleimani and Khamenei getting TRASHED
 

Weird. We were under the impression from watching the MSM that Iranians loved General Qassem Soleimani, but this video out of Iran shows otherwise:

This seems perfectly normal...

 

Qatar to offer Iran $3 billion for Ukrainian plane victims

 

Quote

Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani is in Tehran on Sunday amid regional tensions following the US killing of Iranian commander and Iran accidentally shooting down a Ukrainian jetliner.

According to several sources, the reason for the visit is for the Emir of Qatar to offer President Hassan Rouhani $3 billion in compensation for the 176 passengers who lost their lives following Iran’s admission that it shot down the Ukraine-bound aircraft after mistaking it for a ‘hostile target’.

In a statement, Sheikh Tamim was quoted by the Iranian presidency as saying that "Qatar will not forget Iran's position on the sanctions imposed on Doha,” in a tacit nod of acknowledgment for past Iranian support. .

Uh-oh.

The Islamic Republic is fixing up its toy another round.

Given recent events, maybe they should convert it to a cruise liner.

 

     "Iran is repairing its imitation aircraft carrier, likely preparing it for a new round of exercises during which it will probably get blown up. The “carrier,” a mockup built up from a floating barge, was first built in the early 2010s and then used for target practice. The barge is being rebuilt, presumably for more punishment, in an exercise with decidedly more sinister undertones than the first time around."

 

Islamic Nimitz
