All_Pro_Bills Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Tiberius said: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/05/20/iran-president-death-helicopter-crash-news/ “The United States is one of the main parties to be blamed for the disaster yesterday,” Zarif told the state-run Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting in an interview Monday. The United States “sanctioned the sales of aircraft parts and aviation equipment to Iran. They do not allow the Iranians to benefit from all good advances in aviation,” he said. I would have expected the government of Iran would have the common sense to buy helicopters from their good friends in China rather than to ferry around high-ranking public officials in US made models short on parts. Rather than blame the US there seems to be a learning opportunity lost here for the clerics in charge. I expect it will also be reported the entire complement of passengers on board were shouting "God is great" and long live the Islamic Republic as the chopper was plummeting to the ground.

BillStime Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 OH - WHAT'S THIS? US offers condolences, criticism in aftermath of Iranian president’s death The White House on Monday offered its condolences over the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash, while simultaneously criticizing his human rights record and rejecting the suggestion that U.S. sanctions on Iran played a role in the crash. But the administration did not hold back in its criticism of Raisi and in its support for the Iranian people. “President Raisi was responsible for atrocious human rights in his own country,” Kirby told reporters. “The arrest and the physical violence against hundreds of protesters, for instance. And of course he’s responsible … for the support that Iran provided terrorist networks throughout the region. “No question this was a man who had a lot of blood on his hands,” Kirby added. “That said, as we would in any other case, we certainly regret in general the loss of life and offered official condolences as appropriate.” Kirby dismissed claims from some in Iran that U.S. sanctions were responsible for the crash as “utterly baseless.” “But I would note that Iranian official sources are out there citing poor flying conditions as a cause for concern — specifically fog,” he said. “And every country, no matter who they are, has a responsibility, their own responsibility to ensure the safety and reliability of its equipment, and that includes civil aviation.” OUCH - CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, Trump had to back down from this insanity, quoted from the very link you supplied, thanks! : Quote Trump had irked some Republican party members by describing Putin's actions in Ukraine, where cities have been pounded by Russian artillery and cruise missiles, as "genius" and "pretty savvy." Genius??? Putin, for launching a mass murderous war? Pretty savvy? A war of conquest against a peaceful neighbor? Thank God for Joe Biden! Never let than Monster Trump near any type of leadership again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
