See you around, if a bit less
I raise you this reddit comment
“This is immensely embarrassing.
US kills Soleimani after Iranian-backed militias try to pull off Benghazi 2.0. Iran's response?
(1) January 7: During the funeral for Soleimani, in the midst of burning American flags and speakers touting the impending destruction of the United States of America, a panic-driven stampede kills 56 people and injures 200 in Kerman.
(2) January 8: Iran's "hell on Earth" response against the U.S. (Operation Martyr Soleimani) is ultimately a very mild airstrike against U.S. bases with no casualties. Even radical Iranians are left confused at the extremely tepid "retaliation." The Ayatollah's threat of Washington in flames winds up being the most anti-climactic moment in world history since the end of Kill Bill Volume 2.
(3) January 8: After Rouhani condemned the U.S. for its downing of Iran Air Flight 655 on January 6, Iran goes oopsie daisy and shoots down a plane - Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 - killing 176 people, 147 of whom were Iranians, in the process.
(4) January 8: After the airplane goes down, Iran gets extra silly, immediately puts out a statement within 30 minutes of the crash that says, "It was a technical issue. Nothing to see here. Move along now" which immediately makes everyone twice as skeptical.
(5) January 9: The U.S. ultimately responds by announcing even tougher economic sanctions against Iran...and Tehran doesn't respond, ending the 3 day brawl with an embarrassed Iran, 200+ dead Iranians, 0 killed by the U.S., and now Iran can no longer crow about Iran Air Flight 655 for another 3 decades without reminding their own citizens they killed 176 innocent people, mostly Iranians, due to a freak accident while trying to make a flex on the world stage.”

The moral of this whole mess is "Don't overthrow democratically elected governments because they nationalize oil reserves"

Operation Martyr Soleimani should be replaced by Operation Bring Back the True Martyr.
As in reviving Khomeini, making him both the President and Supreme Leader. Then Iran would just let him use his angery imam magic powers and destroy the United States.
im keeping this for when my grandkids ask about the 2020 Iranian tensions.

Yeah, pretty embarrassing. From the moment of the assassination they've gone through almost every mistake in the book... and that's after a relatively good year for them in the international arena.
EDIT: We forgot about the nuclear issue, though. It's a crucial part of the story, and on January 6th or 7th they withdrew from more JCPoA limitations. The fact that this step got lost amidst all the Soleimani issue is good for them.
Has been a rough one domestically too, will be interesting to see what happens in the next few years
It seems that 57 of the passengers on the shot down airliner were Canadians.
Yes, most of them Iranian-Canadians.
was there a particular event they were going to? It must be horrible for the Iranian community in Canada, they must have been hit proportionally much harder
I believe most of them were students and athletes.
No. Just this -
Yep, it is. It's a pretty large community.
Hello fellas. I'm finally sitting down to my computer again. As of Friday, I'm a married man. Also as of Friday, I have a Mother in law who hates me. Oh well. -_O_-
This means I will now be able to focus on my nation.
Sorry, Ostehaar Thuz just got so boring....
Alright, so I scrubbed this resolution of complicated numbers: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=479245
I wanted to see if the general layperson/intellectual of TWI can understand the content of the proposal. If so, it would be safe to submit.
Much better than the first draft you gave us.
Thanks! Any improvements/feedback you have in mind so far?
No idea how credible this source is

According to a friend of mine living in Qom, there's a seething sense of resentment boiling on the streets. People have said 'death to the liars', and 'down with the oppressor!'. Of course, these movements are being violently suppressed.

this whole plane thing sounds like a CIA op. I think there's a lot going on here than meets the eye
Two people that I knew died. Define 'CIA op'.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.
