    The KGB said that liberals in America were the useful idiots of the Kremlin.

    As it turns out I was wrong. Hannity didn't talk him out of it.............Tucker Carlson did.

    WASHINGTON — He heard from his generals and his diplomats. Lawmakers weighed in and so did his advisers. But among the voices that rang powerfully for President Trump was that of one of his favorite Fox News hosts: Tucker Carlson.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/politics/trump-iran-strike.html

    Why did he stop it? Apparently, because he saw Tucker Carlson argue against it on his Fox News show. During the broadcast, Carlson called Bolton a “bureaucratic tapeworm.”

    Tell us,
    Did you want it to be in international waters or would you rather it not have been?
    At some point in time lefties really need to think before they spout off. Unless of course one were just trolling.

    A reminder. Democrats got us into every major conflict in the 20th century, bar none. Obama started a war with Libya, destabilizing the entire African continent. So, what point are you trying to spin?

    The laws of gravity work on the remains of a shattered drone just like they work on any falling object.

    Because virtually everything Trump says is a lie?

    Because Bolton (who has been pushing this since General Mattis quit) was part of lying us into the Iraq war?

    The drone could easily have been in international air space when it was hit by Iranian SAMs and then plummeted far enough toward Iranian waters to be recovered there. It isn't like aircraft fall straight down when they crash.

    Left-wingers always side with the enemy. In this case the left-wingers are siding with Islamic Mullahs who control Iran with an iron fist. Go figure.

    Theres enough suspicion to believe that our government is lying.

    Gulf of tonkin
    Iraq wmd’s
    Fake syrian gas attacks
    Incubator babies.

    Our government has gone through great lengths to fabricate stories in order to rush us into war. It would not be surprising if they did it here too.

    And its not about siding with iran. Its about not getting ourselves into an offensive war against a country that poses no threat to us. Its all about oil and no american soldier is worth dying over someone turning a profit.

    Trump pulled the pin on the attack because he was told "we aren't ready"
    Blind Freddie can see that...
    All this crap about 150 people being killed is just bullshit...
    What if there was only 50...what if there was a thousand...
    Its all bullshit..
    The US will attack Iran and the population of the world will all believe the
    bullshit explanation....

    Of course our government lies. Everybody lies. But the only government less trustworthy than our own is Iran’s.

    With a nuke, they’d give it to a terrorist in a nanosecond who would explode it in a ship off the coast of NYC, LA, etc.

    Key word here moving object. Don't leave that part out. And there is a host of other relevant information you need to know which isn't currently available. Such things as heading of the drone when it was struck, the explosive power of the war head, warheads angle of attack in relationship to the drone. elevation of the drone, wind speed and direction in the various wind zones through which the debris fell even the type and nature of the debris can matter in where it winds up. All gravity does is pull the debris down at a constant rate of acceleration other than that it has zero bearing on where the debris lands. Hell even temperature and humidity variations from standard can impact where it will land more than gravity does.
