Flight 752

Unless you've been in a coma or living under a rock, on January 8th, 2002, 176 innocent people lost their lives to ineptitude that can't be blamed totally on anyone person or faction. Questions that have been (maybe) asked but left unanswered.

1. Knowing the current atmosphere between Iran and the USA, why was this plane allowed to take-off? Shouldn't all flights have been grounded until the tension subsided. After 9/11, no planes were in the air until 5 days later.
2. Knowing the current atmosphere between Iran and the USA, why didn't the military attempt to make contact with would-be missile? A missile would not have replied back. If you contacted and received no reply, then bomb it into oblivion. 
3. As this flight took-off from Tehran and I'm sure a flight plan was filed and flight path had been established, why wouldn't the military know what might be already or soon to be in Iranian airspace? Do they lack communication?

Who is to blame? That list is a short one:

We could blame:

1. the overzealous soldier with his finger on the launch button maybe trying to impress his boss that he shot down a US inbound missile defeating the Great White (Orange) Devil (Donald Trump).
2. his commander, who didn't take the time to perform due diligence before giving the okay to launch, unless #1 did so without following protocol. (Which means Iran military has bigger problems than just murdering innocent Iranian, Afghan, Canadian, Swedish, and Ukrainian citizens.)
3. Donald Trump. If he didn't go off half-assed, half-cocked, and dim-witted by assassinating General Soleimani without positive proof that he was up-to-no-good, the Iranians wouldn't have been searching the skies for a reason for payback.
4. the Republican party...because they're all just a bunch of plain assholes and let Trump run amok. 
5. the Democratic party...because they let Trump get elected and they don't have a pair of balls between any of them.
6. the Iranian government...because they're more corrupt than when the Shah was in power. (And that MoFo was corrupt. The American Businessmen owned is wrinkled, old ass.)
7. Boeing. After all, it was another 737, which has been giving them the shits for quite awhile.

What to do now?

Well, the shit has already hit the fan. All we can do is sit and wait and hope that no more stupid actions or reactions occur from either faction. Right now, Iran is "standing-down." Whatever the fark that means.

And seeing Iranians taking to the streets and protesting tells me that they're not very different to us. Our political leaders want us to hate and go to war against countries like Iran. For them it's "good business." Getting us into the Iraq war like Bush did helped his VP Dick Cheney's Haliburton interests make a shit-ton of money off that war. That country is barely better off since 20 years later. 

With the impending possible removal from office, Trump is doing everything in his power to draw our attention to somewhere else. He's the Great Magician. Great not meaning "great or wonderful", but horrible, terrible, unscrupulous, etc. So, if he kills a few generals, etc., our attention is diverted from his other fark-ups. But these rich assholes are not the ones that wind-up fighting these wars. 

Iran denied the shooting down of Flight 752 because no doubt they had an "Oh, shit!" moment and needed to figure an out for the blame. Lucky for them, they finally owned their fark-up days later. They needed to. However, if they owned it immediately, their countrymen would not be angry enough to protest in the streets about being lied to and the cover-up as they scream about dethroning their supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. Also, Trump should have kept his big, fat orange-faced, yellow-balding-head's mouth shut. I don't have a Twitter account. I got off it years ago because of all the assholes with Twitter accounts. Every time he takes to Twitter, he steps into shit. As a favor to me...will any of you with Twitter accounts, right now, tweet to The Donald (@realDonaldTrump) to STFU. That's all just four letters: STFU!

The Iranian military admitted their error by calling it "a disastrous mistake." No shit, Sherlock. There's a lot of dead people. People who had families that were expecting to see their loved ones later that day or the next, but didn't. You don't launch a farking deadly weapon unless you have your facts straight.

Jeremy Bogaisky, a reporter for Forbes, wrote "It’s unclear how the SA-15 operators could have misidentified an airliner as a hostile aircraft, much less a much smaller and faster cruise missile. The 737 was flying on a commonly used departure path from Tehran’s Iman Khomeini airport, climbing to 8,000 feet at a relatively sedate airspeed of 315 mph. Cruise missiles usually fly close to the ground at altitudes under 250 feet, and at speeds of 550 mph and up." 

This is not a simple Ooops moment. You don't fire a weapon of death with the lightheartedness of throwing a wad of wet paper on the ceiling of a classroom. A week's detention is nothing compared to trying to explain what happened to their kin to about 176 families.

This Middle East shit has been old for a very, very long time. It's time for us and I mean, U.S. to get the fark out of there. Let them have that whole shithole to themselves. Let them kill each other. There's absolutely no reason for our troops to be there anymore. If we have businesses there, fark 'em. If the greedy one-percenters want to make billions ($) off the world, let 'em, but they don't have our protection any longer. I can't help to be angry. Every day I grow older, this world becomes a larger shitfest. We need change. We need BIG change. And we need it now. Next I'll revise my opinion on the Democratic race to replace the Republican self-proclaimed King. In the meantime, stay safe and love one another. TTFN.
