Lightning Knight posted:I feel like if there was a reasonable belief that this was because of sabotage and not human error, Iran's government would not have already admitted fault and apologized. I'm sure the CIA didn't take over SAM batteries to mine cryptos, download child porn and shoot down Ukrainian planes. On the other hand, it is not entirely inconceivable that some form of sabotage played a role in the human error. IFF weirdness, radar glitches and overall inconsistent performance, just below the level that you're sure that something really is wrong. If I remember the Stuxnet story correctly, that was the initial plan until someone turned the dials to 11 and exploded the centrifuges. I kind of have to disagree with the first statement. If I was running the Iranian military and suspected that the air defences are compromised I'd be ready to admit to anything to prevent the US from figuring it out. Also: genericnick posted:Watch Trump lock up the families for breaking Iran sanctions. ""Ukraine PM says state, airline will give money to families of Iran crash victims - Reuters" posted:He said Ukraine International Airlines would make payments to the families of the crew members who died in the crash. The airline’s spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment. Honcharuk also said Ukrainian diplomats were working on how to receive compensation from the Iranian authorities.

Yes, there must be some deep sinister purpose behind blowing up a commercial airliner full of civilians.

Wanting governments to "get torn down" when there isn't a cogent revolutionary movement is how you get a civil war. The fact that there are protesters doesn't mean they represent a popular sentiment, or even a critical mass of action. The fact that they're not organized is even worse.

the kiss of death for all of these color revolutions is always that they'll be immediately supported and coopted by western interests. at the same time that they receive more money than they know what to do with, they'll also be delegitimized in the eyes of many of their own people for receiving foreign support. unlike venezuela though, iran doesn't tolerate little guaidos running around pulling media stunts
