In Iran, specifically, 1953. Look at the US involvement in the overthrowing of Mosaddegh.


Dude you are fing clueless on what happens on when it pertains to the military both red and blue. We don't start Jack shucks. If anything we protect the lives of the chicken shits in the other countries that won't do anything. Fact check...Iran has flown drones all over Afghanistan to monitor us. Russia flies collection manned platforms all around Alaska. They have also been in Syria for two reasons: practice using their new crap and collect on us. China flys collection aircraft all around Guam. This isn't even taking into account the many many boats as well. All of our adversary countries have drones. You don't hear about us shooting them down.

Also the UAV they shot down is the size of a 737 when it pertains to radio cross section. So why the f would they shoot at something that looked like a potential airliner? Now i am certain they knew what they were shooting at because if it was manned there wouldn't be all this on TV about what our next move would be. It would already be in motion.

Saying we poke and prod is utter bs. That's exactly what Iran has been doing to us. Seeing how far they could push until we react. I can promise you they will not like the response. They will have a lot more to worry about than sanctions.

Last but not least....do us all a favor...change your name from hippiekiller to hippielover!!! Your probably an ex Obama supporter and love Bernie Sanders.
