| 2019-06-21 |
| Anybody have any further information about this? [Jpost] Iran refrained from shooting down a US plane with 35 people on board that was accompanying the downed drone in the Gulf, a Revolutionary Guards commander said on Friday. Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards aerospace division, was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency: "With the US drone in the region there was also an American P-8 plane with 35 people on board. This plane also entered our airspace and we could have shot it down, but we did not." |

| #9 Iran Says It Refrained From Committing National Suicide. 9/11 wasn't national suicide, neither for Afghanistan nor for the Pashtuns nor for the Taliban as a political movement. Precedent is more important than rhetoric and threats. Western deterrence has eroded. |

| #8 #7 - absolutely. Kill Americans in Int'l space = an ass whooping. I'd target every economic target owned by the Ayatollahs and Military/IRGC. Hit THEIR pocketbooks first |

| #4 Since they're not shooting down passenger planes, perhaps we should send one over with Schumer and Pelosi and crew so they could see for themselves? |

| #3 Um... P-8s don't carry 35 people. 7 is the standard crew size during a mission. |

| #2 How about when we do respond, don't do a measured response, don't build a nation... JUST BURN THE SHITHOUSE DOWN. |
