So Many Want Trump to Win Badly
The Iranians had better watch out, Justin Trudeau is after ‘em.
Last night’s fireworks was a perfect microcosm of modern warfare. Half of Twitter, a.k.a the progressive patriotic left, were cheering on the Iranians, wishing the ayatollah would come and free them from tyranny: when they weren’t cacking themselves. While the rest of the world-the sane part- watched and wondered why the frig the Iranians are doing it.
In case you think I am being too flippant, at the time of writing the main story about Justin Trudeau is not his reaction to Ukranian International Airlines flight PS752, in which 63 Canadians were killed, but his facial hair. And, yes I know the way the interwebz shuffles stories off the mortal coil of the front page… but….
Video purporting to be of the crash has appeared via ISNA (Iranian Students’ News Agency). Which appears to show a mid-air explosion. The Iranian authorities are refusing to hand over the black-boxes, so it is not yet known what caused the death of…
“ 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 3 Britons, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, 4 Afghans and 4 Germans.”
The weird thing is, and I appreciate plane-spotters can a little ‘touched’, but why was the person filming? In the middle of the night, seemingly in the middle of no where, and some random plane taking off from the airport?
The price of oil rose 2.60 cents when the rocket attacks began, an hour (or so) later when the missiles stopped and news broke about the airliner crashing the price of oil had risen 1.08 — a fall of 1.52 from it’s height. Which suggests all may not be what it seems.
In the hurly-burly of condemning Trump, and his terrorist regime, it largely went unnoticed that it is the fifth anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo massacre. Not that the patriotic progressives will want reminding of that, given their lamentable screeching during the affair. And in some ways the present situation mirrors that event.
For no sooner had the missile strikes occurred than commentators scuttled off in the ‘hope’ of finding a HyperCacher: in the form of Hezbollah raining missiles down on Israel. These desires were partly fulfilled when Michael Moore’s Iranian pen-pals threatened to attack Haifa and Dubai…. they would have threatened Tel Aviv, but we all know what a problem it can be fitting your message into 280 characters…. and curiously this sort of banter doesn’t break the Twitter rules on hate speech.
And having claimed to have killed ‘80 terrorists’ at the targeted airfields in Iraq, and having apparently killed none (except for a few Iraqis, and who cares about them, am I right?) ‘sources’ are now claiming that Iran deliberately missed. Apparently the Iranians have caught onto the buzzword of the moment, for foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said, “ We do not seek escalation or war.”
And who can blame them when faced with the earthquake machine?
For this morning at 03:19:13.3 UTC (be precise) an earthquake (or two) struck southern Iran, near the Bushehr nuclear power plant. It isn’t the first time either. In 2013, when the stand off over Iran’s nuclear program was grumbling on, a 6.3 earthquake rattled the pots and pans. But don’t worry, the Bushehr facility is designed to withstand a 8.0 earthquake.
Yes, yes, Iran lies within the complex zone of collision between the Arabian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. And there is no such thing as an earthquake machine. And because there is no such thing as an earthquake machine Bushehr would seem a bloody silly place to build a nuclear power plant (or maybe not if you keep your nose clean).
Oh and Mr Corbyn made a tit of himself at PMQs banging on about International Law. Offering Mr Johnson dolly balls, pitched so wide of the mark, that they were padded away to the boundary without a shot being offered.
