and about that airline crash...
Trumps impetuous killing of a senior Iranian administration official led to a military crisis that apparently led to an airliner with hundreds of people aboard being shot out of the sky 10 miles from Tehran. It's increasingly looking like the Ukrainian International Airlines jet that went down within hours of the Iranian missile strike after taking off from Tehran was shot down by a missile itself. A few hours earlier, the Pentagon and the FAA had issued a notice to pilots saying that no private aircraft should be flying in a Iranian air space, implying that if they did, the United States would shoot them down. The Ukrainian Jet was under what is called "positive control," which means that they were in continuous communication with the Iranian air traffic controllers. Which means it's much less likely that the Iranians shot this airliner down than somebody else. So, who shot down the jet? And why does the Trump Administration refuse to discuss it?
