Occam's Razor Vindicated Again

The explanation that requires the least assumptions is likely the correct one. The Iranians shot down the Ukrainian airliner by accident. That's the problem with violence, sometimes it boomerangs.


Peace is the answer but I'm not holding my breath.

Trump is clearly guilty of multiple impeachable offenses.

Alternatively, the entire world is engaged in a conspiracy (directed by HRC and Obama, of course) to undermine Trump and prevent him from making America great again.

About Sean Hannity opening his show with saying they (Iran)were gonna get hit hard and there were B-52 bombers en route to Iran blah blah. This was supposedly before the airplane went down. Speculating that perhaps they monitored dumps “advisers” and mistakenly thought it was one of the planes Hannity was referencing and took action. Now, I have no idee if any of this is accurate but that’s what I saw on the twitter.

Or he may have a private company like blackwater starting shit again, like they did in Iraq. He had Rudy as his private state department so he may have a private military doing his drone work. No military briefing, no watching the bomb to its target? And the Generals look very pissed in pictures like they are blamed for a private mess.
