Oh, I didn't think you were advocating firing missiles willy-nilly in Tehran but what would targeted strikes accomplish for Canada in the end? Wouldn't it be mostly symbolic?

I don't think 'accident' is the right term if the missile was intentionally fired. Mistaken target, yes. Not sure what the right term would be.

I would think the Iranian public should be just as concerned as Canada or any other country that had citizens on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just for a moment, so did I. Such is this chaotic world climate we live in and the state of distrust and uncertainty when it comes to the current occupant of the White House and the sycophats who lick his boots.

Plane mainly Iranians, but 0 Americans. Not saying it isn't possible, but hard to trust news these days, esp out of the US or the white house. Regardless, a tough spot for Canada. Wonder what JT will do. Definitely don't go to war over this. Lives matter, but there are ways to honor them without a war that results in more Canadian deaths. I still blame Trump for escalating all this in order to distract from impeachment. They didn’t do it purpose, most likely misidentified the target. Majority of armament that Iran poses is pre revolution and sanctions. What they have produced it is mainly low tech updated Soviet weaponry. As far as going to war, it’s not worth it and Canada lacks military capabilities to do so anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errors of commission or omission are most commonly referred to in accounting and bookkeeping. I get that you want to somehow justify being gullible enough to trust an outlet as farcical and fallible as the gateway pundit. It's understandable that you're looking for technicalities that will enable you to climb out of the illogical hole you dug, but really??? Gotta be intellectually honest to have a constructive conversation my friend. A wise man once said never argue ignorance with an ignorant person as they'll only beat you down with experience. I'll take his advice and leave you to your ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
