Airliner hit by two missiles 30 seconds apart.

Was it deliberate?

Oh they deliberately shot down the airplane. Launching more than one missile at an airborne target is pretty standard procedure. I do believe though that they misidentified it as hostile, rather than knowingly shot down an airliner. Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity and all that.

If they had wanted Trump to take the blame they would have been prepared with press releases in their own and sympathetic international news media claiming that American drones or stealth aircraft or some such had been spotted in the area and had deliberately used the airliner as a shield. Instead they fumbled around with "mechanical difficulties" for a day or so.

So you'd rather we sit idly by while Iran escalates the havoc? According to the story, it took exactly zero troops to take out this terrorist.

Yeah, we're the problem...right.
