I don't know who is dumber here. The US killing a top military general, or Iran blowing up a Ukrainian commercial plane filled with fucking Canadians.

Definitely the latter. I don't really know what's dumb about eliminating a dangerous terrorist.

Because it creates tension between the US & Iran? Because it creates a possible proxy esque war in Iraq? I'm not say killing him was good or bad but it will have repercussions for the US and allies. If you can't see that you're really naive.

Also it's quite obvious they shot down the commercial plane by accident it had like 80 Iranian citizens onboard and Iran had absolutely nothing to gain from shooting it down.

There would always be tension in the region though?

I'd like to see more severe sanctions on the Iranian pro-terrorist government.

And it'd be hilarious to see the canucks beating the shit out of Iran anyway. :p

First of all: ofc it's dumb to bomb a government official of another country in that goddamn country. That's an act of war. (Americans would call it terrorism)
Second of all: I doubt that sanctions would have a that large influence on how a religious fanatic runs that country. It might fuck up their economy a bit, but that's gonna hit the Iranian people way harder than their government (it would also strengthen the anti-western propaganda and lead to even more tensions)
and last of all: it'd be hilarious to see a war in which multiple thousand if not even more than a million people could lose their lives? If you're serious about that then you're a lost case and should maybe visit a psychiatrist

Yes, so? I still find it highly inconsiderate to make race ”jokes” about civilians who just died.

Several caucuses were decided by coin toss. The caucus system is a joke..

Once again, the youth vote turns out be virtually nonexistent. Boomers will rule elections till they enter hospice care. This is both sad and hilarious. Millennials are arguably the most pathetic generation in history. They bemoan their state and yet do nada when it's their time to shine.

Warren was dumb not to have dropped and endorsed Bernie. She might have screwed him over in several states he sweeped last cycle. Bloomberg is a corporate shill but that is to be expected. At least he has the unwavering support of American Samoa and it's 350 voters! Anyways, Texas will ignore closing down voting booths in areas that are heavily populated by minorities. Very nice indeed.

It’s pure ego. She stayed in to spite Bernie and got wiped in the process. The Left is superb at self-destruction.

Can’t wait to hear about how the youngins’ are drowning in debt and long work hours when not even 20% of them came out to vote. I guess talking shit on social media really doesn’t translate to decent voter turnout. Who would’ve thought that? They voluntarily dig their own graves while imagining that there is a gun to their heads.

It is not surprising that the youth/younger vote is lower than older people.  Has been for a very long time.  It is far easier for older people to go out and vote than younger people.

Being an idealogical purist didn't help Bernie either. He doesn't make compromises on anything and makes the DNC out to be evil. It might have worked with the GOP, since they fall in line, but the more picky Democrats wouldn't have it. Bernie overshot his expectations and is now risking getting his entire campaign sunk over it.

You can't expect to walk in Washington gleefully when you've burnt nearly bridge down on the way there.
