You know when even famed Never Trumper and ‘the smartest guy in the room’ Tom Nichols writes a thread about how stupid it is for the Left and the media to blame Trump for Iranians shooting the plane down that it’s a really stupid narrative.
No way he would ‘defend’ Trump unless what he is seeing from his fellow anti-Trumpers is just that bad.
And considering the idea that Trump somehow forced Iranians to shoot down a plane is one of the dumbest things we’ve see on Twitter, we actually agree with Tom.
A little.
Enough already about how Trump caused the Iranians to shoot down an airliner. He didn't. Any of you want to question my anti-Trump cred, you can f*** right off, but it's time to talk like grownups for a moment about military operations. /1

Talk like grownups.
Have fun with that, guys.
I do not yet know how Iran shot down that plane. Occam's Razor says: Incompetence, failure to spread the word, some dumbass who wasn't trained enough, poor discipline among air defense guys. It wasn't a U.S. hit on an airliner. It was a screwup during operations. /2

"Oh, but Trump made them jumpy." Yes, well, when you've deputized a terrorist scumbag to travel around the region training people in killing civilians and conducting irregular warfare via proxies, you have to think that guy might get killed. The Iranians are not new at this. /3
