Iran's hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. Instead of saying "thank you" to the United States, they chanted "death to America." In fact, they chanted "death to America" the day the agreement was signed. Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal, and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration. The regime also greatly tightened the reins on their own country, even recently killing 1,500 people at the many protests that are taking place all throughout Iran.

USAID
That one little acronym should send up red flags.
USAID will dispense our tax money to ngo's, non-profits, contractors, foundations, etc. We The People should be awake enough now to understand what "follow the money" actually means.
We spend gazillions every year through USAID assuming it is tracked and monitored.

MSNBC gave airtime to baseless Iranian propaganda alleging the Islamic Republic had killed 30 American military members in missile attacks Tuesday night.

Trump seemed so tired at that presser.
What if....what if he was up all night because he went through back channels and straight up told iran that he would nuke them if they did anything.
And they believed him. Got so scared in fact that they shot down that plane thinking it was the usa coming for them.
A group of aerospace experts said Wednesday that Ukrainian International Airlines flight 752, which seemingly dropped out of the sky minutes after takeoff last night in Tehran, was likely shot out of the sky.
According to a report cited by the Independent, analysts should start from the assumption that the plane, which had 176 people on board, none of whom survived, crashed as the result of a "shootdown." While others insisted that it's still too early to jump to conclusions, the OPS group, an aviation risk monitoring group, said photos from the crash site clearly show projectile holes in the plane's fuselage and wing.
Ukrainian International Airlines has also discounted the possibility of technical problems, insisting there was "nothing wrong" with the three-year old Boeing 737-800, which had undergone a scheduled technical check only two days earlier.
