World leaders have refused to condemn Iran after the damning evidence that it had shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet headed to Ukraine and Canada in what appears to have been a clumsy response to the drone strike by the US military against a Quds General.
In what appears to be a woke attempt at not upsetting the Iranian leadership and its people, who have held daily angry demonstrations chanting “Death to the rest of the world”, the leaders of Canada, the US and France have indicated that they accept that Iran (which previously denied shooting down the plane) is a nice, peaceful country which doesn’t want to hurt anyone and it was all a big, embarrassing mistake.
Cynics have questioned whether this view is an unfair and cruel fiction, intended, laudibly, to avoid escalating tensions in the Middle East, but, wrongly dismissing the 167 passengers on the plane as simply victims of an accident, who were inconveniently in the wrong place at the wrong time rather than victims of murder.
Meanwhile, Iran, itself, blamed America for the deaths of the passengers, saying they died as a result of “American adventurism” but refusing to be more specific.
