Maybe Eugene's just a racist and assumes that any sort of provocation towards someone of Middle Eastern descent is guaranteed to only result in violence because it's the only thing that they're capable of and they're not able to resort to any other type of response. The Iranians were perfectly capable of just ignoring this or responding in a plethora of other ways, but they responded violently.I don't understand how someone can take the time to write all of that out without some kind of internal logic hiccup making them realize how ridiculous it all sounds. The exact same kind of mentality is present in someone who blames a cop for shooting a criminal who was firing a gun at them, and it makes just as little sense on a global scale as it does on a small one.
There's no coherent sane way to blame Trump for a foreign country shooting down a flight belonging to a third country. Or for funeral goers trampling each other to death for that matter. There's no sane worldview that makes this Trumps fault. Even if the USA had assassinated Soleimani for no good reason and in cold blood (which isn't true), that doesn't excuse anyone rioting and shooting down planes. I know it shouldn't surprise anyone at this point just how absurd people sound when talking about how much they hate Trump, but for some reason I'm still shocked and confused at how anyone could be so internally inconsistent and intellectually dishonest.
The whole thing kinda reminds me of an oldschool redneck feud. You know the type. Like the kind when Billybob heads over to burn down Cletus's shed, but he spills the gas can and lights his own truck on fire instead. But then instead of blaming Billybob, everyone gets mad at Cletus for making him mad enough to burn down his own truck.
That's how stupid Eugene Gu sounds right now.
Maybe Eugene just thinks that's all that they can do.
