NYT Reporter Applauds Iran For Showing ‘More Restraint’ Than U.S.
By Kyle Drennen | January 13, 2020 5:47 PM EST
Appearing on MSNBC Live With Ali Velshi Monday afternoon, New York Times foreign correspondent Rukmini Callimachi slammed the United States as a country that takes action “outside the law,†while praising Iran for supposedly showing “more restraint†amid tensions in the Middle East.
After Velshi suggested the U.S. killing of leading Iranian terrorist Qasem Soleimani somehow violated international law, Callimachi ranted: “And the perception of America right now, I would say, in the Middle East, is that we act outside the law.

We fired, what, 2 missiles. How many has Iran fired, so far?
Just NYTpicking, I know.

I'll bet the passengers on that Ukraine Airlines flight appreciated Iran's restraint.
-
How is shooting down an airliner and 180-plus souls in an act of mendacity or incompetence (take your pick) a sign of "restraint"?

Spot On.
And add all their relatives in the Ukraine, Canada and a few other assorted, and sundry flyover countries.

I wonder what caused the line in the vegetation the guy in the red jacket is stepping over? (Scroll right to get the right edge of the picture)

How does this supposed jounalist overlook past actions by Iran of murder and terrorism showing restraint?
We did not kill Qasem Soleimani because of what he was doing. We killed him for what he did in the past and acted in order to prevent any future action by him.

Looks like something got moved. Rectangular. Hmm. Something about that pic is a red flag. Can't quite place it. Staged debris?

It may be a shadow from something outside the frame.

That's what I am thinking. Maybe a shipping container got taken out of the field. There is no shadow from outside the frame, the grass just stops there. Some sunlight would mean an uneven edge, not a straight line with an apparent 90 degree angle at the end.

Restraint? ...Iran, the same folks that arrested the fellow for daring to post the video that showed them bombing the plane. Yeah, restraint my butt.
