This is one of the crazy things to me. The U.S attacked a foreign country. Then, that country fearing it was being attacked launched a missile at something it thought was a threat. The U.S. caused Iran to take a defensive posture and be fearful of flying objects. How is the U.S. not directly responsible for that downed plane?

- evanlivingston 6y agoThat's the thread of a great question we should be asking ourselves. "How has the behavior of the U.S. effected the global response to COVID?" I feel like your question only furthers my point that aggressive and confrontational foreign policy has a multitude of unintended consequences.

Eventually you'd get to something like, given the first man was obviously doing something bad for the first woman, how can it not be the woman-kind's fault?
