I'm wondering if the left is gonna step out on a limb and talk about what they think should be done about Iran shooting down our plane.

Or, do you think they are simply waiting to complain bout what ever Trump does?

What do YOU think USA should do?

You well know that trump and co started this. Pulling out of the agreement solely because it was something obama was part of.
I think trump is being manipulated by his war chiefs. Bolton lives for this. Hopefully re election is more important to him than looking "strong".
What *should* he do? Relax the sanctions and re enter the deal he so ignorantly left.
None of us know who did what to those tankers. And none of us know where that drone was. Personally, i think we are all being lied to.
We have no ally support for military retaliation. If we strike, we go alone. And for what? To take control of their oil? Spoils of war? Trump said during his campaign that is what we should have done in iraq.
He's an idiot...bottom line.

There was no upside for USA.
Iran did not allow verification.

@Budwick no downside either. Tensions were muted until trump backed out. And the sanctions are strangling them. How is that going to calm things?
You would wiggle too if you were being left in the basement.

@Budwick 'Iran did not allow verification.' - Do you just make this stuff up or what ?

"Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the global nuclear watchdog, continuously monitor Iran's declared nuclear sites and also verify that no fissile material is moved covertly to a secret location to build a bomb.
Iran also agreed to implement the Additional Protocol to their IAEA Safeguards Agreement, which allows inspectors to access any site anywhere in the country they deem suspicious." - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-33521655

Furthermore , and even after Trump reneged on the agreement , the Iranians are still being monitored and , upto now , have been judged to be in full compliance.
