Well, regardless of what you think of their politics, thatโs a huge loss for a country with the position Iran is in right now. I hope they manage to keep calm and prevent foreign shit starting.
Itโs mind boggling to me that lemmygrad is the only place Iโve yet seen anyone show some sort of respect for a world leader dying in a violent accident. Everywhere in the media and online all Iโm seeing is people glad heโs dead. As if heโs ever done anything to any of us to deserve that.
Thereโs a pretty long list of other world leaders who if they went out violently like this, Iโd be all ripbozo smoking on the prez pack. Unfortunately, Raeisi is not one of them.
Wasnโt he pretty involved in the suppression of women? All Iโve read is that he generally wasnโt well liked by any group of the citizenry of Iran
I can understand people feeling concern for Iranโs people and trajectory during a tumultuous time like this, but I donโt think anyone should feel bad heโs gone. He wasnโt a good person
That an interesting way of looking at it. If you can find any purity argument for why a politician wasnโt progressive (he wasnโt btw) then itโs a good thing for them to just go up in a fireball. Politics by process of elimination! Say, Yemenis invited Jackson Hinkle to a Zoom conference. Maybe they should go die, too, because theyโre more backward than you and the removeds got to them first! Hell, my favorite Burkina Faso reporting account randomly veers into Christian grimposting about gay people (me).
Just ignore all context for why people are nervous about this in the first place (Iran is playing a critical role in breaking the illusion of US hegemony and this could even be a pointless assassination)! Woo hoo! Billionaire down!
Itโs not like this is going to make the political situation better in Iran if you view it that way. Now he will be memorialized for dying in the midst of a great struggle.
All Iโve read is that he generally wasnโt well liked by any group of the citizenry of Iran
I donโt know where youโve read that but i think youโre about to find out that that was a lie when you see the size of the crowds that will come out to mourn him.
Edit: And as i predicted: โMillions of Iranians rallied across the country to pay their final respects to the late President Raisi.โ
Interesting string of coincidences with a plot on Vucic, attempt on Fico, and now this.
I didnโt want to put on my tinfoil hat and go all conspiracy theory on this but I was thinking the same
Vuฤiฤ could go honestly ASAPโฆ They also faked โโassassinationโโ attempts on him multiple times in media over the years to the point where it became a meme, examples include: alleged plan to snipe him where they put a cut photo of him visiting weapon exhibition, other one to allegedly blow him up with a rocket launcher, grenade launcher, mine etc etc.
You know scratch-that, just oof the entire Balkan political scene, this is 9th circle of hell.
This hurts. I really wish the best for the iranian people. Even through this tough times, I hope they can come stronger from this.
R.I.P.
Is the cause known yet? Because if someone form foreign country caused this, there could be unseen consequences.
Helicopter crashed into a mountain in basically zero visibility fog. Chuck Shumer said that the is suspected no foul play. Sounds to be just an accident. If I remember, this is what brought down Kobes helicopter too
Oh, yes itโs the same thing as Kobe. So nothing then for now.
But what about other 2 helicopters which were flying alongside, how did they not crash?

Probably had more experience with flying by instruments only, or they were just being more cautious.
With rotary aircraft, instrument experience varies a lot more from pilot to pilot than fixed wing, that and fixed wing aircraft have a lot more altitude to cushion any mistakes of an inexperienced pilot.
Itโs plausible that this was perpetrated by a foreign entity or even an internal struggle for power, and that the Iranian state knows. It is plausible that the state would still not make this information public. The state and its allies (Syria) has a history of concealing information on this scale, because publicizing this information may make the state look weak, or have the people demanding a military response, which may be unnecessary escalation.
