General Abolfazl Shekarchi, a spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, delivered a severe threat: “Trump knows that if any hand of aggression is extended toward our leader, we not only cut that hand but also we will set fire to their world.”

      Am I the only one who read this and immediately played out the scenario in my head like a Billy Mays infomercial pitch?

        Listen, I don’t know how to fly a plane, but if we get all of them on one plane, I absolutely volunteer to be the pilot. I only need to handle the takeoff part and the parachuting part, so I figure it won’t take as long as most for me to pick up what I need.

          Use the plane Qatar gave him. Plenty of space there. It apparently only has seats for about 90 despite the model being able to carry 400. They can use Ryanair-like seating… the floor.

            I’m totally willing to risk myself fucking up the parachuting part just to add some certainty to the desired “landing”.

              Do it Saw-style. Give them each a parachute, that they have to pack themselves. They can make their own decision, and they have the means to solve it themselves of they choose.
