Literally the first thing the dubya admin did, right after the inauguration, was to establish the Cheney Energy Task Force, which planned privatization of Iraqi oil by US companies, without bidding, over a year before the 2003 war. The outcome was a bunch of contracts that companies close to the administration "won" and made money from.

The full plan for taking over the Iraqi oil deposits by no-bid "privatization" to US companies did eventually fall apart, but to pretend plunder plans weren't the main reason for the war is just ridiculous in the face of so many long-established facts to the contrary.

You must have missed the January 3rd joint operation of the Little Cartel of Rodriguez and the Trump crime family in Venezuela and the "oil deal", which trumpy thought will apply in Iran as well.

Ah, well, your disconnect with reality is well-known.

It used to be the case that the testing permits for drones (esp. small ones) were easier to obtain, but the rules were recently tightened across the board. Be that as it may, for an aircraft of this size the paperwork needed by the Chinese FAA equivalent is nearly identical to the one for a manned unit.

You'll definitely need an air worthiness certification, which is hard to get and identical for both types. For the normal airplane, you'll also need a licensed pilot, for the drone - a licensed/certified operator, which would be a bit less strict, but not significantly so. You'll also need air traffic control approval, etc.

TL;DR: nearly the same requirements.

In the head of your president? Absolutely. And, as your other plundering president, The Decider, said once, he's the decider :)

Paper? How quaint, these days new money is just a record in a datacenter, no physical limits on how much you can make. Hence the "AI" boom and its other side, the 40 trillion debt and the need for wars of plunder.

better use than putting failing toilets on an aircraft carrier to plunder other peoples' oil.

Ah, the orange shitgibbon, your idol, who wants to "take the oil", but despite burning through two hundred billion still can't manage.

What an impotent, just like his handler from the SVR, one mr. putin.

Has trump "taken the Iranian oil" yet?

No.

Then your little war of aggression isn't quite panning out.

Yes, it means you're full of shit.

So, how is it, have the bad Iranians given in yet? Is the complete victory announced 3 weeks ago complete now? Give us the full, true insight from the "Iranian sources", don't hold anything back.

You could even link to them, whether Yisrael Hayom, Maariv, TrufSoshul or the Babylon bee.

yo, propaganda shill, are the threats of your war criminal working?

and since you know so well what happened, I presume you write from the trenches, and not the stinky basement where the online trolls factories live, eh?

lol

No, I'm not going to get surprised.

The modus operandi of the trumpistani empire is plunder.

We'll see who FO in the end. Iraq, basically the same plunder attempt based on a fake story about "WMDs" was such a smashing success, after all.

Keep lying, little Goebbels. But no, the war with Iran isn't about the "nukes" fantasy.

It is about plunder. From the horse's mouth:

Sorry, that's the only available reality.

Repeat that lie 100 more times, little Goebbels, see if it holds.

Your cheftain: I want to take their oil!

This is the only reason why Iran is under attack - plunder.

What is not like I already claimed, idiot?

Because he's fucking stupid. He believed his Zionist handlers who told him Iran will fold. Now that the little victorious war isn't going the way it was supposed to and there is no way out, the orange amoeba is in a fix.

So he escalates.

Eventually, he'll escalate to nuclear, simply because he's fucking stupid.

A true American, as it is.

Ah, I see it now, you're a bit of a reality denialist.
