Doesn’t look like those pallets of cash Obama paid Iran to be the Deep State’s Army and start a war as an ‘insurance policy’ to PREVENT WHAT’S COMING is providing much bang for the bucks.

Bagster's theory on Iran.

Iran finds itself running out of friends.

In the middle east, they are up against the Saudi/Egypt/Israeli juggernaut.

I personally believe that The Donald has worked Putin into backing off support (to a degree) in a combined effort to defeat the deep state.

It SEEMS that even the EU derps are backing off them a bit.

China? I have no theory there. But it would seem they would love to move in and get a toehold into the middle east. But would they risk pissing off the rest of the world?

Anyway. Now we have this thing.

I think a couple of missiles and sunken raggedy ships should to the trick. Hopefully by somebody other than US.

They do need a spanking, lest they get even more froggy and come after our ships or people.

And that is my theory so far.

I see it has been pulled. Guess death threats aren’t acceptable.

Annnd... It’s gone.

I read that China had refused docking of Iran’s crude6 oil carriers and they were sitting on the high seas without a delivery schedule... essentially stopping exports. On Putin it is speculative by Iranian proxies openly the past few weeks that IDF strikes were not being targeted nor tracked for engagement by Russian operated or Russian provided ADA and advanced weaponry. Evidence proves continued Israeli attacks on Iranian or proxies without Russian protest or protection since the Putin Israeli meetings recently.

US is peeping for extended military action in ME with overt presence in Pacific.

Here’s another post about the limpet mines:

Coincidence or foreshadowing. The Incredible Mr. Limpet was on a couple of days ago (I believe TCM). It seemed strange at the time.

But, was this a suggestive reminder, intended for the American viewing audience, and intentionally placed by the Deep State. Without this showing, the public at large wouldn’t know what a limpet mine was.

Could the placement of the mines be the Deep State trying to draw Trump into war?

It was the MSM and the Dems that beat the drums of war loudly about weapons of mass destruction, during the Bush administration, and then both turned on on a dime and accused Bush of dragging the US into war, and lying to the American People.

To top it off, it was an attack on Japanese assets, using the same type of mine employed against the Japanese during WWII, all while the Japanese representative was in Iran.
