Not officially.

One of the things I’ve like about President Trump is that he hasn’t seemed to be overly swayed by the neocon warmongers who think we should have an empire (800 bases in 90 countries is an empire) and attack anyone who *might* be a threat to us preemptively.

A statement like this is so inappropriate it qualifies as mentally disturbed. Get off the Internet and seek help now.

This information originated with the US Navy.

As if that makes it any more trustworthy. LOL.

“divert an Iranian mine”

Not what happened, divers somehow attached limpet mines on a moving ship, that’s quite a trick.

“Hezbollah” “a wildcat attack”

Hezbollah does not have a diver support ship in the area, Iran does.

Rather than insulting me, why don't you read what I said. Yes, China is buying Iranian oil (I said so in my post), but they need far more oil than they can buy from Iran. Let that sink in for a while! They need far more oil than Iran can supply.

Now India, China and Japan all have economies that critically need oil from the Middle East that is shipped through the Strait of Hormuz.

Now what would be “retarded” about China protecting the flow of non-Iranian oil to their Country, especially if there might be political benefits in relations with other countries?

Thanks for posting Ike’s prescient words. He saw it coming, as Washington foresaw our R/D Uniparty, warned of in his farewell address.

“Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel...” On that, one thing Ike didn’t mention: pubic school indoctrination.

One more thing. Our “greatest generation” is basically gone. The people that participated in and lived through WWII, and its destruction and death and sadness. Military and gov leaders that wanted no more of that Hell on Earth.

Now, we’ve got big $$$ operators, and they’ll take us into another WW.
