houthis have been tossing around missiles for years, not that effective, but it gets press.

Really? You didn’t read the article.

The same official also said in the days prior to the attack, a US reaper drone was shot down in the Red Sea by what is believed to be an Iranian missile fired by Houthi rebels.

ETL speaks:

*”These creeps are fake FReepers. Should have been booted off of here a long time ago. Can’t for the life of me understand why they haven’t been.”*

*”It’s a known fact that Russia has paid trolls working various social media sites. So it’s only logical to assume that they’d be on a major site like this one. That said, not all of these fools are likely being paid for it.”*

Me:
Jack boots vs boot lickers. Yawn. Every day is hackneyed Trope Day.
I was thinking, “What happened to all the old FReepers I used to know. FReeped with? Had get togethers with?”

Then I realized a lot of them have died- Basil, The_Sarce, a bunch of others of my H.A.T. and H.O.T. TX FReeper Compatriots. Attention all cranky bitter Divisive name calling zot screaming Freepers. Please stop.

It’s like a Junior high mean girls redux around here. Yes, it is Hugh and Series.

First I heard of this yesterday, the news had it that the tankers had been torpedoed by Iranian submarines and the US Navy was after them.

Nah those subs were on a mission of exploration for Saddam's WMD's

Could be. The question is, who? My moneys on Saudis. They’re trying to target Iran wit a false flag the way Jussie was demonizing MAGA people with his false flag

Posted in a previous thread:

“#2: Every limpet mine ever made has “non-removal devices” built in, so that if anybody tries to pry it off without going through a complex series off steps known only to the maker and the frogmen...”BOOM!” If the limpet removers were not part of the same gang as the limpet planters, it would have been one (expendable) EOD guy in a 4 meter skiff trying to get it off. Everybody else would have been 500m back.

Soooo, the mines belonged to Iran. Per the above information, only they could remove the mine.

Thank you - too many doing their best to equate LBJ’s Gulf of Tonkin and some of Obama’s crew staging Charlottesville to President Trump - the concern trolls gotta do what concern trolls do - aid and abet the Left...and the deep State by trying to tie fake news to them which would make Trump look silly...
