I assume the assets were in position and ready to go for the last week since the tanker hits. snooze news from the NYT.
++++!
(did you notice that spooky ‘mistake’ alert in GA, FL and SC today?”
Bingo.
I like what you said.
If Trump retaliates, they’ll call him a war-monger; if he doesn’t, they’ll accuse him of letting Iran threaten us without him doing anything about it. No matter what he does, liberals will criticize him.
Poker.
I think you hit on the real situation. I think Russia is working with Iran and the drone hit was done to set a trap for the U.S. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Russian mobile launcher used to send up one of their surface-to-air missiles to destroy the drone. President Trump got confirmation of this situation today and held back on a response to gather more information and lay a proper response. God help the Russians if they are involved.
See Tanker Wars
Looks like a Saudi false-flag operation.
there are Jews in Iran as well. Besides, stop the anti-semitism and blaming Jews for everything. This is purely the Saudis angsty about the Iranians
There are many, many synagogues in Iran. Being a Jew is protected in Iran. In contrast, how many synagogues or Jews are in Saudia? Even foreign Jews? Zero
Well gee just knowing that makes me like Iran more than Saudi Arabia, NOT!
Iran should just cut it out. Something tells me Trump won’t be so nice next time.
Very testy over a sarcastic remark aimed at someone else you totally missed the point obviously which is why sarcasm and satire are so seldom used these days - people just no longer can understand it in the rush to say something - anything.
Reporters and editors that report stuff like this when we are on the verge of war should be shot . No mercy . If not by LEO’s then by the people. We have to totally STOP this open , defiant , treason.
Assuming the information wasn’t leaked on purpose then you are absolutely correct.
