A weekend drone attack on Saudi Arabia that cut into global energy supplies and halved the kingdom’s oil production threatened Sunday to fuel a regional crisis, as the U.S. released new evidence to back up its allegation that Iran was responsible for the assault amid heightened tensions over Tehran’s collapsing nuclear deal.
President Donald Trump said the U.S. had reason to believe it knew who was behind the attack — his secretary of state had blamed Iran the previous day — and assured his Twitter followers that “we are ... locked and loaded” depending on verification and were waiting to hear from the Saudis as to who they believe was behind the attack and “under what terms we would proceed!”

Haha! Exactly!
They keep changing the story when they cannot answer questions.
Exactly. F them.
I for one also refuse to believe that one little drone could HALVE the Saudi oil production. BS
They would also be in violation of their treaty with the U.S. to trade oil is U.S. Dollars.
Hence the name, the Petro dollar.
I see now your post was not intended for me.
Alberta’s Child is a nationalist of convenience. Mention tariffs and see how much of an isolationist he really is.
Jefferson was also a big fan of the Tariff Act.
Define war. Decapitating the Iranian Air Force, missile force, navy and nuclear production facilities is not as war.

Trump does this and he loses me and I will be an active advocate against him. He will lose the election for sure in spectacular fashion
Too many here don’t allow room for discussion of important details. You haven’t seen or heard what a response might look like or arguments from Trump as to why it may be justified. Yet, its your way or the highway. Did you make the same claim to advocate against Trump before we committed strikes on Assad? Or is this just the never Trump threat of the day?
so are we seeing the hook in the jaw to draw the appointed nations into the ezekiel 38 war?
That would be incredible if that is it.
The timing of everything happening simultaneously is insane (Israeli Elections, Gaza/Hamas, Iranian aggression, Syria, Turkish-Russian relations, etc).
Not to mention Libra, Francis and his talking points, tracking technology, and everything else.
You either trust our President or you don’t. You clearly do not. If you can’t love his America, find the door.
No. Wrong answer. We exist as a country for the benefit and protection of our citizens. Global this and Global that be damned.
I call your attention to the Afghanistan-Iraq nation-building, democracy-spreading shock-and-awe futilities.
And you want to do it again? Because some oil facilities got bombed in Saudi Arabia?
Fix the facilities and let the Saudis go to war if they have the stomach.
All the M.E. has is oil and Muslims, and we don’t need either of them.
What the hell are you babbling about today?
“Trust Sessions!” Oh, wait a minute ...
Interesting. If you don’t live absolutely everything Trump does you need to leave the country. Overall Trump is doing a good job and he is far better than Hilary would have been but he has also made some bad decisions. Anyone who can’t see that is worshipping a false god
One of these times we will see the spark that ignites the long prophesied war.... It is not far off
