Trump: US locked and loaded for response to attack on Saudis

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!”

Dunno. Ezekiel 38 doesn’t seem too far off. There is definitely a convergence. Makes me wonder if I shouldn’t expand my works but it would take several miracles to do that. Several.

There is definitely a LOT going on right now.

We certainly do know this: When Ezekiel 38 happens, Iran tries to destroy Israel. Fails BIG TIME due to God’s intervention. Sheba and Dedan (Saudi Arabia) protest the invasion. Perhaps only protest, no war effort to stop it.

That all fits with where this is headed. And he we are on the eve of the election in Israel, too.

The tinfoil will no doubt say Bibi made Iran do this for - well, you know.

Just as an aside, that is an amazing picture

[GOPJ]

But why aren’t all the other nations saying they want to protect oil too? Why should the U.S. get dragged into war? Let the Sauds start getting other nations to help them besides the U.S.

Works for me...

I was a Christian who warned against looking into revelation and prophecy...

I still think the best way is to just live a good life. Help people.

But, I am starting to think prophecy is important. Insomuch, some people are working towards it. From several different factions...

[bkopto]

In fact, some of them view us as CATTLE.

[But, I am starting to think prophecy is important. Insomuch, some people are working towards it. From several different factions..]

Yes. I think it becomes more important as we approach those times. I'm all for the good works you described.

I use it to prove that God is real and the Bible is His Word.

Granted, it's a pretty crazy topic.

It's quite obvious we're at a time when a Mark of the Beast could determine if you could buy or sell. Doesn't fit our Leftist political agenda? Fine. We'll starve you to death. Make you unemployable. Ruin your reputation. Ban you from Youtube. Ban you from Twitter.

And it's quite obvious that nations and media are suppressing Christianity and the Scripture.

Yes, they've done so for centuries but they're O.K. with anything BUT the Bible and those "fundamentalist Christians". These were direct attacks on Christianity. And the spirit of antichrist people loved it. The Devil intended to fundamentally-transform America. He had a false prophet to do the work.

Chinese currency is worthless and the Euro is volatile. Zero chance they ever dump the dollar.

Perhaps President Trump will first explain why the U.S. has any reason to respond to an attack on Saudi Arabia.

That would be nice, but there are far too. many people willing to give him a blank check on military action, and there are far too many who benefit financially from sending American troops off to die for the Saudis.

[af_vet_rr]

Because we have a security pact/agreement with them...

The Saudis started this by invading Yemen. Let them dig their way out, instead of the US being the attack dog on a leash held by a bunch of rich Sunni Muslims.

[af_vet_rr]

Any “security pact” we have with them was signed by U.S. political leaders who were bought and owned by the Saudi royal family. I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 because I’m sick of living in a country run by Sunni Muslims.

Amen!

prophecy is important. God wanted us to know what would happen ahead of time or He wouldn’t have wasted our time telling us. I find it amazing He lets us in on the plan ahead of time!

[streetsmart]

No No No
My GOD the Saudis have an air force quite capable of responding. Ms Lindsay needs to shut up, and Little Marco too. Good Grief...

If the United States had not stupidly followed the idiotic plan of Henry Kissinger, none of the middle eastern countries would have enough wealth nor a great enough population to export terrorism.

Wars like the Iran/Iraq war would have been the norm and the Islamic countries would pour every dime into them.

[MrEdd]

Pot, kettle.

Stop digging.

I was young when Kissinger was a big influence. I'm genuinely curious -- what was Kissinger's plan that we followed?

[ClearCase_guy]

Because we have a security pact/agreement with them...

George Washington warned against foreign entanglements.
And one of the big lessons of WWI was that secret (or non-secret) pacts of mutual assistance can turn small problems in the Balkans into raging catastrophes that consume millions of lives.

The US should not have security pacts with other nations.

Not a war hawk but when the price of oil jumps to $150bbl, and $4.50/gal gas, because our past “masters” in this country have blocked our own ability to extract oil from our own land and build state of the art oil refineries, there’s you answer.
