Yep, there sure are lots of squirrels around in the news these days. This particular story may or may not be one. WhiteHut cocaine and cluster munitions, as well.

However, at this point, the distractions seem to be distracting from other distractions, losing sight of the original(s).

“SQUIRREL!....”

Sometimes a oil production facility explosion is just a oil production facility explosion
It happens, and oil is important
Not every event is part of some grand conspiracy .
