Why do I get the feeling of a setup. Perhaps trying to cause a flare up to get POTUS to react and create a dilution to the stream of Muller stuff coming out?

It could be Iranians.

You think that these two countries are playing around with actions that could lead to war because they give a flying #### about this whole mess over here??!!?!?!?!?

I am worried about the REAL concern.

Countries over there AND military equipment companies wanting boots on the ground again, this time against Iran.

That’s the real threat.

suspicion is always justified when it comes to things like the Tonkin Gulf....

but we must remember just how threatening, hostile, and dangerous (now that Obama protected and financed their nuclear bomb and ICBM factories)

I’ve always been of the view that its far better to put a stop to threatening enemies before they actually carry out their threats against you

and it is sure far, far less expensive in lives (and $)

done right, that is....

“Why do I get the feeling of a setup. “

Yeah. Once again we get lead by the ring in our noses.

There’s probably a feeling among Iranian leaders that Trump is unwilling to mount a serious operation against them. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Iranians did actually attempt to block the Persian Gulf. Just as Reagan’s pullout from Lebanon after 200 Marines were killed in an Iranian-sponsored Hezbollah attack prompted the Iranian mining of the Gulf, Trump’s non-invasion of Venezuela may prompt Iran’s government to plug up the oil supply from his Gulf Arab neighbors. They don’t have much to lose, given the amount of economic pain they are about to endure, thanks to a complete shut-off of their oil exports caused by the cessation of the oil import waivers granted to various buyers (India, China, et al) of Iranian oil.

Why do I have a feeling we have a sub just waiting to rock their world the second they think they are capable of attacking us?

Iran is the existential enemy of the UAE.

An attack on the UAE will result in attacks by the IAF

By secret treaty, the enemy of my enemy is my friend

False flag. Lure Trump into war then accuse him of broken promises.
