    Gulf of Tonkin 2.0.

    The Moustache and the rest of the neocons will have their war for oil, innocent lives be damned.

    One thing our leaders can always count on, the people lapping up the neocon war vomit, Dem and Republicans alike

    It has all the hallmarks of a false flag.

    - Makes zero sense for Iran to do it.

    - Makes 100% sense for the warmongers in the West to do it.

    Once you learn about Gladio, stuff like this makes sense.

    Maybe we should just sink entire Iranian navy. That would ensure this never happens again.

    If it’s the Russians then there is another method - full economic blockade. The US controls major semiconductors and software developers. Shut Russia off international banking, revoke all flying right, order Microsoft, Google, apple and others to disable all of their software on machines located in Russia (which will cripple all businesses), prohibit American semiconductor companies like Intel and AMD from licensing any boards with their product for sale in Russia. There are lots of other things that could be done too. That alone will disable most of computers and all smartphones in Russia, bringing their businesses and banking to the halt and inflict major recession.
    Russia’s economy is just 2% of the world GDP. Crippling Russia without firing a single shot would be pretty easy.

    Except I think at least one of them was Panamanian flagged and registered in the Marshall Islands (a US territory).

    Did you know...according to the Australian media, two oil tankers were "ambushed"
    in the ME recently....apparently I haven't been blamed yet...I suspect it could have been
    Jesse James...or maybe The Sundance Kid...or was it the Cisco Kid....
    now that would "seal" the deal...…:dual:

    Depending on which "fake news" outlet you want to believe, petrol prices in Australia
    are skyrocketing already....but then again some media outlets are suggesting prices may rise
    in a few weeks....dear oh dear...are there only two oil tankers in the world today...what a load
    of bullshit we are fed by our dramatizing, sensationalizing, incompetent media.....
    I wonder how long it takes for a false flag to occur to commence WWIII....
    I wonder what would "seal" that deal.....

    Oh please, the only false flagging in this are tankers registered to Liberia. The Iranians have done this before and the US gave them a hiding.

    Maybe, maybe not. There is no reason to believe Qatar would fight with the Sauds and although the Bahrain Regime was kept in place by the Saud's in order to stop democracy there, they are a majority Shia population and I read could be a problem to the Saud's if they get started on Iran.

    It could also be another example of the Senate voting for they know not what.

    I certainly do not defend the mullahs in Iran or say they are great people without bloody hands etc. ...

    But this one smells very intense of False Flag action from USA, or Saudi Arabia or from Israel. All 3 are known for doing False Flag actions ...
    Sure ... there's this black and white video (a night vision camera?) Showing a boat on the side of a tanker, but that's no proof of Iran's guilt ... even if it's in the US by the Trump administration is claimed.
    Who recorded the video and when it shows who exactly what is doing with proof and evidence?
    Sorry ... it can also be an identical boat, on the agents of the Mossad do the whole, .. and it can be was already 5 weeks ago in the Mediterranean Sea and is now only appropriately "sold" as proof against Iran!

    They apparently have tapes of them doing it but do not want to show us.

    Could this be an accident? This isn't the first time this has happened recently and that area has been mined in the past. Could some "old" mines have broken loose?

    Though it doesn't matter, Trump is going to use this as a precipitating incident if he needs a war to distract us or if he just thinks now is the best time to assume dictatorial power. His toadie's constant bleating about how much we all love him and he can't lose in 2020 notwithstanding he's got to be looking ahead and wondering what is going to happen to Mueller's report and it's 10 counts of obstruction of justice if he's no longer President in 2021.

    This may have been cooked up by Jared and his new BFF Crown Prince Salman. Killing that journalist has shown that the CP can be a useful friend in making reporters worldwide more wary and it's a page right out of Putin's playbook. Was that the first step in turning Saudi into our new Catspaw in the area and is this the next?

    I seem to remember Margot going on about the Houthis mining the area so you could be right.
    well he certainly will need something to get Dictatorship, though most people I read believe it is a Bolton Pompeo thing - both being Christian Zionists, and that Trump does not want war there.

    Why don't we just nuke them while we're at it? You seem to think all the controls in their missiles and even the avionics in their airplanes are controlled directly by us. Hell why don't we just have all their atom bombs land on their own cities, we're in control, right?

    And do they also clearly show with proof that they are actually Iranians and when and where they were recorded with proof?
    Can they be overpotted by a neutral body, if they have been faked, what, e.g. Date and time indicated?

    I am assuming they are just saying it like the did with Syria. It is the US and the UK up to their usual. Though possibly they are still making them! ;)

    You actually believe that I ran waits until the Lincoln is in its waters to attack a tanker? Did you believe in collusion too? What about WMDs and that the Saudis are our friends?

    The cover up was a conspiracy.

    And what about that Saudis still have these bad longer range missiles what disturbs Trump ... and that they maybe have in all secret also WMD's including nuclear warheads via Pakistan.

    :)
