Iran blows up Saudi oil field???

Yes, a Saudi oil field got blown up. But by Iran?

Why would anyone believe shit like this announced from this White House? Did Iran do it? Who knows. But the criminals occupying the White House are hardly a reliable source.

As of now, the U.N. has not issued any statement as to who was responsible. So any sane person can't help but think that this was pure Trump bullshit put out there as an excuse to attack Iran.

When 99.9% of everything from this White House turns out to be a lie, why believe crap thrown out there by people who have zero credibility?

disliked by imperialists. The West led by the US is judge, juror and executioner. International law be damned.
I have my own suspicions about who did this.

8. If the Twit told me Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941 I'd think it a lie.

That's the trouble with a liar that also has only the smallest grasp on reality. Not one word can be trusted.

And for Republicans, this is the whole plan.

in Yemen claiming they did it. But there appears to also be evidence that the attack originated in Iraq. Of course trump and his ass-lickers probably don't know the difference.

On the other hand the Iranian government supports the Houti. Iran is mostly Shi'a, most of the ME is Sunni, the Houti in Yemen are neither,...

jeeze.... What would Ibn Arabi say if here here today ?

Of course Iran is part of it to some degree since the rebels are Iran backed, just like U.S. is involved to some degree in Saudi attacks against the rebels. That's how proxy wars work.

the lie can take hold before the truth is revealed. That's how propaganda works. That's how wars start. That's how countless people die.

Don't buy bullshit and lies. And don't wait for the MSM to confirm that you're hearing bullshit and lies. Think!

waiting for the source of the Drones. Was it a Iranian copy of a US Drone? Or was it a Black Market Russian or other National Drone?

Which ever,the Saudi Kingdom is falling in slow motion. Are we seeing a payback or a realignment of Mid East Power.

There was a Editorial News type story in our Review Journal yesterday,and this paper is owned by Adelson,and the story claims Israel is on War Footing. And as per the article,this could happen at any time. Remember,Israel has elections coming up in a week or so.
