The traitor Donald Trump, who wants to send tens of thousands of our boys to die in a completely insane war against Iran that has no other purpose than to make ■■■■ feel safer, is going around on the shows.
He is openly accusing Iran of being responsible for this attack on two Japanese ships.
The US is claiming a mine was responsible for the explosion, and says Iranians came back to the ship to pick up a mine that didn’t detonate. They’ve released a video.
This is some kind of psycho warfare nonsense.
Newly today, Japan has said that it wasn’t a mine that bombed the ships, and that it’s physically impossible for that to have happened. The media initially said it was a torpedo, but they haven’t been using that word today.
Anyway, shockingly, even the New York Times is calling bullshit on this.
New York Times:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday that intelligence reviewed by American officials showed that Iran was responsible for attacks earlier in the day on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman, a critical waterway for the transit of much of the world’s oil.
Mr. Pompeo did not present any evidence to back up the assessment of Iran’s involvement. The assertion is certain to further fuel tensions between the Trump administration and Iranian leaders, which have been at heightened levels since early May, when the White House announced military movements in response to what American officials have said is an increased threat from Iran.
Speaking at a news conference in Washington, Mr. Pompeo said the sabotage against the two tankers was only the latest in a series of recent violent acts by Iran.
“Taken as a whole, these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to international peace and security,” he said.
The rapid escalation of tensions in early May between the United States and Iran took place around the time that four tankers were damaged by explosions at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, near the Strait of Hormuz. The explosions that occurred in the same areaearly Thursday morning, which forced crews to abandon ship and left one vessel ablaze, were similar to the incidents last month.
Mr. Pompeo and John R. Bolton, the national security adviser, both said late last month that Iran was responsible for those earlier attacks, though neither have presented evidence. On May 30, Mr. Pompeo told reporters that he had seen evidence of Iranian involvement and said “these were efforts by the Iranians to raise the price of crude oil throughout the world.”
Details of the incidents on Thursday have remained murky, as they have for the explosions in May. Given the widespread criticism over the Iraq War and presentation of faulty intelligence that led to it, the Trump administration faces great pressure from Congress, the American public and foreign allies to lay out explicitly any evidence of threatening actions by Iran.
Funny to see the NYT - the ones responsible for hoaxing all of the Iraq intelligence - taking this tone.
But it might not be that surprising. I think they have good reason not to have blood on their hands a second time, and they also have good reason to believe that Trump won’t launch a war based on what they say.
He’s obviously already planning to do it, or he wouldn’t have faked this false flag attack. So the deal is already done.
He’s the deal maker, remember?
He blows up ships and blames it on other people then sends tens of thousands of Americans to die in pointless wars for ■■■■ - that’s his deal.
Fuck.
I am so absolutely disgusted by this disgusting fat old orange man.
May God punish him for this great evil he has committed against our nation.
The good news is that comments sections across the entire internet are being flooded with people saying this is fake, that Trump did it, or Israel or Mike Pompeo or whatever - they’re all the same entity at this point.
Keep commenting everywhere you can, get this meme out there.
With China and Japan involved in all of this, it’s quite possible we could get a real investigation into this attack. I’m sure there’s enough layers of plausible deniability that Trump/Israel couldn’t take a fall for it. But any objective investigation is going to be pointing the finger in their direction.
