So this happened: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/14/us-blame...ld-do.html

And the US Navy has released video that supposedly shows an Iranian boat removing a mine from the side of one of the tankers.

But the video is flimsy evidence at best: https://twitter.com/usnavy/status/113936...41984?s=21

There are no dates. No flight data or camera information. They say it's a mine, but it could something else. Iranian? How do you know?

Even IF true, it doesn't mean Iranians PUT it there.


And after the Irak war debacle I am waiting to see what foreign intelligence agencies and governments have to say so that I can determine if I think the US government is lying to me or not.

And that is before factoring the small-lobed ferengi sitting in the White House.

Current trust level in my own government: U.S. false-flag op at a the same probability as Iranian attack, Russian op, or Saudi op. (China has nothing to gain from this really, so they're off the hook.) I think that of these groups, the U.S. is the most likely to care the least about an oil spill or two.

I thought the Ferengi was the Commerce Secretary. (As the newly-ex-Press-Secretary returns to Nal Hutta to spend more time with her kajidic...)

Strange as it seems to say, the Antipresident has too much hair to be a Ferengi. Perhaps a Bothan who lost most of his body fur to mange?

And of course those who have a lot to gain from a U.S.-Iran conflict are throwing gas into the fire:

I thought the gas was already on fire?
