    KSA just said :

    Saudi Arabia to make ‘appropriate’ response if Iran found responsible in oil strike
    https://globalnews.ca/news/5933678/s...iran-response/

    Saudi Arabia will take appropriate steps to respond to an attack on its oil facilities if, as expected, a Saudi investigation confirms that Iran is responsible, a senior official said on Saturday.

    Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir said the probe would prove that the Sept. 14 strikes came from the north and that Iran bore responsibility, a charge Tehran denies.

    “The kingdom will take the appropriate measures based on the results of the investigation, to ensure its security and stability,”
    Jubeir told a news conference, declining to speculate about specific actions.

    Personally I distrust all the players here.. That any, or even all of them were lying would not come as a surprise to anyone..
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Trump strikes right tone in necessary face-off with Iran, says TIM NEWARK


    US President Donald Trump is right to respond to the naked aggression of the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels by sending US troops to Saudi Arabia.

    those are defensive forces to man new Patriot batteries We gotta set up coverage from over Iraq or the Persian Gulf.

    Trump has been remarkably restrained..he's actually being cautious, unlike his free-wheeling domestic side.
    I do worry this is headed to somewhere really really bad however

    Why is it our concern?? fuck them... Most Americans know lil to nothing about the evil house of saud, & those that do despise them..

    Did American men & women come w/ the "great deals" trump did w/ them??

    They are even sheepish about the source of the drones & can't be trusted & you damn well know it.....

    trump wants to withdrawal from the world, the ME is a good place to start...... He has no use for the world order your country left in our hands, so let them work out the details~helping one side over another is merely prolonging the inevitable demise of some..

    They like so many other friends, including Britain have found a new savior along the silk road.....

    Way this is going the USA will be lucky to be a 100year foot note in the annals of history.......

    You'd soon know about it if Iran managed to close off the Straits of Homuz.
