Finally Some One with a Pair of Balls

What's not to believe about a story from an online magazine using quotes from facebook pages of former airmen?

[glalt]

It obviously depends on who is the liar. The facts are verified with satellite photos and the drone was NOT over Iranian waters when it was shot down.

Yes.

Anyone could have written that article by Marjorie Cohn.

The source OF the article doesn't matter if the sources WITHIN the article are legit. With all of the enemies out there with a mission to GET TRUMP, it's a wonder that TruthOut.org is leading this parade in the news world.

When one considers that everyone south and west of the two gulfs and strait are US friends and allies, and considering the purpose of the drone was to surveil the shipping lanes, there's no reason for that highly technical and highly expensive craft to be that close to Iran.

I guess it all goes with the territory. Trump isn't the warmonger his enemies accuse him of being. Trump used restraint in not over-reacting to an unmanned craft. Gotta find SOMETHING to GET TRUMP. Let's say that the drone was either being commanded by some idiot in the US military or that they were unlawfully spying.

Any sane person, after watching the last 3 years of GET TRUMP narratives blowing up all over the place, will realize that they should be skeptical of the alarmist accusations -- again.

I understand the drone was flying innocently over the Gulf of Tonkin when shot down.

from a fly on the wall at White House

Trump: Ok, attack Iran now, just do it!
General Dunford: Iran can sink our Carrier strike group
Trump: What?
General Dunford: If we strike Iran now they can retaliate against thousand of US sailors.
Trump: WTF
General Dunford: This isn’t Syria, Sir
Trump: Call it off Now, just do it!

but it is not over yet and it is best to keep your tank full.

Trump has decided that since the Strait of Hormuz no longer represents a key US interest, due to America's nearly complete self-sufficiency when it comes to energy production, the US is unlikely to continue to defend the strait.

Trump believes that countries that need the strait open should be protecting it themselves.

CBoS get their wish.

UK intercepts and boards Iranian tanker bound for Syria.

The EU has banned oil shipments to Syria since 2011, but this would be the first time a tanker has been seized at sea.

The US is considering canceling the remaining five sanction waivers that Iran still possesses. This move may come as a result of Iran violating what's left of their treaty with the EU.

Those sanctions would be added to existing pressure on Iran's economy.

Finally we have a world leader with the backbone to put Iran in its' place. Now the UK is helping out too. The days on the Iranian despots are numbered. For too long western countries have been lead by spineless wimps who looked the other way. Obama being one of them.

We've seen many times before that regime change in the Middle East can make things worse. No doubt that risk won't deter Bolton and his big balls.

Without citing sources for my stand, I believe that President Trump must do everything within his power and capability to avoid war with Iran. He must not give in to desire of the Deep State and military complex for endless wars.

The irrational rationale “If we don’t fight them over there, we’ll have to fight them over here.” is just wrong. That nonsense has been the Pentagon/Neocon Party Line justification for invading the Middle East and look at where it has led to. More of the same will only add to the general chaos, devastation and loss of millions of innocent lives we have witnessed.

[Giggle]

Trumpy's a lover, not a fighter. Bobo, the Drone Ranger, aka the Messiah, slaughtered more little brown folks than Gengis Kahn. You're also a bit confused about the "military complex." Nobody is happier to avoid war than a soldier who might be sent to fight and be killed in it.

You should thank your lucky stars Trump is the president and not Shill. I do.

Europe continued to want to honor the flawed, bad treaty (that Iran never signed) in order to continue to do business with Iran. I guess it has something to do with that "greed" that LIBs like throw out there when they don't like people making big money.

Now that Iran has announced their intent to violate their agreement with the partners left in the "agreement" -- even though some Europeans were willing to stand by them -- it appears that the EU is now WOKE.

The days/weeks to come will be telling.

Yeah, I had to chuckle about that.

[GT93]

If Trump launches a major attack on Iran it will be interesting to see what other countries get or don't get involved.

It appears that the entertainers at Fox News will be having a big say in whether the US military gets involved.

[Lone Star]

Iran now threatening the UK.

[GT93]

And it's back in the nuke business. Things very messy at present. It's also not clear who is Trump's principal adviser - Tucker Carlson or John Bolton. I think in this rare instance, the Fox News entertainer is more fair and balanced.

[Lone Star]

Iran announces that it intends to violate what's left of the agreement with Europe. The agreement that Iran never signed anyway.

Predictably, the UN blew it off as no big deal.

The UK demanded that Iran “immediately stop and reverse all activities.” Germany stated that they were “extremely concerned.” The EU also weighed in with the same urgency and is considering calling an emergency meeting.

[vlad]

Our Ambasador to the US kim Darroch has ruffled Trumps ego and told what most think about his Administration. As Trump is thin skinned he does not like it 1 bit and will probably bully the uk to withdraw him from the US but we dont like being bullied.

UK stands up to Bullie Boys.

Typical Government BS waste of Oxygen by all involved. This would and should a skit for the people on Saturday Night Live. Give the bunch dummies to spit out. "Immediately Stop, extremely concerned, emergency meeting" all BS

The UN has the best response, Who cares ( eventually all nations will have a device, just like everyone has a car)
