    Trumpy just got his excuse to start bombing Iran.

    Don't worry, there's lots more oil where that came from.

    Who is shooting at them. Rebels forces, terrorist forces, Iranians, pirates?

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    Didn't Iranians say - if our oil doesn't get past Straits, nobody's oil goes past.

    Screw Brexit, fuel inflation is where it's at.

    and to top it all off, pissing in the wind is also actually a form of pollution.

    Bombs planted by a covert U.S. military unit.
    Trump will be on that aircraft carrier in the Gulf yet.

    Most of the world going on about the climate emergency and boys with toys still interested in war games.

    Wonder whose behind this version of ' gulf of Tonkin incident'.

    ...it's either CIA, Mossad or a Saudi unit or all of them collaborating together.

    The west is run by Mafia style criminals now.

    Looks like the plot of the practically unknown, but really rather good, 80s TV movie Countdown to Looking Glass (full movie here on Youtube) is coming true! Suffice to say it doesn't end well in the movie........

    One of the tankers 'hit' is Japanese owned, the Japanese PM is in Tehran today.
    Make your own minds up folks.

    Not since battlefield 3.


    To be fair to this, I have my doubts about Iran doing it. They have a lot to lose.

    Smells like Mossad to me. Iranians have nothing to gain from this attack.

    Maybe it was Greenpeace to highlight Japans return to “commercial” whaling, though blowing up an oil tanker might not be very environmentally friendly :pac:

    It seems Trumpy's talks with Boris Johnson during the state visit were a success.

    I'm saying the above because I well believe that the orchestrated recent events wouldn't have happened without it.
    Trump will have his war with the backing of Britain.

    Hypocrite honouring veterans of D Day. All the while the hawks were planning on starting a war of their own.
    And the people of Doonbeg will kiss his ass while bombs are dropped on people in Iran.

    Excellent this distraction is just what we need to send our fleet to Rockall.

    All I can say is Theresa May doesn't give a fig now. Bet she is glad to be gone from all this shyte. Timing is everything.

    Boris can deal with it now. Assuming he will be the next pm. If it turns out to be anything dangerous, he can deal with it. Assuming he is the anointed one.

    I think there is a strong possibility Iran is going to be attacked...all this bellicose talk and false flags look like the build up to it.
    I expect Iran to put up a good show, but doubt it can hold out long term...unless some of the great powers come to it's aid.
    Oil prices of course will skyrocket probably causing another world economic recession.

    There's a plague of locusts in the Med currently, and an actual plague (Ebola) spreading in afrika, if you see those 4 horsemen on the horizon, maybe bottle up the tap water.
