Politics Gulf of Oman tanker attack

[SlyPokerDog]

Something feels off about this. Not sure it's Iran but instead someone wanting us to think it is.

Apparently the oil companies have immediately raised prices. Fucks.

Entirely possible it is Iranians, but not the government per se. No doubt there are factions there that want war as badly as the John Boltons here do.

I was reading about this and was trying to think when that last time there were attacks like this on oil tankers. Besides this year, I couldn't think of any..

Yayayayayayayayaya!!!!!

Go BOLTON.

To hell that is. Bolton being brought in was the day I stopped hoping Trump would follow through on getting us out of the wars. But I'm still a trumpee to some of the morons who post here.

Let's all talk about Kellyanne and the Hatch Act as a diversion.......

Bolton needs to be in Guantanamo.

I do not think we have to talk only about one of the failures of this administration at a time. If the administration can create parallel shit-storms - it is fine talking about all of them.

The hatch act stuff with Kellyanne is stupid. This stuff is real. How many wars will we tolerate? Infinite as long as they don't happen in America it seems.

It doesn't matter if they are 100 percent Iran or 100 percent faked to look like Iran. With Bolton around we all know what the response will likely be.

Bolton has wanted war with Iran forever. I saw a quote from Trump not too long ago about how he kept Bolton calm or something to the effect. Bolton is every Joe Pesci mob movie character, an out of control violent psychopath.

Yes, I think you did. Me too.
But What has Bolton to do with these attacks?

The dude knows more about the how shit goes there than about anyone so he makes a good advisor to Trump. But man, his leash in not long enough to start a War.
Trump ain't starting a war, I expect him to be the last guy to do that shit. Iran may screw up and set one off, but I don't see Trump chomping down on any bait,
no matter what the hell Bolton says.

Naw, a couple tankers on fire is nothing to go to war about. That's like the gulf of Tonkin bullshit. No! Not very Trumpy.

How the fuck is someone (other than the ones allowed to by law) using a federal job platform to sway an election not a real thing? It is at the core of democracy.
