Two tankers have been targeted this morning while transiting waters near to Fujairah. Frontline’s fully laden LR 2Front Altair was hit by surface attacks, and an enormous fire ensued forcing the crew to abandon ship. The crew were safely picked up by nearby general cargoship, Hyundai Dubai. Bernhard Schulte’s chemical tanker Kokuka Courageous was also hit.
Equally as true :
A possible motive for the Saudis to somehow be involved.
A possible motive for the US to somehow be involved.
A possible motive for the Iraqis to somehow be involved.
But of course, those three don't fit Bolton's Tonkin Persian Gulf schemes.
I’ve forgotten where I heard this strategy:
When war rages in the middle east, fund the side that’s losing.
And otherwise leave it alone.
I always think of Neda
“We might even, for a change, destroy stuff that costs more than the ordnance we use.”
I hear that! Wasn’t it just last month that we used two F35 JSFs to deliver a million-dollar bomb to the mouth of a cave?
What a waste ... expensive target practice at best.
That is a reversal of about 240 years of US maritime policy standing for free navigation of the seas for all who are not belligerents against the US. This is the reason we have a Navy.
Equally as true:
A possible motive for the Saudis to somehow be involved.
A possible motive for the US to somehow be involved.
Equally as true, eh?
Be honest, do you get paid to push the pro-Russia BS here and maybe on other sites? Or do you do it out of a sincere belief that the Russians are the true force for good in the world?
Funny how this happens just after crude oil prices had dropped sharply the past 2 weeks, and were about to drop below $50
I submit that the Bush neocons are responsible for American troops killed in Iraq.
Why do you want to pay $1 more per gallon? I don't. Hopefully this will resolve peacefully and we'll forget it in a week's time
Lots of Neville chamberlains out this morning.
Wow—are you that much of a warmonger eager to get our troops killed—and unaware how false flags drive modern warfare?
True. Lots of Neville Chamberlains out already.
Not unexpected, a deranged comment like that coming from a Putin-loving creep like you.
BTW, here's your boy Putin sounding and acting a lot like Michael Jackson...
“In the footage, Putin, 53, is shown walking up to a small crowd of tourists in a Kremlin courtyard and crouching down in front of the boy, who appears to be five or six years old.
As the Russian president talks with Nikita for several seconds, he tugs at the boy’s shirt before finally lifting it up and kissing him on his bare stomach.
“He seemed to me very independent, very serious, but at the same time a boy is always vulnerable.
He was very sweet. I’ll be honest: I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten, and that led to the gesture that I made.
There was nothing behind it really,” Putin said, smiling.”
We = USA + Saudi Arabia + UAE + Israel
And probaably + Kuwait + Bharain +Egypt + Jordan
LOL
A lot of countries would benefit greatly from a “Let’s you and him fight” between the US and Iran.
