False flag is false.
ReplyDeleteWho would believe a single word that comes from the US government?
ReplyDeleteThe State Department released a video taken by a drone or aircraft that presumably shows an Iranian military boat removing an unexploded device from the hull of one of the tankers. The military boat looks more like a deep-sea fishing yatch but what would I know? Meanwhile, back in Trumplandia, the president was sable-rattling on Fox & Emptyheads this morning. When asked by his adoring fans what is the government going to do in response, he said "we'll see." He also says that Iran "respects us now than when president Obama signed that agreement with them." Yeah, I miss those days when the government preferred not to pick a fight needlessly with Iran...
