Not Iran, but the aggressor loves invading and just steals islands(to destructive to build anything), just ask the chagossians. Nasty fuckers all round when you consider their history. ---

China has quite a few borders disputes, territorial claims and flagrant illegal island buildings issues. Russia, well you know about Crimea and Georgia. Suck it up and don’t be a hypocrite. ---

Does any of this concern Iran, the present situation, or is it just deflection for the sake of the extremely violent aggressor. Just what is the appeal in murdering hundreds of thousands, if not millions of innocent women and children, apart from the obvious oil? Here’s a possible explanation of how desperate some now are.

Maybe positioning their willy to stick it somewhere else(did anyone think they’d except defeat?). They’re so far gone, they just pile fantasy on top of fantasy and don’t care who notices. "Russia’s recent allegations against the White Helmets and others are part of a continuing disinformation campaign by the Assad regime and Russia to create the false narrative that others are to blame for chemical weapons attacks that the Assad regime itself is conducting. Similarly, on November 24, 2018, the Assad regime and Russia attempted to fabricate a chemical weapons attack near Aleppo and blame it on opposition forces. At times, Russia and the Assad regime have made these false allegations as a pretext in advance of the Assad regime’s own barbaric chemical weapons attacks. The facts, however, are clear: the Assad regime itself has conducted almost all verified chemical weapons attacks that have taken place in Syria—a conclusion the United Nations has reached over and over again. The former Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)-UN Joint Investigation Mechanism repeatedly verified and reported the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons. The Assad regime’s culpability in horrific chemical weapons attacks is undeniable." That last paragraph leaves some unanswered questions. > **[US Accuses Syria Of More Chemical Attacks Just As Chemical Weapons Narrative...](https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/05/22/us-accuses-syria-of-more-chemical-attacks-just-as-chemical-weapons-narrative-crumbles/)** > > The Institute for Public Accuracy published a report today about the leaked engineering assessment from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons investigation into an alleged chemic… ---

This is really not good news. Whether or not it is actually Iran OR someone trying to blame them OR a proxy it can promote even more tensions. > **[Crews rescued after Gulf tankers hit in 'attacks'](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-48619771)** > > The blasts on two oil tankers come a month after four vessels were attacked with mines off the UAE. It comes close on the heels of a “cruise missile” attack on an airport in south-west Saudi by the Iran backed Houthi militia especially the line that they previously targeted the under construction nuclear reactor in Abu Dhabi > **[Houthi missile attack on Saudi airport 'injures 26'](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-48608213)** > > Children were among those hurt when the missile fired by the Yemeni rebel movement hit Abha airport.

I saw the Oman tanker story and immediately wondered who’d end up getting blamed. Is the Gulf of Oman the new Gulf of Tonkin? ---

There will be a war without a shadow of a doubt if this isn’t secured, who done it? Yanks or agents or Iran, either one doesn’t really matter as its a proxy war and geopolitics, it’d happen elsewhere and 1000’s would innocently lose their lives. They’ll be losing them a lot quicker is oil gets burnt and supplies to Europe slow, people will be looking far more closely at the states than Iran so the US won’t be able to do anything with absolute independent proof, if they have that then Iran will be getting an awful lot of bombs. The US have wanted to do this for years and can’t due to the geography of the Country, they can bomb it to shite though, where will Russia and China be then? Silent, they’ll be silent as they’re shithouses as well. ---

Pretty sure the Chinese may be considering a move of some kind. They want to be able to buy Iranian crude sod sanctions. A perfect riposte to having Huwawi shafted by Trump ---

They won’t do anything militarily to stop the US either themselves or openly supplying Iran, same with the Russians. Bullies like the US I’ll add but they’re all the same, when the US get a better president that will change though. ---
