In a week of confusion around Trump, Bolton, and the possibility of war with Iran, news media have not done a particularly good job of explaining why major US military action in Iran would be, in practical terms, so likely to end in disaster. https://t.co/hi7SV6uAgL pic.twitter.com/QbwvQoTyJG

US need Congress' explicit approval in order to declare war, so it looks like new word to replace "war" is "deterrence".

Right, so the US gov has decided not to hit Iran directly, because they have the strength to hit back.
So they change tack again and decide to continue with their old "Syrian chemical attack" bullshit, long since discredited.
Back to "The road to Tehran lies through Damascus" policy.

The world has got to be tired of this same old litany from the US, surely nobody is buying this BS anymore.

They are long out of fresh ideas to get anything they want, so the "masterplan" now is to try the all the old ideas but in several different countries all at the same time.

Sen. Lindsey Graham: Attack on tankers and Saudi pipeline was "directed by the Iranian government."

More quotes from this evening from McCain's old buddy, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:



@LindseyGrahamSC
3h3 hours ago

The threat streams from Iran against American interests are real and severe.

The Trump administration has shown amazing restraint in the face of escalating aggressions from Iran.  

The Iranian-directed attacks on four ships, sabotaging other nations’ pipelines, and the firing of rockets into the Green Zone in Iraq have not yet led to a military response.

It is clear to me that the Iranians are pushing back against the economic pressure created by the Trump administration.  

The maximum pressure campaign on Iran is working.

I’m confident that if the Iranians harm one American – in Iraq or anywhere else – they will pay a heavy price.

The Trump administration will respond militarily and in an overwhelming fashion.

The Obama-era policy of Iranian appeasement is over.  

The days of Iran killing Americans – without consequence – is over.

Trump calls out "military-industrial complex," which "like[s] war" & "went crazy" when he tried to withdraw from Syria. Yet he's currently war-mongering against Iran. I don't think DC/media elites mind the war-mongering; they more resent his erraticism & occasional honesty: pic.twitter.com/XHEhE09vc5

— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) May 20, 2019

Typical Trump. Says the right things to appeal to concerned people about military industrial complex just so they might think "Ahhh ol' Donnie knows what he's doing, this is proof if ever it was needed that he is trying to stop the swamp, he's got my support!". Meanwhile, disastrous team neocon continues unimpeded with full consent of Trump.

Funny is that it's Venezuelan oil technically. It just travels to Russia and, then, back to the US (or stays in Russia and Russian oil goes to the US)...
