Gulf of Tonkin 2019 style

[gopiscrap]

I would not be surprised if the US military, CIA or some hired foreign mercenary attacked the tankers yesterday. Remember how we got fully into Vietnam, remember our "weapons of mass destruction" there are many other examples of the US committing nefarious acts and then blaming others so we can ramp up our aggression towards other nations. Remember trump saw how Bush's ratings went up when we were on a war footing.

This may be a cynical way of looking at it, but I wouldn't be shocked if it came out that way!

1. The Japanese oil tanker owner is disputing Trump administration account of the incident

[gopiscrap]

2. good I hope the Japanese dispute it loud and clear

6. There's no question in my mind that there were no mines involved.

The Japanese claim two clear things: 1. They saw a flying object hit one of the ships; 2. The damage was above water level.

3. War's a good place for financial investment. That's why they are never-ending in our modern world.

Armaments are the perfect product. If they are being used they need to be replaced, all at taxpayer expense. Ain't corporate capitalism grand?

4. No kidding

that is one of the reasons why I believe capitalism is immoral!!

7. That crossed my mind

as I listened the NPR news, on the radio, yesterday morning. Of course the illegitimate orange administration, were laying blame on Iran. I sure hope not, but who knows what's really going on.
