Fake news?

wayout · January 3, 2020, 8:23pm

That tweet was real. It’s gone now as stated

voodoo · January 3, 2020, 8:40pm

Wow so his son is tweeting about it, before it happened? I mean there is so much wrong going on there. Why was he even in the know? The tweet is clearly a security risk to the people involved and what is meant to be a top secret ‘mission’. Clearly letting the cat out of the bag.

Timing on this is a coincidence?
Election, oil , military contracts. A pattern especially around the nature of the assassination of the Iranian.
It was a bold strike rather than a covert undercover job.
The US has 5000 troops still in Iraq. So a drone strike is such a statement/power move .

So glad this has been cleared up.

Hadenough · January 6, 2020, 2:41pm

Yes it’s nice to finally get clarity
Too much poor visibility on this issue
Things have been rather murky
Sometimes the answer is right in front of you but you can’t see it
It’s a big grey area
Etc

Bravo!

I studied the Iraq war a lot at uni, the first thing the U.S. pushed through when they took control was changing the payment method of iraqi oil from euros to dollars…

Chopper · January 6, 2020, 5:56pm

Yeah and America doesn’t like many other oil producers doing the same, Venezuela , Syria and Libya. Gedafi was going to switch to euros and look what happened there, propped up and now failed Arab spring . ( tho he did need to go)
Apparently thanks to sanctions china is stepping slowly away from trading in dollars too along with a few other nations.
America really are screwing theirselves over at the moment.

I gotta go to Israel on Sunday. Was gonna go to Jerusalem but I think I’ll stay in the hotel in Tel Aviv. Can’t be assed getting hostaged.

Mush · January 6, 2020, 9:41pm

Didn’t he have a new African currency plan going?
As bonkers as he was he was what was keeping a lid on Libya and actually achieved quite a lot of good stuff, irrigation systems for farming and the likes.
Countries that don’t trade in the petrodollar are all short listed for a shit time undergoing conversion to good ol’ US democracy.
Hasn’t worked once though, they just leave a horrid mess behind.
