Is there a war in Poland that I didn’t hear about? The last one was in all the papers.
And now this is breaking: Gulf of Oman tankers attacked: Live updates
The missiles were fired from Yemen, but odds are fair to good they were built in Iran. Will Trump, under increasing pressure at home, look for a foreign adventure? We shall see.
-
Several sources are now using the term “torpedoes” for at least one of the tanker attacks, but there is still no general agreement on the type of weapon used.
-
I couldn’t find anything in your link that claimed missiles were fired from Yemen at the tankers, although there was mention of a Yemeni missile attack on a Saudi airport. The former seems unlikely anyway, as the nearest land point within Yemen is several hundred miles (and on the other side of Oman) from the tanker attack site. Do Yemeni rebels even have the capability of over-the-horizon targeting of shipping traffic?

With so little in the way of hard fact, it seems a bit premature to assign blame to Iran, but I don’t suppose that will deter the current administration and its (not specifically the quoted poster) more zealous supporters.
Assuming it was Houthis, I just wonder if that was really at Iran’s request.
I just read the linked article and saw no mention of “missiles from Yemen”; could you quote the part you read?
Falling under the “better late than never” category… (Reuters)
The AP recently posted a story too: Federal agency recommends White House aide Conway be fired | AP News
Anyone wanna bet that Trump will not ignore this? Because I just don’t see him doing anything other than keeping her on and writing her a pardon later. They’re already trying to work the “partisan attack” excuse.
Ha ha! I just saw the NBC version:
“A government watchdog agency recommended Thursday that Kellyanne Conway, a top aide to President Donald Trump, be removed from federal office for repeated violations of the Hatch Act, which prohibits government employees from engaging in certain political activity.
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel, an independent government agency that enforces the act, said it sent a report to Trump detailing “numerous occasions” in which Conway violated the law by saying disparaging things about Democratic presidential candidates in television interviews and on social media while acting in her official capacity as counselor to the president.”
I long assumed that Donnie Pfucker-Pfaster’s repeated requests for closed-door “interviews” with Ms Hicks were why she left the WH.
Don Jr tries to troll Justin Amash, but Justin Amash trolls him back.
I don’t get it.
He quoted Don Jr’s acceptance of the June 2016 Trump Tower collusion and data exchange meeting.
Amash repeats the line Don Jr wrote in an email when informed that the Russians were offering dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Thanks.
I got Justin Amash’s coup-fourré. I didn’t understand what DJTJ’s initial attempt was trying to get at, though.
It looks like DoJu was citing a poll showing Amash well behind his opponent.
Fellow Republican Jim Lower is challenging Justin Amash for his Michigan’s 3rd congressional district seat.
Ah.
Well, I wish Mr. Amash well, but I still want the Democratic candidate to win the district next year.
Complete obliteration of the Republican Party IS the goal, after all.
