Shabnam von Hein, DW: Saudi oil strike: Iran pursuing 'strategy of escalation'

The Iranian government has denied any involvement in the drone attack against Saudi Arabia, but observers say that Tehran is trying to raise the stakes in its tug-of-war with Washington.

On Wednesday evening, the Saudi government said that Iran was "unquestionably" behind the attacks on its oil fields. Riyadh said investigations had showed that the missiles were not fired from southwestern Yemen, but came from the north. The US had already said over the weekend that Iran was responsible for the drone strikes. However, until now, there has been no indisputable evidence to confirm Iran's role in the attacks.

Democrat Party Reporters are da best!

I can just see McConnell plotting to get rid of his Chinese wife.

Does Joy Reid meet with other Democrat Party reporters every morning at an eatery and drink stupid juice?

Black racists have taken ownership of the antebellum One Drop Rule.

The Democrat Party still owns the One Drop Rule like they did in the antebellum. That has not changed.

Fortunately, people are fighting back and adhering to the letter of the law and and flummoxing the conniving Democrats.


If more than say 50% of people are minorities, the benefit loses its advantage. When it approaches 100% it is worthless. Poor sad deluded Democrats

"BOOM! Women’s March Dumps Latest Anti-Semitic Board Member — Who Was Appointed EARLIER THIS WEEK!"

Liberals replaced one anti-Semite with another. They were caught and so they got rid of the 2nd anti-Semite.

Liberals will happily replace the 2nd anti-Semite with another anti-Semite so long as they do not get caught.

"Intelligence whistleblower 'complained Trump tried to get the Ukrainian president to investigate Joe Biden's son Hunter's business links in the country', claim sources as Giuliani confirms he asked officials to probe the former VP's influence "

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7483861/Donald-Trump-facing-questions-whistleblower-trying-reveal-Ukraine-pressure.html

That is it? THAT IS IT?

Is the whistle blower some kind of idiot? Was he born Democrat?

My guess is the whistle blower is a Warren supporter.

Looking into these deals will not Hurt Donald, but they will generate lots of publicity. Democrat reporters and editors cannot help themselves, but Donald will emerge smelling like a Rose. But Biden's name will keep coming up.

It will be a 1, 2 punch. First punch is self-inflicted. That is his dementia caused gaffes. The second punch is the disinfecting light shown on the Biden family business dealings.

John Kerry's son will get nuked too.

This cold will be a Warren indirect approach worthy of Sub Tzu.
