ReplyDeleteTbh half the world probability thought it was at first glance.
Everyone's 1st guess is that Israel sabotage an arms factory. That would make it intentional.
ReplyDeleteBut 5:25 AM weighing in at a staggering 1,500 nanograms opines about Trump's stupidity and instead shows off its TDS.

ReplyDelete5:25am may be 1,500 nanograms, but Trump's cock that you're busy suckling on clearly weights much less.
I blame Obama
ReplyDeleteSifting Beirut's rubble for bodies: Over 100 people are killed and thousands hurt after 'welder' sparks warehouse fire that ignited 2,700 tons of highly explosive chemicals 'seized from a ship' causing 3 kiloton blast - a fifth the size of Hiroshima bomb
ReplyDelete1/5th of Hiroshima? I doubt that.
DeleteFirst you're comparing apples Roth oranges. Sure. You've reported the weights right but came to the wrong conclusions.
A kiloton in nuclear talk, when you refer to US nuclear bombs especially, and it would make sense as you refer to Hiroshima and kiloton, is measured based on the trinity bomb, which was measured on stacks of TNT.
So a kiloton nuclear bomb refers to a kiloton TNT. Not some unnamed chemical liquid (which might be more explosive, but it looks less than a fifth of Hiroshima by a long shot and discounting long terms deaths.. just looking at buildings.. this wasn't a fifth of Hiroshima. If you got your knowledge from some website news, I'd humbly suggest to switch websites
The word you were searching in vain for is weighs not weights. Contact a lawyer and sue your ESL instructor.

ReplyDeletegrammar nazi...most likely a typing error. But you are perfect, Rite?
I do blame Obama. With Obama sending $ 1,7 billion to Iran, the Iranians could afford to splurge and spend big bucks on their main squeeze Nasrallah.
ReplyDeleteSo did the Lebanese government really take the ammonium nitrate away from Hezbollah and their matriarch Nasrallah?
Why has it taken them 6 years to get rid of it? Because they never intended to get rid of it.
The Lesbanese government impounded it after Hezbollah got caught with it. It is security theater. The nitrate was meant to go back to Hezbollah, when no one was looking or when war breaks out.
At least .1% of the money Obama gave Iran for terrorism is up in smoke.
ReplyDeleteFixing Obama's mistakes is hard, but someone has got to do it!
Has nothing to do with being a grammar NAZI. I don't think the poster is a native speaker, so I called it. I think the speaker is a foreign troll, who monitors sites and tears them up, so I feel good tearing his ass up and handing it back to him with a smile.
ReplyDeleteQuick response btw. It looks like you are doing a little monitoring and shepherding yourself. Is the pay good?
Why show your stupidity, anon: You do not understand what and why Obama gave back to Iran Iran's money and what has that to do with nitrate explosion in Lebanon. your comment is just plain dumb
ReplyDeleteI understand appeasers like Neville Chamberlain and Obama quite well.
ReplyDeleteObama should apologize for shameful cash payment to Iran"
"These were facts that former President Obama knew when he deliberately chose a policy of appeasement and cash payoffs instead of strength and accountability as the way to deal with Iran."
"“Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013 and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. ... Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan and Iraq. "
Yemeni Civil War (2015–present)
Obama's payments to Iran and the start of the Yemeni War line up quite nicely.
Appeasement is always a strategic error.

ReplyDeleteTrump says it "looks like" an attack. Obviously he cannot "know" as the US doesn't have operatives on the ground or allies who will share such information with them even if they did "know."
ReplyDeleteTrump cites the "generals." The generals likeky would've had such information spoon fed to them by US (un)intelligence officials. If POTUS is still relying on these people, that is troubling in and of itself. Trump probably should've kept his mouth shut here.
With that said the worldwide conventional wisdom on this is it was an attack. It would've been helpful though if POTUS cited a more reliable source than US generals.
Since it likeky was an attack, who did it? I'd tend to discount the possibility that Isreal was behind it. To sloppy and to mich collateral damage. As it seems highly likeky this was/is a Hezbollah bomb factory, enemies of the Shia and Iran such as ISIS or Al Qaeda. Another possibility is a "false flag" operation where Israel or the US is blamed.
US defense officials contradict Trump: No indication yet of attack in Beirut
ReplyDeleteHow would US defense officials know? They have my spies in the Trump campaign than in Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteA priori most people give it 50% Mossad did this and 50% that poor Lebanese quality control is to blame.
Then there is parrot. He eats any and all shit placed before him by corporate media. Better yet he does so with a smile and great gusto. What media organization ask for more than that?
US defense officials contradict Trump: No indication yet of attack in Beirut
ReplyDeleteHow can you contradict "looks like"
Well, if you have a heavy viral load of TDS, I guess it is possible.
Maybe since parrot is riven through and through with TDS, that perhaps he should be quarantined?
I note that gay lad still has hard on for parrot...got an itch in your groin since I blocked your emails to me?
ReplyDeleteAnd parrot went to an ad hominem attack, since he cannot rebut people who criticize his stupid
ReplyDeletecomment on Trump.
While parrots' ad hominem attacks are the usual staple, we all can see he has expanded his go to put downs from girlie boy to gay lad. Keep it up and your spouse will throw you out.

ReplyDeleteDemocrats are coming for everything.
After spreading endless lies about vote-by-mail’s supposed susceptibility to fraud, President Trump and his family members — who often double as his propagandists — are suddenly scrambling to reassure voters that mail-balloting is actually tremendously secure and reliable.
ReplyDeleteYet they are mainly doing this in one particular state — Florida, which just happens to be an absolute must-win for Trump.
But in undertaking this new scramble, Trump and his spinners are actually reminding us of the degree to which they are willing to corrupt our election on his behalf. The stakes are incredibly high: Large numbers of voters could be disenfranchised, allowing Trump to prevail.
Nevada has ZERO infrastructure for Mail-In Voting. It will be a corrupt disaster if not ended by the Courts. It will take months, or years, to figure out. Florida has built a great infrastructure, over years, with two great Republican Governors. Florida, send in your Ballots!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 5, 2020
My father-in-law, President Trump, has always supported absentee voting, with safeguards in place. We want you to know there is a difference between the Democrat-imposed vote-by-mail systems and the vote-by-mail systems you have in Florida.
In Florida, you as the voter must both register and request your absentee ballot. This is very different and much more secure a process than when the Democrats mail everyone in the state a ballot, often resulting in ballots being mailed to abandoned addresses and individuals not registered to vote.
Lara Trump then urges Florida voters to obtain their absentee ballots.
Florida already has a system in place. Nevada is going to try to have one in place 60 to 90 days ahead of an election. Big difference.
ReplyDeleteThere are New York primaries that took place in June and now it is August and we still do not know the outcome. But Parrot, the blithely stupid kook, thinks it is a great idea. New York used a spur of the moment, ad hoc, fly by the seat of your pants mail in system.
But whatever parrot you suck.

ReplyDeleteSo of you throw something together at the last moment you get a train wreck. I have to assume that Democrats want a train wreck so that they can seize power like the dictatorial thugs that they are.
