JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: YEMEN'S BRILLIANT ATTACK ON MAJOR SAUDI OIL FACILITIES - WE NATURALLY ROOT FOR THE LITTLE GUY (YEMEN) AGAINST THE BLOODY BULLY (SAUDI ARABIA) WHO STARTED ALL THE KILLING - BUT SOME VERY NASTY WORDS ARE COMING FROM WASHINGTON AND THIS COULD GO VERY WRONG FOR...IRAN - YES, AMERICA'S WASHINGTON BOZOS ARE BLAMING IRAN

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN CHECKPOINT ASIA



“Saudis Have You Had Enough? Time to Tap Out and Sue for Peace”



“Ten drones controlled by Yemeni Houthi forces hit two major Saudi oil installations last night and caused several large fires”



While this is encouraging for those of us who root for the little guy (Yemen) against the bully (Saudi Arabia), it could take a very wrong turn.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a Neocon’s Neocon, is now making quite threatening noises over the attack, suggesting in fact that Iran was behind it.

The ever-ready-to-grovel-for-Israel Senator Lindsey Graham is suggesting bombing Iran's oil fields in reprisal.

There are of course no limits to the stupidities towards Iran of which Washington is capable.

I'm sure that violent war criminal, Netanyahu, would welcome any aggression for which he could take credit during the Israeli election.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard has gone out of its way to make blunt statements that American bases and aircraft carriers are within range of its very capable missiles.

Ah, what a wonderful world America bestows upon us. Each day brings a bounty of threats and stupidities and danger.



AFTER NOTE:



I've long suspected that Senator Lindsey Graham - always ready to leap to his feet when the word "Israel" is uttered by anyone and shout "More!" if the topic is aid money or bombing of people Israel doesn’t like - was the victim, years ago, of a Mossad honey-trap.

Video would be deadly to the career of a man who pretends he's straight in the Southern Baptist constituency he represents. It is hard to account for his tireless watchdog efforts on Israel’s behalf otherwise.

Such things have certainly happened before. Closet-gay and cross-dresser, J Edgar Hoover, apparently was caught early on in such a trap by the Mafia, which likely explains his notorious ineffectiveness against organized crime.
