So an Emeriti tanker was blown-up in in the Gulf. The Yanks blame the Iranians, the Iranians blame the Israelis, and the Israelis blame the Iranians again.
With this, teh US is talking about a broad escalation in the region, as a response to Iran reneging on the Iran-Nuclear deal because the US itself reneged on this. In addition, the US wants to impose restrictions on Iran's missile program. Also Israel is bricking it about an Iranian nuclear program.
Meanwhile Europe is kinda just sitting on the sidelines absolutely furious that the Yanks have torn-up an agreement they signed to ensure this kind of this wouldn't happen.

Nah tbh we should see what Israel thinks about an impending geopolitical crisis involving it from the perspective of Electronic fucking Intifada.
Austin Long
no it wasn't
4 tankers, 2 Saudi and 2 Emeriti were "damaged" with no real evidence of it being an attack beyond the single image and footage release by the Saudis with the Americans promptly blaming "Iran or Iranian proxies"
Europe is a collection of worthless client states, when the mutts say jump, the Euros will jump

A war between the Arab gulf states and the axis of resistance would end with Saudi society completely collapsing, it's an incredibly fragile country. You take out the desalination plants along the coast and the entire Saudi population will die of thirst. Not to mention the US navy has no way of dealing with Iranian civilian boats full of explosives just ramming into all their ships.

The sooner the reactionary governments of the Middle East collapse the better. Once the oil money runs out the workers of Saudi Arabia, for example, and particularly the immigrant ones who are basically slaves will rise up faster than the early Soviet Unions rate of industrialisation.

At this point of blatant crimes against humanity, i would publicly state that:
i hope most of the people in Saudi Arabia and Isreal die, SOON
The rest of us would be drastically better off and safer sans those two incredibly evil empires

This is one of the laziest manufactured pretenses for a war I've ever even heard of.
Just some allegedly damaged tankers allegedly connected (loosely) to Iran and some vague, unsubstantiated claims that Iran is planning on attacking US forces. That's it, that's all it's gonna take to start a war that will kill hundreds of thousands of people.

Though I will point out that the media hasn't completely started towing the party line yet (even fucking WaPo is critical) so maybe there's enough dissent by military planners to prevent this from going forward.
