    Truth is got the basics right in terms of 's "propaganda" value. The ATTACK DID HAPPEN, Sarin wasn't used, but we'll have to wait for to prove Chlorine or otherwise. However, everything else around the attack was manufactured for maximum effect.

    The UN contingency plan for US withdrawal from the North East after December's Trump tweet predicted only 100k people displaced, and even then only on frontlines. To rely on the 'contingency plan' they seem to briefing on in this scenario would be a mistake.

    As I was just reminded by a friend, sold their expectant allies in South in a curt WhatsApp message. Americans continuously proving they're the worst ally one can get or count on.

    In the coming weeks, remember this thread, and particularly this comment ⬇️

    Months ago, the source had told me about the 'unquestioned authority's' plan to become Syria's 'New Makhlouf'. To that end, a 'Syrian Ritz Carlton' needed to be carried out, he told me, in reference to MBS lockup of Saudi’s wealthy princes and stripping their fortunes away.

    This thread, and the article mentioned, is your weekend read

    Interesting read from about Nir Rosen and his work as a fixer between various actors and the Assad regime in Syria. However, one of the more juicer tidbits that Armin only glossed over is Nir's association with Samir Foz. …

    Hey, so I spend way too much time paying attention to Iranian drones for a he. This slide where KSA is calling out what they say is a shot of the drone used in the Abqaiq attacks immediately stuck out. See that pic on the right?

    If this is true: it is a straight up act of war. The cost of not responding will be too high. Not responding to Iran's expansionist agenda and meddling in Iraq, Lebanon & Syria is exactly why we are where we are today.

    Iran launched nearly a dozen cruise missiles and over 20 drones from its territory in the attack on a key Saudi oil facility, a senior Trump administration official told News.

    So confirms that its investigation are still going ahead despite Sec of State Pompeo saying  “the information they have confirms the government’s statement that its territory was not used to carry out this attack'. A subtle diss to from the Saudis.

    Trump doesn't want war with & Saudis have historically preferred not to directly engage with hostilities. Iran and KSA been playing this cat and mouse game for decades, in the Middle East, using their proxies & 3rd party countries as battlefield. What would do?

    Fair assessment considering Trump put the ball in 's corner as a nation sovereign over its territory, thus putting it in the driver's seat for a possible reprisal while assuming the role of an assisting ally.

    If the U.S. don't respond this time, Ras Tanura facility will be burning within a month.
