Gun-boat diplomacy and U.S. officials going dangerously insane

They would go to any lengths .. sell their mothers, even lend their own ass, if all that could help collect fragments of tales for a red-herring story to carpet bomb Iran.

While the U.S. Central Command promptly did it's traditional task of blithering disinformation claiming it had a video of IRGC handling "unexploded mine" at the Japanese tanker, the tanker's eyewitness crew said a very different story that they only saw some flying objects hitting the vessel ... a familiar scenario executed in untold numbers in the past by U.S. attacking sea and air traffic as blueprint-terror-moves of its foreign policy. The owner of the Japanese vessel himself disagreed with the U.S. that marine mines caused the explosion. He asserted that the vessel was struck by flying projectiles .... an issue the U.S. wants to avoid because it's a part of the false-flag construction.

Pompeo claims he has "evidence" but won't speak of it ..... cause he has not a shred of evidence .... and won't talk to reporters either for he has no specifics to mention.

Apart from the fact that such meaningless acts of destruction have never been in conformity with Iran's etiquette and policies (history is witness to that), particularly in the present political climate that would be a dream-come-true for her enemies. But the U.S. Central Command with its peanut-sized brain thinks the entire global populace is as moronic as itself.    They had the same brainless approach in Syria, spinning the yarn for erecting false flags to frame Assad when he least needed to those rotten game plans to suit his interest.

Writes Esquire's Charles Pierce: "Mike Pompeo is fighting way above his weight class. I don't trust this administration with a lemon zester, let alone a war with Iran. I know this administration is truthless from top to bottom and all the way out both sides. I don't trust the Saudi government as far as I can throw a bone saw. And this president feels very much like he's being run to ground at the moment and needs a distraction."
