Re: Attack on Saudi oil refinery

Hi

Money talks.

the USA is a big exporter of oil.

They are making massive profits because of the rise in the Oil Price.

They are also the biggest suppliers of weapons to the Saudis, yet another win.

We are not here to support Israel, it is not our fight.

FOFLFAO!

I just KNEW that someone would drag Israel into this!

As to who was behind the attack goodness knows but when Arabs fight between themselves the first casualty is truth.

One certainty, we have a dog in this fight, we can't just sit by and watch.

Re: Attack on Saudi oil refinery

How does the UAE stack up in this? Is there any bad
feelings between them and Saudis?

Re: Attack on Saudi oil refinery

Latest news is that US Intelligence (an oxymoron if there ever was one) has proof that drones were launched from Southern Iran. Too quick to point the finger - anyone else backed up this assertion?

Re: Attack on Saudi oil refinery

It is very interesting to read these posts from you who all seem to be arm chair experts in world affairs. It is also apparent that Great Britain is your home. Hmmm, seems to be nothing in the news of what your motherland intends to do to help protect and defend the effects of this attack.
It is easy to be critical, yet take no positive action. I am intersted in what your own leaders are offering up. Care to enlighten the rest of us?

First let's identify precisely who did what.

Based on American actions in the past I for one accept nothing that comes from that source at face value.

As for being armchair experts no doubt some here have little first hand experience of the dirty side of life, but some do.

Interestingly your POTUS is adopting the same wait and find the facts policy.

I rate this POTUS very highly indeed.

Welcome JN you ask what our mother country is doing to
help defend the effects of the attacks? Well first we will try
to identify who carried out the attacks! Then we would assess
what we are able to do? and then decide what to do?
At the moment there is no clarity on that question!
I am sure if it was a direct attack on your homeland uk
would stand fast with usa as was the case in 911?

Re: Attack on Saudi oil refinery

It's pretty dreadful that yet again the Saudi's (Prince whatsit) are expecting the US and UK to give support.
Why are we ( country) giving support to this vile nation with barbaric practices ? We've been trying to bring down Assad over the last 8/9 yrs for a lot less.



https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/993553...gn=sharebarweb

SAUDI Arabia has brutally executed 134 people so far this year, including six who were kids when they were arrested.

The slain were tortured and slaughtered by brutal methods – including crucifixion and beheading, according to a human rights organisation.

Re: Attack on Saudi oil refinery

The West will always suck up to the Saudis where oil is concerned.
