Attack on Saudi oil refinery

This looks nasty.

Iraq are being put "in the frame" but to me that doesn't make much sense.

Yemen is claimed to be the launch site of drones which does make more sense - but even that would be a high risk thing to do.

It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out.

Hi

It is not Iraq who is in the frame, it is Iran.

Beware of Iran, they are no threat at all to the UK, so leave them alone.

They have the capability to wipe out our warships in the Gulf.

This is not our fight.

Iraq - Iran they're all the same but it was a mistake on my part when I wrote Iraq.

HOWEVER Iran is a threat to to the whole civilised world and anything that do get up to is therefore a threat to us.

Leave them alone? We mustn't. If they have the capability to "wipe out" our naval presence in the gulf then firstly they wouldn't dare secondly if they did it would trigger the next phase of WW3.

Beligerence that creates enemies is one thing, but in the case of an existing enemy that is a real and present threat must be on the table for when it is an appropriate course of action.

In the case of Saudi the person of colour in the fuel store is the defence treaty that America has with Saudi. I have no doubt that this will be triggered, the only question remaining is who attacked Saudi with this huge step up in weaponry.

Hi

Typical of you.

9/11 was Sunni Muslim, not Shia.

Isis are Sunni Muslim, not Shia.

Iran are Shia, never an attack on the west for decades.

9/11 was funded, arranged and organised by Saudi Arabia.

Every single Terrorist Attack here in the UK since 9/11 has been funded by and carried out by Sunni Muslims funded by Saudi Arabia.

Iran has been the most successful country in destroying Isis.

Stop posting lies.

Iran is the enemy of Israel, not the UK.

Well it looks as though the price of oil has shot up so expect to see a rise at the pumps soon.

Fascinating!

What has the islamic attack on the western world by thumping the Twin Towers got to do with anything that I wrote?

It's the consequences of this current attack on Saudi that's must be of concern TO US.

We simply can't just leave the SOB's to fight it out. The defence treaty between America and Saudi is bound to trigger a response from the Septics provided that it becomes clear which of the Arab countries was behind it.

Given enough time some askhoul will blame Israel!

It is unlikely that allthough they claim to be responsible
Yemen is involved as they probably dont have the ability to
do it?
That leaves two options for responsibiliy?
1 Iran! Which is unlikely but possible?
2 Saudi Arabia itself! Who has its own motives to do this
One of which could be to bring usa into a conflict with lran?
and all the consequences of that? Usa is now going to
release videos purporting to prove Irans involvement, as they
did earlier in the tanker attacks, which imo were unconvincing?
As D Trump is fond of saying ' We will see what happens' !

Hi

Read your posts.

The survival of the fittest, your utter and total disregard of the weak.

Your views on letting people die.

That also applies to Israel.

They fight their own battles, nothing to do with us at all.

I dont think it is Israel Todgy, allthough it is within their
power to so do? The reason being that if they did it would
be a relatively long distance attack which would most likely
get detected and intercepted, with all the repercussions for
Israel of that? Imo it was a close range attack? I have
posted further on this elsewhere on this thread!

Re: Attack on Saudi oil refinery

I'm not convinced that Iran are to blame for this attack - more likely false accusations from an increasingly paranoid US government and Trump in particular laying blame on Iran.
