Sec. Of State Describes Attack On Saudi Oil Fields As ‘An Act Of War’ | Deadline | MSNBC
If it was an act of war, it was aimed at Saudi Arabia. Why on earth would we come to the rescue for the country that harbored 15 of the 19 terrorists involved in 9/11 and dismembered an American journalist? Oh wait….they’ve purchased our president.
@Wes Tolson – I could care less about what happens in Saudi Arabia. I hope all of those idiots bomb each other into the stone age. If the oilfields are destroyed it will emphasize the need for oil-independence for the USA. I say good riddance and die soon Saudi’s.
@zenzete Wow. That’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve read all day. So childish. I hope nobody looks up to you.
Moni Moni mooooniiiii
@Brian Powell How many have been won since 1776??????? *VERY FEW* !
An act of war with who??? The US needs to stay out of this. ANOTHER campaign promise about to be broken.
Another? Name some others…
Mexico will pay for the wall.
Literally the entire planet. You’ve got to understand how much oil from SA powers the whole world, right?
Let Trump put up his sons; Fredo Jr & Dotard Eric, and the Weasel son in law on the front lines first! Oops, perhaps they inherited the bone spurs too? 🤔Hmmm
Dittzx : “Fredo!” Perfect 🤣👌
Uday and Yusay Trump
That’s will happen the so call bone spur family lol
Nah they never, they are bone-spurs.
It’s the 21st Century. No reason daddies little girl, his precious loving daughter Ivanka and her younger sister, what’s-her-name, can’t go to war too.
Inside job and wanting to go to war. It never fails when a republican is in office.
@oldtimedrumcorps spankie is over a barrel.Saudi Arabia masterminded 9 11. Political suicide for spankie to attack Iran
If a pathological liar comes to you with news… verify it, lest you harm innocence in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for accepting the liar’s news, devoid of truth.

Watch this you may get very an educated and quit blaming people for y’all failure.
Yeah? How about the 20th century?
This country will be a lot roomier after trump gets all his voters shipped off to Iran.
😂😂😂😂
I just hope it doesn’t come to armed conflict. I have tons of friends that are still active duty (I left in 2018 because of Trump), and none of them like him or voted for him.
An act of war against whom? This is none of America’s business. Let those coward Saudis fight their own battles.
@KITTU KITTU Wow…seems like your made in China maga hat is a little tight (even for a Trump cultist) Iran didn’t do this.Remember before the Iraq war Bush had people like you believing the same crap about weapons of mass destruction.Are you still that dumb not to see how this works and who is orchestrating it?
Let’s go American start WW3,so TMH can make his return. It never stop American before, for it’s GOD (GOLD, OIL, DRUGS),don’t let the Christian Caucasian supremacy down.
@KITTU KITTU sadly you are uneducated in the world affairs, you seem to be a sheep following idiots like POMPEO and trump
@Ash Roskell what they want is to play their games with trump while they are laughing behind his back for being a fool to help them with their lies
Saudis are real brave when it’s ten hit men with bone saws against an American journalists. Let’s see how brave these cowards are in war with Iran.
truth.
Someone should describe the attack on Kashoggi to the SOS 10x a day every day.
Should of been talking this act of war bravado with Russia if Donald and Pompeo want to thump their chest. But they’re scared of Vladimir….and dare not challenge him.
This is an act associated with the Yemen civil war. The focus of the worlds attention should be on resolving that war.
Saudi Arabia Should Fight Their Own Wars,’ Trump Tweeted … When Obama Was President!
tht was lie #467
JimA ,for you know Trump the not write that Tweet,For Tweet Bird can’t read,All staff writing.
@tihzho Agreed, in all my life, I have never known ANY politician to lie as much as the Pig. Does he *EVER* tell the truth about anything?
Can’t wait to see Pompeo with his tin hat and carbine charging into Iran with the sons and daughters of the wealthy behind him, onward patriots to protect the flag & country.. Gimme a break.
First we need proof. Second, this is Saudi Arabia’s Problem. NOT ours…
There was solid proof that a reporter was killed and dismembered, but Trump didn’t approve of that proof. He has a habit of picking the proof he wants and ignoring the facts, or calling them fake news when it’s not the “truth” he wants.
He won’t go to war with Iran because that country has long been an ally of the Russians. He’ll take it to the edge and then walk it back claiming that a “wonderful, tremendous” deal has been done and that he really likes the President of Iran. He has lost one of his allies in the form of Netanyahu, another liar and crook and when the Tories fall in the UK he’ll have a very different kind of ‘special relationship’.
It Is always the Republicans who start war I mean always. Then they will debate with you how to clean the mess they created. Is’t Saudi that Killed 3000 Americans citizen on their soil ? what did Iran do ?
Sounds like a Saudi problem to me, they didn’t attack us. Let the Saudis and Israel fight their own wars , in fact we don’t know if Iran really did it.
Since when is Saudi-Arabia making the calls for the US president to make american military to act if demanded to?
Why was the writing on the drone wreckage in english. Does Iran purchase weapons from the English speaking world.
Suades attack us on 9/11 people forget that MBS killed our Journalist. We’ve been in war for 17 years for BS. Rich people’s kids and siblings, and parents aren’t dying over there.
Another example of rich and barbaric cowards wanting someone else to go to war and die over their 💰 let them fight Iran themselves
Trump said Saudi’s should fight their own wars.( when he wasn’t President)
