Keep an eye on this one. It could be very, very dangerous.
1. When military action is taken, it is normally (virtually always) announced by the head of state. This wasn't. It was announced by John Bolton with Trump quite absent.
2. John Bolton is mentally ill - and an extremely dangerous man. Some have said he is insane, and I wouldn't deny it. And there is every probability that he is in charge of the Iran affair.
3. The light, explosive charges had almost no effect on the tankers in a SAudi anchorage. This makes no sense. Who would launch such a useless attack? Iran? Give us a break. Iran would gain nothing whatever from such an attack. But John Bolton immediately laid down the charge that the attacks were by Iran. And he cannot possibly have known that in the time he had. No. It's far, far more likely this was set up by the U.S.
4. China has a big stake in Iran oil. And Russia almost certainly cannot allow the U.S. to have a free run over Iran.
5. The U.S. has a long and bloody history interfference and murder in Iran. between the war, Britain bled Iran. It set up a dictators - and Iran, for almost sixty years had to supply free oil to the whole British navy. Then, about 1948, Iran managed to set up a democratic government.
The UK promptly interfered, and called on the U.S; for help. Together they overthrew the elected government and installed a dictatorship again.
Then the US edged the British out and took over for itself. But the Iranians again overthrew the dictator, and elected a government. Ever since, the U.S. has been pushing for a war on Iran.
This is a very dangerous situation. And the leading American in it is a highly unstable American politician with a long history of aggression and murder.
