Tillerson on tv right now making a case for an invasion into Iran.

[SummerSnow]

"they have the 'potential' of making a nuclear weapon"
"they are a threat to the U.S.and the world"
" Iran spend its treasure and time disrupting peace"

sick of these warmongers

.What message does this send to our allies, mainly the EU.
.Andrea Mitchell said at the conference to Tillerson that Iran has been compliance with the Nuclear deal and they still have sanctions placed upon them. He made some stupid comment like ' they might be doing other stuff'

1. These fucking assholes are going to start World War 3.

[mitch96]

16. A president needs his war to

distract us from what is really going on behind the scenes? Or just consolidate the base to "support" the president.. We fell for it with Bush.. No good deed goes un punished..

[exboyfil]

25. Twofer

In addition to the distraction, taking a portion of the Middle Eastern oil off line will increase oil prices. Thus making the Russian oil more valuable.

[Phoenix61]

26. My thought exactly!

Then we will need that Russian oil. Evil little shits, ain't they?

[tazkcmo]

27. The 19.5% Solution

The missing percentage of Rasneft ownership, 5% of which is rumored to be earmarked for Shit Gibbon and Page The Village Idiot .5%.

[madokie]

32. They'll not quit until they do

its money to them, Blood to the rest of us

I know I was in an unjust not right war, 15 months of it. Came home a basket case as a matter of fact. Still have problems with it.

[superpatriotman]

2. JFC

Can we not leave people the fuck alone?

[RKP5637]

5. K&R!!! K&R!!! K&R!!! K&R!!! K&R!!! K&R!!!

[Luciferous]

8. Nope, they have to shift attention away from

their corruption. If they keep pissing off other countries we will end up in another world war

[Wellstone ruled]

3. These Guy's just don't get it.

Do you think Germany or France will stand by and allow this to happen,not.

[RKP5637]

4. Same here, and they are probably invested heavily in the MIC! These asses are setting up the

world for WW III FFS. Damn fools!

[virtualobserver]

6. up through the ground come a bubblin' crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

that is their potential in the Tillerson brain

[Dustlawyer]

28. BP ran to the British government who ran to the U.S./CIA when Iran's PM

threatened to nationalize their oil production because BP didn't want to have to pay for their oil. The CIA overthrew it's first government and had the PM tried and executed over their oil. This action has shaped the last several years of trouble between the two nations.

Now Exxon/Tillerson want to do it again.

Wash, rinse, repeat!

[delisen]

7. I think anything they are pushing is part of Putin's agenda.

If Putin is a backer of Iran, he has some reason to make Trump and Tillerson threaten war.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. Sounds familiar

Where have we heard all of this before? Hmmmm....?

Besides, didn't Trump (mis-)Administration just recently certify that Iran is compliance with their agreement? Pretty hard to justify starting a war with Iran when they are doing what they are supposed to (i.e. not actually posing a threat to anybody) IMHO, right?

[Iggo]

10. This is the fourth war they've tried to start in a month.

[smirkymonkey]

31. I know! WTF!!

They are determined to get their war on, one way or the other. Surely one of them will pan out. Of course, half the population will perish, but it's a small price to pay to prove you have a bigger dick than the other guy!

[Iggo]

33. Problem is, there's really only one way to measure dicks.

And it's impossible to improve your lie.

So to speak.

[lunatica]

11. Isn't Iran friends with Russia?

MAN! This is so confusing!

[SummerSnow]

15. Yes they are allies

[lunatica]

17. My neck hurts from doing the doubletake head snap!

That's why I'm so confused.

[eleny]

12. Well, Rex, put your big boy pants on and go take care of business

Take your boss with you while you're at it.

[YOHABLO]

13. So what's Tillerson after their oil too. fuch him.

[Tanuki]

14. "They have oil" (not what he actually said, but also a big reason). eom

[OldHippieChick]

21. This!

Tillerson would much prefer a war w/ Iran so Exxon can take the oil. He doesn't want a war w/ NK as he doesn't see any personal benefit in that. I can't even believe I'm typing this because it is cynical and pessimistic, but it is our new reality and we are moving so quickly from what I felt was a fairly safe position to the brink of war in the blink of less than 100 days.

[lies]

18. War

Pretty much the most American thing there is.

[wishstar]

19. Irrational since CBS reported that Administration certified Iran is complying with nuclear treaty

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-complying-with-nuclear-deal-but-its-still-under-review-trump-administration/

WASHINGTON -- The Trump administration has notified Congress that Iran is complying with the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal negotiated by former President Obama, and says the U.S. has extended the sanctions relief given to the Islamic republic in exchange for curbs on its atomic program.

However, in a letter sent late Tuesday to House Speaker Paul Ryan, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the administration has undertaken a full review of the agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

[superpatriotman]

20. But it's the worst deal ever made in the history of mankind

apparently

[JHan]

22. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - Iran's donald trump

23. Gallup poll of the world -- USA biggest threat to world peace.

http://www.wingia.com/en/services/end_of_year_survey_2013/global_results/7/33/

Zurich, Switzerland - 30th December 2013 - WIN/Gallup International, the leading global association in market research and polling, has today published, in collaboration with The BBC's Today programme, the results of its annual End of Year Survey which explores the outlook, expectations, hopes and fears of people from 65 countries around the world.

US is considered to be the greatest threat to peace in the world, followed by Pakistan and China

[Initech]

24. Thanks military industrial complex!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

29. That's a big part of it, but also fear mongering by the corporate media.

CNN's Dana Bash said this to Mike Pence the other day: "You know this is real for you? There are estimates that North Korea could have a missile ready that could hit the continental United States -- Seattle -- by 2020. Which is going to be on your watch!"

When she was later asked about him silently staring at her, Dana Bash was giggling about it. I was sickened by her behavior.

When we killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians during the idiotic invasion of Iraq, mostly over WMD's that didn't exist, that was barely covered either. Public TV gave it extensive coverage, at least.

[MedusaX]

30. Just a diversion

T-Rexxon is trying to appear Non-Pro Russian...
by shaking his little saber in Iran's direction...

Since he has to recuse himself from the Exxon Waiver Request to do bid-ness with Rosneft in the Black Sea...
he can indirectly bolster the "validity" of a decision to grant the waiver -- made by some other State dept schmuck-- by appearing to be soooo concerned about Iran..

The very fact that there was a recent determination that Iran is in compliance... means that no matter how much he rattles his little saber...
he will never actually have to follow through...
because someone else will prevent actual action from taking place based on Iran's being 'in Compliance'

[flamingdem]

34. Yes, more diversion bs

They are undermining US diplomacy. We wont' be taken seriously in the futuer
