    I don’t believe it til I see some photos of wreckage, or see a list of verifiable KIAs go out. In layman’s terms, “pics or it didn’t happen.” Amerika’s got too long a history of bullshitting atrocity for war for me to hand out my credulity that way.

    Totally normal that a US destroyer is stationed there. Totally normal.

    lol, in the finest American tradition:

    “Everything is quiet. There is no trouble. There will be no war. I wish to return.” To which Hearst’s alleged reply was: "Please remain. You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.

    An investigation in 1974, reached the opposite conclusion, that the explosion had originated inside the ship.
