KW: Roberts is clearly very worried about the unfolding events in the Middle East. Our media in New Zealand (TV1 Breakfast program) dutifully interviewed a U.S. plant to tell lies about who bombed the Saudi oil instillations. This American of Iranian origin is/ was the ‘perfect plant’ to spread his views about Iranina responsibility about the attack and the interview was one way, unchallenged or scrutinized in any way so New Zealanders were fed the lies the U.S. want you to believe….Iran di it. Evidence: 100% opinion, no facts
Equally one could argue that PCR’s opinion here is in the same catagory but it is an oposing and different view a whole lot more plausible that Iran picking a fight with the whole world. Even the announcer (Hayley ?) said but Iran is such a beautiful and peaceful looking place, over run by the Interviewees assertion its all about getting Iranian idealogy out there.
Meanwhile., unlike the totally biased reporting of TV! Breakfast that allowed this U.S. disinformation plant to rave on unchallenged………

With the war drums beating loudly ever since Mike Pompeo accused Iran of launching the drone strike that crippled Aramco oil production, moments ago the odds of an imminent war with Iran de-escalated materially after President Trump said it was “looking like Iran was behind this weekend’s attacks” on Saudi oil facilities, but added that “he doesn’t want to go war with anyone.”
“It’s certainly looking that way at this moment,” Trump says in response to a question whether Iran was responsible for the attacks.
“I don’t want to have war with anybody” but our military is prepared, Trump says at the White House, where he was meeting with Bahrain Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. Furthermore, the president said the US is not looking at retaliatory options until he has “definitive proof” that Iran was responsible for attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities.
Still, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that the US “is prepared” if the attacks warrant a response.
Also notably, when asked if he has promised to protect the Saudis, the president responded “No, I haven’t promised the Saudis that… We have to sit down with the Saudis and work something out.”
Trump’s statement followed a push by the White House to walk balk Trump’s belligerent “locked and loaded” comment from Sunday night. Meanwhile, in a separate confirmation that war tensions appeared to de-escalate, the Arab News, the semi-official paper of record of the royal family, reported that the Kingdom’s Foreign Ministry said international experts, including from the UN, will be invited to participate in the investigation to determine who was behind the attack, suggesting that a conclusive determination is at best weeks if not months away.
Armageddon on the Horizon? Paul Craig Roberts Trump supporters should let Trump hear from them as he is about to commit the United States to a war of
