Speaking to reporters during a visit to Norway, German Foreign Minister
Heiko Maas has dismissed the US military’s video, saying it is not
sufficient to prove Iran was behind attacks on tankers in the Gulf of
Oman on Thursday.
“The video is not enough. We can understand what is being shown, sure, but to make a final assessment, this is not enough for me,”
Maas said. President Trump insisted earlier in his own comments to
reporters that the video was enough and clearly proved Iran was behind
the attack.
The video itself was release late Thursday night by US Central Command,
and is quite problematic. It is grainy black and white footage of a
boat, putatively Iranian, alongside a ship, putatively one of the
tankers. The first few seconds show movement that might suggest an
interaction of some sort, then the next minute and a half show nothing,
but zoom in and zoom out in jarring ways.
All of this is meant to prove Iranian sailors removed an unexploded mine
from the boat, though there would be multiple problems with that, as
the holes in the ships were far above the water line, where a mine
explosion would take place, and the boat in question in the video also
seemed to be focused on a part of the ship too high out of the water to
possibly be a floating mine.
With the Japanese ship’s crew describing the attack as caused by
something flying at the ship in the air, not the water, the entire mine
story is on shaky ground, and to the extent the US believes this video
is demonstrative of the mine narrative, it too is very weak.
What an amateurish false flag operation.
At least the U.K. is embarrassing itself like the good little toadies the are. How could they proclaim, ‘no other country in the region has the capability to create that type of damage’ when the damage hasn’t even been inspected.
The U.K. doesn’t even have a naval presence there anymore, they couldn’t find their rear ends with both of their hands.
Plus it’s a bald face lie. EVERY country in the region has the capability to create that type of damage.
Japan was about to reach a breakthru with Iran but the puppet masters based in the City of London corp require war mayhem and divisiveness in order to maintain control.
US puppet is asking its master to make a better ( Fake ) video.
Obviously the video is proof. You just have to play it backwards to see that Iran is actually attaching a mine to the ship. A technique which is well known in the music industry for inserting satanic messages in a record.
In the end it will be the sailors of these ships who can provide the most reliable, perhaps the only reliable reports of what they observed.
They were closer to what happened than Bolton and Pompeo.
As soon as the German Foreign Minister said there needed more proof, US spooks (and traitors) went back to the drawing board to provide just that. Meanwhile, US diplomats (and traitors) began to put pressure on the Germans to accept whatever bogus “proof” the US came up with.
Which raises the question: if fabricating intelligence that gets the US into a war where a lot of people get killed doesn’t qualify as treason then perhaps we really need to redefine what “treason” means to include those actions.
That’s not treason under it’s current definition anyway.
What part of it SHOULD BE part of the definition did you miss?
The part that says you’re selling out to another country and betraying your own.
see: Benedict Arnold
the part that you yourself said it had to be re-defined, meaning it’s not now.
??? Never said it WAS. Did I?..
