    Trump said the US was “locked and loaded”, ready to respond to attacks on an oil facility in Saudi Arabia, in which it believes Iran was involved.

    Drone attacks are to blame, and China is the world's leading drone manufacturer and closest ally of Iran. 

    How can disaster be averted? Who can stop a slide into a wider war that could swiftly engulf regional states from Israel to Saudi Arabia, and drag in US, Chinese and maybe even Russian forces into a greater global conflict?

      Yes under another President. No under Trump.

      He badly wants a war to distract people from the way he has handled the economy, the environment, our allies, the Wall, his Russian backers, etc.

        That is a concern, if we are in the middle of WWIII chances of him being replaced as President is slim.

        I try not to consider that scenario.

        Trump served a purpose, and he set many things in motion that could be turned to an advantage if the right person becomes President after him like a Warren or Gabbard, leaders looking to make positive change... not an old cronie like Biden.

    Iran claims they did not attack the oil facility in Saudi Arabia. Probably another flase flag attempt. Last Iran major war was with Iraq. If American can't get two countries to attack each other, they have to go in themselves and to steal the oil and their own people's tax dollars.

    Trump said he dose not want to attack Iran. Why not? maybe because Iran is ranked 14th largest military. Could be even more trouble tie in tight with China and Russia and much of middle East defense. It won't be as easy as Obama attack on 8 weaker countries with weaker ties.

    Could  this be south America for me, stay tune for the next ugly freak show.
