Um, is Trump about to take us into to war with Iran to distract from his clearly impeachable offenses re Ukraine?
BREAKING: Defence Secretary Mark Esper announces that the US will send troops to Saudi Arabia that will be 'defensive in nature' and UAE will provide air and missile defense systems in light of strikes on Saudi Oil infrastructure. #WagTheDog
The Pentagon to deploy US troops to the Middle East on the heels of the Iranian attack on Saudi oil facilities [because there's too much heat on Trump's attempt to extort a foreign government into digging up dirt on his political opponent]. #WagTheDog cnb.cx/34XE7YX
Just a guess as to why this troop deployment to Saudi Arabia was announced tonight, @EPelofsky. It begins with a U and ends with -kraine.
@EPelofsky JUST IN: The Pentagon will deploy additional troops and military equipment to Saudi Arabia: "In response to the Kingdom's request, Trump has approved the deployment of U.S. forces."
@EPelofsky "The Pentagon will deploy troops and military equipment to Saudi Arabia: "In response to the Kingdom's request, Trump has approved the deployment of US troops to Saudi Arabia [to distract from his impeachable offenses re extorting Ukraine]."
You know who sees this as win-win?

@EPelofsky Trump dispatched US troops to the Persian Gulf ["at the Kingdom's behest"] and hasn't ruled out military action. Should US troops put their lives on the line for MBS' regime [just to deflect from Trump's clearly impeachable offenses re Ukraine]? Hell NO.

@EPelofsky “Trump has compromised all of these US interests. He walked away from the nuclear accord, even though Iran was observing it...in Apr, he sought to shut down all Iranian oil exports, a virtual act of war that led directly to last week’s attack.”
