Israel says US helped coordinate gasfield attack, despite Trump's claim he knew nothing about it
Weve just heard from Pete Hegseth. He reiterated the claim from Donald Trump that the US president knew nothing about the attack on Irans South Pars gasfield.
However, Reuters is reporting that Israel says its attack on the gas facilities was coordinated with the United States.

(20,498 posts)but U.S. currency is based on nothing too. I'm not sticking up for Bitcoin. Far from it. Bitcoin was designed for criminals' use.
We used to have gold and silver backing-up our currency. Nixon took care of that so foreign countries couldn't run at our gold supply. Funding the Vietnam "conflict" was costlier than the hawks figured.
And the rest is history, as they say. 😉

(922 posts)Notice Hegseth saying Trump didn't know. He never said he didn't know or didn't coordinate it.
Since Trump knows everything by osmosis, it's possible no one told that dithering idiot anything. Or he dozed off when they did.
Either way, the buck stops with Trump and his admin.
