SHRAPNEL OFF THE WALL

Damage Control With Lies

The killing of the Iranian top commander

was a mistake.

The Americans never knew who they were targeting.

Trump did not give the order.

He just learned of the raid from the reports.

Now the American military starts the damage control

as if they had the guy bracketed ever since.

The result will destabilize the region.

It will now be restricted to Americans.

They should now tread softly around people

with the likes of Arabs and such.

What the Americans call the enemy of the world

will now be united against the enemy that is the Americans.

Boy, what a boyish mistake that was.

The Saudis should now start shaking

under their turbans,

or headdress, whatever they call it.

(I would not worry about the Persians going against Canadians. We had nothing to do with it!)

Erdogan Gives the Finger

When Trump threatened to sanction Turkey

if the attacks on the Kurds are not stopped,

Erdogan just gave him the finger,

summarily debunking the celebrated Art of the Deal.

It is clear that Erdogan has the upper hand on this deal.

What is the deal all about?

I am guessing that Erdogan has the damning evidence

about the Khashoggi cut-up,

and the deal was to withdraw the American troops

or the evidence will be publicized.

Two things : he knows where the pieces were dumped,

or he has an audio recording of the butchery,

that divulges who were responsible for the crime.

This sends Trump in a corner if only to assist the cover-up.

Whatever it is, Erdogan will not halt the attacks until

he gets his safe zone, come Pence or high water.

A short, meaningful strip of land, Russia will give it to him.

That is, unless I miss my guess.

(Or Pence offers F-35’s)

The Kurds

Fierce Kurdish tribesmen held Alexander’s cavalry for a while.

But they have been an irritation to the borders

around Turkey and Iraq, or so it seems.

The Kurds have been the indispensable shield against the Isis.

But why has the Americans abandoned the Kurds

to the Turks who are vowed to obliterate them?

Well it is not exactly an abandonment–

it is a trade-off.

The Americans traded the Turks off

for the Saudis,

or some Saudi that we know.

Sad to say!

(most probably the Kurds will now negotiate with Assad)

Saudi Arabia

This is the comedy show

that Netflix was forced to take off the air.

Saudi Arabia

The Retreat

Erdogan pauses from his trumpeting call

to the world to investigate

Mohammed Bs for

 dismembering  Khashoggi.

Trump recalls his troops from Syria.

Mattis quits.

Turkey moves troops towards Syria.

The Kurds feel abandoned.

Russia starts military maneuvers.

Syria is relieved of foreign mercenaries

supplied and funded by the United States.

Assad prepares to repatriate Syrians.

And pay them for coming back.

Wait till Trump changes his mind!

Unbridled Truth in All These

In all the news obtaining

here is the unbridled truth.

If Crimea is Russian

then the waters from its shore

is Russian territory

and therefore the Ukrainian ships

were violating international law

and Russia was correct in using force,

which again makes the West gang up on it.

There is no need to declare martial law in Ukraine.

This incident is not internal

and there is no internal trouble in Ukraine

to make martial law necessary.

Somebody is grandstanding again to attract attention.

General Motors  shuts down several auto assembly plants.

If this is a business decision

there is nothing much that can be done about it.

Unless the company gets a huge bailout

which is what the owners were banking on

when the shutdown was made so sudden.

Khashoggi  was  simply  advocating  different priorities

for the industrialization of Saudi Arabia.

The economic development of Saudi Arabia would be screwed

should it again come out with the deplorable state

of it not being able to produce its own food.

Subduing Khashoggi

They say that it took four people to bring down Khashoggi.

I say it needed Five.

One guy to clamp his arm around Khashoggi’s neck

and force him to bend backwards.

A second guy to pin the left arm.

A third guy to pin the right arm.

A fourth guy to bind his struggling legs.

A fifth guy to stick the needle on to the only area that is open—-

THE  NECK.

Where is Khashoggi’s Body Parts?

A lot of guesses have been made

by well-meaning people.

The last guess was the parts were dissolved in acid.

This can’t be!

The choice of acid would have been caustic soda.

But this is used primarily in textile manufacturing

companies which are nowhere within the area of the consulate.

Besides, gallons of this has to be procured

enough to fill a bath tub.

Handling this will also be difficult.

Disposing the parts around a wooded area

would not be a good idea because the parts would stink.

Burying them would have a freshly dug earth conspicuous.

My guess is still the most plausible.

The parts are under sea water.

Perhaps thrown under a bridge or jettisoned somewhere.

Cremated?

Which crematorium?

Also not a Muslim custom.

A dead body will float after a while.

But not if it were dismembered.

And gorged over by the fish.

The suitcases nay float, though.

That was were I missed my guess.

I thought tbe parts would be in 15 suitcases

Reports say there were only 5.

Which one of the 5 contains the head?

To Bill Or Not To Bill

That is the question

poised on the Canadians

regarding the sale

of military equipment to Saudi Arabia.

half the people would say no to spite the Saudis

for running slaughterhouses

in their consulates.

The other half would say yes to recover

money spent on the building of the equipment.

There might be some choices to satisfy both sides.

One is to sell it to Iran.

Another is to sell it to Saudi Arabia at double the price.

The profits go to the Yemenis.

Premeditated Murder of Khashoggi?

Of course it was!

by Mohammed the bs?

Of course it is.

Will he get away with it?

Of course he will?

WHY?
Again I say,

read about Thomas Becket’s murder….

“Erdogan knows, but he has yet to get what he wants before he squeaks…”

Mohammed bs

And so the global boycott against Saudi Arabia

is started due to the inability

of the Saudi king to control his kingdom.

This boycott is directed mostly on

the heir apparent

Mohammed the bs

and that the critical news info

against him and this boycott

will stop only if

Mohammed the bs

is removed from power.

A newer more aggressive form of boycott

should be directed against what Saudi Arabia

stands for in the Islamic world—-

and that this place is the object of

the Pilgrimage—-

which is the crux of the worship

of the prophet Mohammed.

Travel restrictions to Saudi Arabia should do it.
