French President Emmanuel Macron has said France deployed in the recent hours Rafale fighter jets, anti-air systems and air radars for the purpose of intercepting missiles and drones.

He also confirmed that Paris is sending its aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle – the flagship of the French Navy – towards the Mediterranean.

        “Ownership: Part of the Recurrent Ventures portfolio, which includes other defense-related, publications like Task & Purpose and We Are The Mighty.”… my ten second google search says this is basically a “defense” (read war monger) source. Is that true? If so, i wipe my butt with it.

        Part of the reason for american imperialism IS those oil assets (which are de facto american anyways, lets be real). Attacking that infrastructure is strategically smart as it creates far greater penalties than attacking schools and hospitals, like pissramerica is doing. I think it makes great sense for Iran to target those locations, especially because trumps unstated premise for attacking Iran is to have greater control over the global oil supply (amongst other things)

          Is that true?

          The source I linked is full of videos and other sources. Believe what you want.

          Iran is attacking many of the gulf states directly and it is forcing countries to move against them, as we see in OP’s link.

            I know but if youre source is indeed from war mongers, its less than useless. Its actively harmful.

            Those gulf states had already joined the americunt Imperialist terror regime.
