5TH ANNUAL TBILISI INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

Less than 24 hours after a major attack by at least 10 drones or cruise missiles on key Saudi oil facilities, the rhetoric in the Middle East is heating up and the region appears to be on the brink of conflict.https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/S...ial-conflict-US-blames-Iran-for-attack-601683

Iran has been behind 100 attacks on Saudi Arabia, said Pompeo, and that Tehran “has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply.”
At first, the Houthi rebels appeared to take credit for the attack, which was some 1,200 km. away from Yemen. This is improbable as there is little evidence that their drones or cruise missiles can fly that far.
An escalation has already happened, but Riyadh and Washington must weigh what a response could mean across the Gulf and in neighboring countries such as Iraq and Yemen.
But most of those astride the Gulf don’t want a conflict. Trump has been reticent as well, eschewing air strikes in June after a US drone was shot down. Yemen has been an easier proxy war. But Abqaiq is not Abha or Jizan, it is a major strategic asset. Even though it was threatened in the past by terror attacks, this appears to be wholly new in the sophistication of the drone or missile technology used.

[ Looks like a drone war is likely. Saudi will have to be decisive in any attack as Israel and USA look on ]

Speculation on my part here but this seems to have the potential to escalate dramatically and comments like Pompeo's suggest that's exactly the track it's on. :2twocents

As you no doubt know,Australia trains UAE troops-those that seized Aden for a short time.What I believe is that the federal police raids on journalists is to support the secrecy of Australian forces abroad-especially when they are involved in unacceptable behaviour .
 
It could have easily been done by the Houthi. They just needed to drive a truck up, unload some low level drones and do the work. We are not getting any information. The resistance in WW2 did a lot worse.
 
Price of oil has jumped .. No surprise here. US trying to blame Iran. Iran saying eff off and making it clear there will be consequences if they are attacked.

Depending on how long it will take to repair the Saudi refinery losing 5m barrels of oil a day will turn the oil market on its head.
Implications for world economies are ........ (chose own word.)

Iran warns US it’s ‘ready for fully-fledged war’ after drone attack on oil rig
Before and after pictures show how armed drones carried out a devastating attack that wiped out five per cent of the world’s crude oil supplies.

The United States doubled down on its claim that Iran was behind attacks on Saudi oil refineries on Sunday, despite Houthi rebels saying they launched the attack from Yemen.

From the article:
"We allege the woman attempted to steal $1.5 million as part of a sophisticated global network," he told a press conference on Tuesday. Acting Commander Goldsmith said the total fraud could be as high as $10 million.

The super funds affected include Club Plus Superannuation, HESTA, Hostplus, AustralianSuper and LUCRF Superannuation.

Funny stuff. I thought it was from when he was in school. But he was apparently 29 in one of the photos.
Politicians everywhere must be shaking in their boots, if they're to be hung on indiscretions from their past. There wouldn't be many cleanskins in Parliament.
 
Big news on ABC.

The third one was as a Genie, bit better than the earlier ones.
Trudeau appears to have really loved putting the make up on.

I know in the USA and Canada its a big deal but over here the whole issue feels forced.

My brother was Black Sambo in the kinda play (as a 4 year old). All painted up etc. He must be quaking in his boots. My Dad got black to sing old man river in a Samaritan's production in the 1960s (Oh the horror).

It does feel forced. But the left hangs themselves on their own pc standards. We are starting to see a bit of a backlash by comedians, finally.
 
Indonesia is heading in a worrying direction. Flogging young Indonesian couples who are not married. I could care less about aussie bogans not getting action. But they are becoming very restrictive over there
 
Your 7cents a day buys ABC News Breakfast which sometime interviews US people with raised melanin. The hosts cheerfully talk about blacks to the Afro American guest. So one of them asked Virginia Trioli how are the olives? She went red and Michael Rowland went white(r).
 


Canadian liberals falling over themes to forgive him, but imagine if it was Trump, or Johnson, or Scomo.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't see anything wrong with it, but Mo is right, this is the cancel culture that the left has created, but I now are not living up too because it's one of their own.

Thats where it all falls down. If you want society to eat this sht, probably a good idea to practice what you preach.

Personally I could care less if he wants to black up. And yes I understand the history. If you want to be outraged, then its easy to do.
I find the virtue signaling amusing though. Perhaps he will don traditional African garb to appease the sjw.
