Poor Paul, as fact deprived as ever, thinks Trump calling the Beirut fire an attack is "without the slightest evidence".

As usual the fact-deprived Paul doesn't bother to look into it to become less fact-deprived. He just shoots from the hip and will now run for cover.

The fact is Trump was repeating what he'd been told by the US military - that there was a good chance this was an attack. By whom? Well take your pick - there's plenty of crazies in the region.

Oh just to fill in some of the gaps in the fact-deprived Paul's 'knowledge', there were also fires in two other food storage sites in the M-E within the last few days. Coincidence? Perhaps. But....

Quite how Trump saying it could be an attack is "dangerous to world peace" is really something that only someone so blinded by TDS would understand.

As I pointed out to Foxy t'other day, Trump currently is the first president since Hoover to have not started any new war or invaded a new country. The most peaceful of presidents.

But the fact-deprived may not recognise that

the terrible explosion in Beirut was an "attack". Attack by whom Donald,
Paul1405,
It was an attack by people of your mentality, selfish, incompetent bureaudroids etc. in Beirut Council !

Only an imbecile would be unable to see that the MAD philosophy has been completely successful for over 70 years, in which time Communism & socialism have failed numerous times, where ever they have been tried.

Of the 2 big experiments, USSR had to be broken up leaving just Russia to develop a capitalist economy after the total failure of central planning.

China saw the collapse of the USSR & switched to the capitalist model for the economy, if not it's political system, before total collapse.

Interestingly it is those that deny the necessity & ongoing good fallout of Little Boy that would plunge us into the catastrophe of central planning, despite all the evidence of the complete failure the system brings.

Hassy, I understand your love for atomic bombs.

mhaze, are you claiming the aggressive warmongers at the Pentagon wouldn't lie and call it an attack. The lies of US General warmongers are legendary.

"Three US Defense (that's a sick joke) Department officials told CNN that as of Tuesday night there was no indication that the massive explosion that rocked Beirut on Tuesday were an "attack," contradicting an earlier claim from President Donald Trump." The Donald is well known for lying.

Indy, is Beirut where you originally came from, no government la grasse there for you, so Australia here I come. Didn't you claim you haven't worked a day since 1972? The dole, then the aged pension, not bad for some, but hard on us taxpayers.

Paul,

Ya bozo. Trump is just saying it might be an attack...

"Trump added: “Some people think it was an attack and some people think it wasn’t. In any event, it was a terrible event and a lot of people were killed and a tremendous number of people were badly wounded, injured. And we’re standing with that country.

“But whether it was a bomb intentionally set off – it ended up being a bomb. But no, I’ve heard it both ways. It could have been an accident and it could have also been something that was very offensive.”

He'd been so advised by some of his military advisers. How you turn him saying it could have been this or it could have been that into a lie, is beyond my or medical sciences understanding.

And how saying it might be an attack is somehow "dangerous to world peace" is bizarre in the extreme. Especially when we're talking about someone as peace-loving as the Donald. :)

Hasbeen,

"Interestingly it is those that deny the necessity & ongoing good fallout of Little Boy..."

My impression is that history is now coming down on the side of the use of the bombs as being justified and largely beneficial to all concerned - American, Japanese, Chinese et al.

My feeling is that back in the 80s/90s people and historians were much more hostile to the event. But as with most things, time removes the partisan element and truth and rationality comes to the fore.

but hard on us taxpayers.
Paul1405,
Obviously not hard enough for the likes of you !
