"Iranian Revolutionary Guard boats tried to seize British oil tanker in Strait of Hormuz, senior US defense official says"
I have yet to see any evidence proving this claim, me thinks they're making shit up so they can attack Iran.
It was in response to seizure of Iranian tanker that traveled half the world to deliver oil to Syria which is starved by the hegemons and their criminal sanctions.

EDIT:
This is, actually, how NATO reacted after Turkey downed Russian bomberjet I think. So after Turkey served for NATO for years as one of the main jihadist training camps and hubs for transport of terrorists and equipment to Syria they threw Turkey under the bus. And, then, they tried to launch very weakly preppared coup. Funny...
EDIT 2:
Aye, it's an article from 2016:

•“It is a bluff” for concessions.
• “I wouldn’t believe that for a second until I see with my own eyes that S-400s are actually in Turkey”

The main reason for my wish to change this society is that so many human skills have no chance to come to fruition. Instead they are used in a really sick way so that people are maintaining their own suffering from wars, hunger and illness. But it can not be changed "top-down", only in some kind of "grassroots revolution" or better "evolution" where more and more people work together to get rid of TPTB (whoever that is).
No need for a "big event" but development. One of my ideas to reach it: Don't play "their" games - don't use "their" rules - don't think in the box of "their" paradigms.
It's more "refuse" than "resist" - without too much ideology. You don't need to know much about "what's going on behind the curtains", it's mainly to create your own rules together with like-minded people.
That is what I mean with "I'm on the side of the people".

Re: #29 - Main news thread - conflicts, terrorism, crisis from around the globe
Following last weekend's leak of diplomatic cables involving the UK's ambassador to the US and rumors that there was to be further embarrassing leaks to be published in the print media this upcoming weekend Scotland Yard is now threatening to prosecute anyone who publishes leaked diplomatic cables in a move that MPs said risked turning Britain into a “police state”.
Counter-terrorism police began an investigation into the leak of diplomatic cables and warned newspapers and social media users that they would be committing a criminal offence by publishing further secrets.
The statement from Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu came less than 36 hours before a Sunday newspaper was expected to print further revelations from diplomatic cables thought to have been leaked by a mole in Whitehall.
Norman Lamb, the former health minister who chairs the science and technology committee, said any move to prosecute publishers of leaks was “totally unacceptable” and “contrary to whole principle of a free press”.
Mr Lamb said: “We can’t contemplate any slippery slope to a police state that accepts that sort of limitation on the freedom of the press to report.”
Bob Seely, a Tory MP who sits on the Commons Foreign Affairs committee, said: “This is a dangerous road to go down. Once you start prosecuting the media for publishing stuff you don’t like, that is a very dangerous place to be. You are effectively justifying state action against the media. We need a free press more than ever.
“Prosecute the leaker, if they breached the Official Secrets Act, but you don’t prosecute the media.”
Mr Seely said it would “set a really dangerous precedent”, adding: “I suggest the police think again about that.”
