Horsefly Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 As if the Coronavirus is not enough, we may be dealing with military escalations with Iran. if there ever was a time for bipartisanship it’s now! Let’s see how our gov leaders respond to these crises. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/12/politics/coalition-airstrikes-retaliation-iraq/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Saw that too...Yes the world is still going to spin, Corona virus or not... Not so sure about "escalation fears" tho... Looked to me like somebody popped off one truckload of missiles and ran, on the anniversary of airstrikes that killed their general... But since they managed to get casualties this time, a forced 'measured' (supposedly) response makes the news....barely... Lots of other news being missed as well, but you are only supposed to buy what is being promoted... 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether meant to be or not, stuff like this virus can be used for cover for a lot of other newsworthy activities, by friend or foe...
