Israel has been trying to start a war in the middle east for the past 2 years.  Last year, Israel caused a Russian Plane full of Russian soldiers to be shot down.  That is an Act of War in anyone's book.  But thanks to Trump's meeting with Putin in Vietnam and in Helsinki, Putin refused to take the bait and did not retaliate.  Instead Putin installed a sophisticated missile defense system (S-300) in Syria, which Israel has been complaining about ever since.  But Israel only has themselves to blame for their war plans that blew up in their faces. They do NOT want Trump to remove U.S. Soldiers from the middle east, as Trump announced last December.  Israel wants Americans to die for them.  Israel hates Christians and hates Muslims, so do the math, nothing would make them happier than to have the two fight each other (and kill as many as possible).    Now we suddenly have a war brewing in the middle east. More here: https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3216511#submissionTop  Does this help?   If the strait of Hormuz is plugged up for awhile with sunken Tankers, no oil can get out of the middle east.  Price of Oil = Supply and Demands.  With a constant demand, and a sudden drop in Supply, the price of all remaining Oil goes up. For example, if EU or China now has to buy oil from the USA, more bidders for the same barrels of Oil, the oil is going to go to the highest bidder.  Get it? For those who "don't get it": Israel wants to keep the U.S. Military in the middle east, so U.S. soldiers can die for them. The Deep State wants to plug up the straits of Hormuz, so that oil tankers can't get through, and thus the price of oil will sky rocket, and that will plunge the world into a recession/depression. The Deep State has been trying to start wars and trying to destroy our Economy so Trump will not win in 2020. Do the MATH! So this false flag attack kills two birds with one stone.
