Mossad?

 

Agree with what GG and DButton said that it's unlikely -- doubly so for my tea leaf reading considering the first wave of social media propaganda after the explosion (within minutes) from Syria, Iran and Hezbollah cut outs were all about an Israeli fighter plane initiating the attack. That much disinformation so fast makes me rule them out.

2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded from a nearby fire.  The cause of the fire hasn't been disclosed.

 

In any event, who stores ammonium nitrate next to a fireworks warehouse?

 

The fertilizer had supposedly been there for about 6 years. Not sure if that came before or after the fireworks.

I saw that story, but there was another one that said the 2,700 was an accumulation of the nitrate over the 6 year period.   In any event, it's massive incompetence to store that quantity in an urban area.

Whoever was storing that stuff was selfish, or stupid or bad actors.

If Lebanon wasn't a failed state, they'd probably enforce regulations that are or were once in place to prevent such a dangerous situation.  That would have taken care of selfish and stupid.

Thousands of lives are affected by this tragedy, if not lost, and you all think it's a big joke? Is there any wonder why no one takes you seriously?

 

Your lack of interpretive skills are what's funny.

 

As Trump says of the pandemic, "It is what it is".

 

What a great leader.

And that’s the problem with how warped your mind really is.  This has nothing to do with him, it’s a human tragedy that affects many people.

I'm very much aware of who YOUR president is, Hemp.

BTW -- "Some people did something." That's your party. Right there. A bunch of racists and anti-Semites.

 

Somebody's smoking.
