    Some US defence officials are now contradicting the bomb theory that Trump seems to have pulled out of his ass, then doubled down on in an attempt to not look like the fool he is.

    "the defense officials, who declined to be identified so they could speak freely, said they didn't know what the President was talking about."

    That Trump's babbling will feed straight into the antisemitism among the qanon.

    I like a good conspiracy theory. All that crackling sounds like bullets cooking off. You can even see what look like tracer coming out of fire.

    Could of course have been some ammunition stored in port or these might be fireworks stored here as well. But not sure why ammonium nitrate would crackle like this?

    It comes hot on the heels of a potential sabotage campaign in Iran though.

    Might be nothing. Maybe someone will come here and say that’s how fertiliser burns but it’s very easy to wonder if it was really fertiliser in there, and if it wasn’t then maybe someone wanted rid of it?

    I think the only responsible thing to do here is to blame someone. No need to wait for investigations or anything, clearly someone needs blaming and we should all jump on that. Preferably at the same time, on as many social media platforms as possible.

    Tonka coming across creepier than letsgo is quite a feat, actually seems to be getting enjoyment from this.

    I've seen a few videos and they're fucking scary. Whole buildings just gone within seconds and that shock wave is fucking massive. Hope people got lucky with the location of the blast and the number of casualties stay as low as possible.

    Thankfully just had an email from my colleague in Beirut, and he and his family are all okay. They live on the other side of the city from the port, but even there all of the windows were blown out in many of the properties. They thought it was an earthquake, such was the magnitude of the blast. Must have been very scary indeed.

    Conspiracy theories are fun. They’re like fanfic only they fuel bigotry and hatred. We should spread them like they have no consequences.

    Just watch out for any theories spread by this prick. They've shown that they can't be trusted.

    I wonder if he'll have different colours for each type of person affected to put into the spreadsheet?

    It was meant as a holy shit. I was shocked to be honest.

    What posts made it seem like I was enjoying it?

    I've no idea what that means. I'd genuinely appreciate if you'd elaborate.

    Both what a letsgo thread of yore is, and how my posts tie in to that.

    LetsGo used to be known, before he was the Brexit Evangelist, as the guy that always got in first with a celebrity death thread. He would title them 'Celebrity x RIP'
    FWIW I don't see your posts as gloating or enjoying them - it's a bit unfair to have labelled it as such

    I saw the explosion and thought it was something is like to talk about. I'm not on Facebook or reddit so EG it is.

    Saw no thread and forum search being what it is I still don't know what thread this had been discussed in.

    Was it wrong to start a separate thread about it? I'm not that into talking about videogames anymore, but I do enjoy the called input threads on here can get.

    For what's it's worth I didn't read your thread title as excitement. I think most people are just teasing.
