Not an unprecedented tactic- during the Battle of the Atlantic, a Royal Canadian Navy corvette forced a u-boat to surface. It surfaced right next to the corvette in a position where neither crew could train their guns on the other. After the Canadians bombarded the Germans with coke bottles, the German crew surrendered.

Good on them!!!

It’s a sad day when the US is outdone by some third world hell hole country. At least they have the wherewithal to fight back.

Not that our soldiers don’t. I’m sure they wish they could.

I recognize that it comes from higher up.

Of it's own invention is right! The Third World has no better friends than Western idiots. The Third Worlders wouldn't be anywhere without the West, but if the West is determined to destroy itself....

Bottles used pictured here. That's all well and good. But what did they use the miniature woman for?
