Maybe we could move to Cuba.

No.

However, sadly, surprisingly, and chillingly, the ONLY entity to stand up against Obama, Muslim terrorists, Muslim culture, EU socialists, environmentalists, leftist media, ultra rich socialist manipulators, and Marxist socialism, is.........

Wait for it........

Putin's Russian Federation.

Before ya panic, remember, Russia's government is much more Mafia like, than communist. Schemes to profit grandly from crony capitalism abound in Russia, and while communists have shadows of power, the tenets of communism are universally rejected, economically.

No. Too obvious. Wait until they just make it to the docks in Syria.

***That 1888 agreement is actually quite remarkable in that it doesn’t even allow any interference of transit through the canal in a time of war between the signatories.***

Yet during the Six Day War of 1967 the Egyptians sunk several vessels to block the canal till Israel and Egypt signed the Camp David Accords.

There was an end time movie where the stock market was hitting new highs while nukes were detonating in the middle east.

Maybe I'm missing something here. What's the big deal?

If you get an answer please ping me. I have been wondering the same thing.

I’d have more confidence in that if America was anywhere in the final battle. I think we have to be rendered irrelevant before Armageddon.

More likely that the naval commandos will attach tracking
devices or command detonated mines to the ships to be activated at a time and place that offers Israel plausible deniability.

At some time in the future the ships will mysteriously
sink due to an unknown internal explosion.

Reports say that the ships are bound for Syria (Latakia or Tartus ports).

Man, oh man, I just don’t know what to think...but none of the possibilities seem to lead to a good outcome.

I recognize and realize your reference. Asking for God’s confirmation though. Sometimes a book has missing chapters, therefore I will not count America out. IF missing chapters are a reality, then ifs and buts may present a Merry Christmas. I am Late, yet I understand your point.

I am not surprised. Mad not surprised. Next Iran will have film of Israel doing something to protect themselves and the regime/White House will portray it as a hostile act towards Iran. Not good at all.

Considering that Iran’s leader repeatedly calls for the destruction of Israel, and with all the protest in Iran, the Iranian Regime might just thing it’s time to start a little something with Israel to galvanize the protesters into supporting the regime. What better way to bring the lost sheep back home than to attack a (perceived) common enemy?

Other than that, it was big news when the Israeli submarine transitted the canal around June 2009, with news reports of an imminent attack by Israel on Iran.
