But you knew that already and posted your crap anyway.
I don’t remember that. Have a link?
That force could do a pretty good number on Iran’s refineries and refined products import terminals.
(Note that said action is NOT to cripple Iran’s oil exports. The purpose is to starve them of fuel, as Iran is a net importer of refined products anyway. No fuel, not much military capability for long, except missiles.)
I do agree about internal threats to the US. The attacks on Israeli military communications last Saturday were apparently effective.
That said, if Iran sunk a US carrier, all hell breaks loose.
And, just for general discussion: While a carrier force has the advantage of mobility, sink a carrier and that carrier’s capability is gone for a long time. Reconstituting a land base, even if hit by several (conventional) missiles, is a lot easier.
Excellent post.
Huh? Trump talks about that all the time. Most every rally, any interview that touches on the subject...
But, ok, here:

Start at 2:20 if you want to cut to the quick.
You're lying and trying to rewrite history. It's not going to work.
No one, as far as I can see, verified the exchange where Trump acted tough with the Taliban founder. It was something Trump claimed in interviews and in speeches. It’s not like Trump to make crap up.
Maybe Abdul came to him with tears in his eyes and called him sir.

Asked how the Trump administration would have proceeded with the withdrawal, Pompeo stressed that the administration had “conditions attached to how we were thinking about this withdrawal,” and that he personally was “part of those negotiations.”
“I was also in the room when President Trump made very clear to Mullah Baradar, the senior Taliban negotiator, that if ya threaten an American, if you scared an American, certainly if you hurt an American, that we would bring all American power to bear to make sure that we went to your village, to your house. We were very clear about the things that we were prepared to do to protect American lives,” the former diplomat, who also previously served as Trump’s CIA chief, said.
On Thursday, Trump himself said that he had had discussions with top Taliban leaders and made clear to them that “what they are doing now would not have been acceptable” if he were still president. “It would have been a much different and much more successful withdrawal, and the Taliban understood that better than anyone,” he claimed.
Sputnik globe? Lmao.
