“I won’t have that !

Canada is providing three petty officers, and the ship’s cat.”

I’d take the cat if it was like Simon from HMS Amethyst.

Well feel free to spit on the mat and call the cat a bastard.

Joe Biden is weak and they don’t want to get sucked into what could easily turn into a major regional war with Iran.

From the Canadian Navy, more likely Sam from the Bismarck, which also survived two subsequent sinkings.

Personally I think an emp device might just save America from itself. The www really screwed the world up. Yes it has some awesome aspects to it but the cancer it causes is pushing us to hell on earth.

If they are not sending warships, then they are not “participating”.

Heinlein. But he didn’t originate it. Bertram Chandler made it popular.

Nope - my car GPS could do it with the signals the ships put out as SOP.

It might be simple to hit your neighbor’s house next door, but a ship hundreds of miles away is another story.

WWII showed oil tankers are hard to sink. But if they cause a significant leak and oil spill where it can be noticed the environmentalist lefties will freak out. And want Joe to do something about it. 🍿

The ship doesn't appear to be tied to Israel in any way. Why would they care, especially when they're already pretty busy in Gaza?

Not to mention what a major run up it the price of oil.

With 2024 being an election year, Biden can’t afford to a major spike in oil prices, he could easily do some foolish things in response.

2024 is shaping up to be one helluva year.
