You’d think the Iranians might remember “Operation Praying Mantis” when Reagan sank about half the Iranian navy in less than a day.

[Alberta's Child]

The Americans only responded to the Barbary Pirates because they were attacking U.S. ships and disrupting American commerce.

If President Jefferson had dispatched the U.S. Navy to the Mediterranean Sea and landed the Marines in Tripoli to protect Danish ships operating under the flag of Singapore transporting cargo from Asia to Europe, he would have been set on fire on the front lawn of Monticello.

The Americans and America that took care of the Babary Pirates are both gone now. They have been replaced by slackers, wokesters, cowards, communists and an invading army of beaners. The pirates are safe now.

Not Biden’s America. It’ll be buns up to the Islamics

[eyeamok]

The Iranians ought to remember that history; it did not end well for the Muslims.

Things are different now, we got Bath House Barry the Marxist Muslim pulling the strings and salivating at the chance to wave the White Flag and surrender the USA to the UN

[buckalfa]

If Iran tries, I am sure Team Biden’s response will be measured and proportional 😂😂😂😂😂.

🎶 From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli... 🎶

[rktman]

Likelt to. ask them to perform “Pirate of Penzance”. Also thinking this ain’t the same country that “ handled” the Barbary pirates.......🤔

***how Americans handled the Barbary Pirates****

But, that was when we had a REAL PRESIDENT! Not the senile mouthpiece we see today.

[marktwain]

Yes, they had Thomas Jefferson.

And the Marine Corps which proudly remembers the "shores of Tripoli" is in the process of being destroyed by the Biden administration.

[G Larry]

If only we had “Americans” leading the country now....

[Bonemaker]

"...The Islamic Republic might want to reflect on how Americans handled the Barbary Pirates.."

Yes, but those were Americans not Obama/Biden democra5s,

This reminded me of the story that after settling the war with the 3 North African pirate kingdoms captain Decatur
was returning home, in the Mediterranean sea aboard the
American frigate Lawrence.

His lookouts noticed 3 ships approaching. They were from the
Barbary kingdoms and Capt. Decatur wasn’t taking any chances.
He ordered the guns rolled out and the call to battle stations.
As the ships closed the lead Barbary ship hailed the Lawrence.

Now the normal, accepted hail in these days was “what ship”.
and the hailed ship would respond with the ships name and usually where you were out of( the port).

But the barbary ship called out, “ where are you going”.
This was a rude way of asking a question that was none of their business.

So Captain Decatur hailed back, “ anywhere I want”.
He then continued on his way.
We need Captains like him now.
