They have sold these missiles to Iran. Iran has fortified the shallow narrow Persian Gulf where at least a dozen big blue water ships of the US Navy including two carriers are on station. It is conceivable that the US Navy faces a debacle worse than Pearl Harbor in 15 minutes. Call it the Geico scenario.
i’d call it the president dingleberry craps his pants scenario.
