I dunno. I think the Iranians are trying to provoke a serious confrontation, just to give them an excuse to try out some of those new anti-ship missiles they bought with the ransom money Kerry gave them.

In the U.S.A. of just a few decades ago, immediate impeachment!
I dunno. I think the Iranians are trying to provoke a serious confrontation, just to give them an excuse to try out some of those new anti-ship missiles they bought with the ransom money Kerry gave them.
Perhaps so, but there would be response, sooner rather than later.
They want more money
Just ONE would be enough.
I have no doubt in my mind that these little "harassments" are just softening us up until the day they are loaded with explosives.
Possibly, and it would be desirable. But, I can't help but wonder if this is a setup for a lone destroyer to get clocked by a load of anti-ship missiles. Then what? And with Obama as CIC with Hillary coughing in the wings?
I think if Trump were president now there would be some Iranian boats at the bottom.
Imagine if the Iranians were foolhardy enough to harass a Russian ship. Ivan would blow them out of the water and put the video on You Tube as a warning to others.
No, we need to rid ourselves of pussy scum like this mooselimb loving magic negro.
Hell, even Hillary at least has a set of balls.
Obammy’s never dropped.
I don’t think His Arrogance allows the “blowing away” of his fellow Muslims.
I guess the mullahs didn't get the memo.
Why would they change course?
Sounds like the Iranian Captain wanted to be just like Jack Kennedy and be the new PT-109. Give him his wish.
“But the whole world knows zero is a total pussy. “
Absolutely! It’ll take one of our commanders to ‘make a mistake’ and if they try to retaliate, call the jets and sink their whole navy in two hours!
Did you heros of war ever think about the caliber of the US Navy we may have now?-—ships can’t make tours on time because some of their women crew are pregnant and unavailable for shipping out-—remember the acts of the 2 boats that were captured because their crews were not schooled in navigation and the area they worked in-—the officer who decided not to fight back on his own instead of protecting US property and Honor-—these are your services after 8 years of bullshit PC and I wonder how many on FR voted for the half-breed in 2008?
FR has many “heros of war” eager to see our ships in action against Iranian swarm tactics. ‘Silkworm’ and other anti-ship missiles carried by swarm boats do not seem to worry them - the assumption, I guess, being that those missiles would either be taken out by what amounts to machine gun fire or bounce off harmlessly from the lightly armed patrol boats the Navy uses and manned by untested kids.
So far all the “heros of war” I’ve read are staunch Trump supporters who believe he would ‘cure’ the situation in a heartbeat, without realizing the 0bama is setting a stage that cannot be ‘cured’ without a major war, which because of interlocking treaties will involve Russia.
