The US Navy has become a joke. A few drones and speedboats scare the hell out of US Navy Warships. America needs new leadership yesterday.

Those in power have decided the future is female and not white.
America will crumble without white men in charge.
Examples? The non white world.
Good luck bitches.

I’d say it’s time to spin up the Phalanx anti-missile system.

Biden and Blinken still want to play footsie with these terrorists. Wouldn’t be happening if Trump were still president.

The targets are moving too slowly for Phalanx.

Sailors are not scared. Change the ROE and let them squids loose! But no, after all, Eagles don’t soar with flies. A shame, because we can swat the devil out of them.

It’s long past time for a declaration of war leading to regeime change in Iran.

Iran exports terrorism

Iran holds hostages for ransom money.

Iran is developing nuclear weapons and rockets to deliver them to europe

The religious fanatics in charge of Iran believe they have to bring about the end of the world by making way for the last Madhi.

(Islamic eschatology (Arabic: عِلْم آخر الزمان في الإسلام, ‘ilm ākhir az-zamān fī al-islām) is a field of study in Islam concerning future events that would happen in the end times. It is primarily based on sources from the Quran and Sunnah. Aspects from this field of study include the signs of the final age, the destruction of the universe and Judgement Day.[1][2][3]

The general consensus of Muslim scholars agree there would be tremendous and distinctive signs before the world ends. Among which would be an era of trials and tribulations, a time of immorality followed by mighty wars, worldwide unnatural phenomena and the return of justice to the world. Defining figures are also prophesied such as the Mahdi, and the Second Coming of Isa AS (known as Jesus in Christianity) who bring about a heavenly victory against Dajjal (Antichrist according to Christianity) ending with the release of Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog) to the world.[4] Once all the events are completed, the universe shall be destroyed and every human being would be resurrected to be held accountable for their deeds.[5][6]

I had read the novel “The Twelfth Imam” some years ago which addresses the philosophy of which you are speaking. Grim.

What an embarrassment for any patriotic American,,,

The cowardly scumbag communists who control, staff, populate, and train this country’s so-called military have done their jobs well...

There are hundreds-of-thousands of true American heroes spinning in their graves in Iron Bottom Sound, the Philippine Sea, and the waters around Okinawa...

As someone who is old enough (89.7) to remember those battles, IMHO this country has become a stinking cesspool of cowardice...

Those Iranian bass boats were hardly swarming around the Battaan. However, under the Obama/Biden regime, they did get US sailors to surrender and hand over all their sensitive equipment.
