WASHINGTON — The Pentagon approved the deployment of a Patriot missile defense battery and a Navy ship to the Middle East amid increasing tensions between the United States and Iran.
The USS Arlington and a Patriot battery will join the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and a U.S. Air Force bomber task force, which were deployed earlier in the week to the region in response to “heightened Iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations.”
The Patriot missile system, manufactured by Raytheon, is combat-tested against aircraft, drones, cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles. The system is currently deployed in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Honestly, I pray that open conflict does not come - Iran is not a serious threat to the United States though the law of unintended consequences comes into play. Some have said this could be a normal transition of carrier fleets as there has almost always been a carrier presence in the Gulf - I have my doubts that is the case.
Okay boys and girls, let’s get this war started - no more idle threats.
There’s people to kill, infrastructure to destroy, blood to be spilled...
Yeah!
Peace through strength!
Yeah!
Yes...Yes...Yes...Let it start, we need more Muslim refugees from those hellholes.....
Nothing’s gonna happen unless they do something first. A pipsqueak nation who threatens it’s neighbors more than they do us. On the other hand we DO owe them a punch in the nose.
If Iran is dumb enough to attack any of our forces in the middle east, Iran will become a glass parking lot.....
They took our embassy and theyre still there. No glass parking lot.
“Nothings gonna happen unless they do something first.”
Maybe, but a false flag might help the situation along as well.
Right now we are being invaded and the "smart"(?) people who rule us are protecting ragheads from other ragheads...
There’s also a Prophecy to fulfill.
Namely, Isaiah 17 & Ezekiel 37 & 38. It’ll happen no matter what preventative measures are attempted in vain.
This will Build The Wall and Lock Hillary up in NO TIME..!
*** If Iran is dumb enough to attack any of our forces in the middle east, Iran will become a glass parking lot.....***
If “Iran” attacks, it will probably be a USS Liberty Redux, although our “closest allies” hoped Egypt would be blamed for that.
This will Build The Wall and Lock Hillary up in NO TIME..!

Our government, and our president, have always performed more than one task at a time, so we’re in good hands.
Thanks ransomnote.
Soon and very soon
Iran is looking at our base in Syria at Al-Tanf which controls the Lebanese border preventing Iran from building a highway from Tehran to the Mediterranean. They have been massing proxy troops loyal to Al-Qods commander, Gen Soleimani, and thousands of advanced missiles some with ranges up to 1000km
The attack(s) are being planned by master-plotter Qais al-Khazail, head of the Iraqi Kataib Hezballah militia.
Using small boat swarm attacks on the Navy or shipping is not the objective, and at best a diversion. Such an attack does not directly benefit Iran, but does cause the west pain. Al-Tanf, on the other hand, is a direct benefit.
They took our embassy and theyre still there. No glass parking lot.
The Golden Egg is to lay a severe blow on one of our carriers, either knock it out of action or preferably sink it. There are several countries who have hyper sonic missiles that may be capable of this, especially if several are launched simultaneously. I suspect our Navy doesnt want to test this; example, we havent sent a carrier battle group through the Straits of Taiwan for awhile now. Its possible that the carrier is in a similar situation that the battleship was upon the start of WWII, dead man walking but didnt know it at the time. Eventually, some third rate power will test one of our carrier groups. It will be interesting to see if we have the capacity to defend it. We shall see, Im thinking....
Define “a serious threat”...Iran would love to get a nuke onto our turf and it may be that a serious slap down may be the only thing that gets her attention to the point where the mullahs are deposed.
