It's really amazing what craftsmanship goes into building these large scale R/C models.

like this one. Overall, it's nice, but the Mercury (?) outboard spoils the effect. Plus they should have cropped the guy with the controller standing in the puddle on far right. But hey, some photoshop work and bingo.

I don’t know, but a little rust dissolver and Davy Jones will have some new residents. The funny part is if these POS’s sink in transit say around the Cape of Good Hope we’ll get the blame.

They are taking the long route by going around the tip of South Africa.

yes indeed (and sending Iran back to the stone age is not a very expensive train ticket)

Just blow them out of the water and blame a Chinese laser weapon test gone awry.

I like that idea. More plausible than blaming a video leading to the death of an ambassador.

Given their condition the ships are probably a bigger threat to their crews than to anyone else.

Headed to the Gulf of Mexico, eh? The Frigate carries four C-802 anti-ship missiles. As for the Tanker, it does have some armaments and can accommodate three helos in the helicopter hangar.

Why didn’t the Iranian tubs go through the Suez Canal?

Would your President Kennedy have been another that would have “drew a line” in the water of the Atlantic Ocean?

Possibly?

Then again, the current edition of the CP-USA/DNC would have never allowed him to be POTUS to begin with.

Ships sailing off our coast, in international waters are free to go where they want. We cannot, and should not do anything about it. Our warships go a hell of a lot closer to Iran than these ships will ever get to our shores.

A little context is in order here.

So we’ve established that Obama’s an enabler. Now what?

Let them travel the world. What’s the difference to America?

Back to the Stone Age......should be a clue.

I have given up on BB's rhetoric. Iran will have nuclear weapons, if in fact they don't already.
