Well, your profile says nothing, so maybe you are FOS as well.

Except I'm not. My name is John and LOTS of people on this board have known me in real life for many years now, in fact I'm friends (on social media and in real life) with many of them. I've pinged some. I can ping countless others.

Third time I'm asking now.... WHO ARE YOU? Still no answer?

you are quick to cut down anyone here with a different point of view than yours.

You not someone with a "different point of view." You're a yellow, mystery-meat poster who accuses posters here of working with our enemies and betraying our military members. i.e. TROLL.

Yes. I remember that accident and the subsequent actions by Iran. My point in this shoot down is this is going to cause a measured response, rightly or wrongly. I was really hoping all sides would back down. But, I don’t see that happening now.

“In before The Mullah Loving CIA Haters.”

One can distrust the CIA without being favorable to Iran. At this point if the CIA told me it was raining I’d stick my head out the window and look skyward.

I feel largely the same towards the FBI. That doesn’t mean I love criminals.

I pointed you to my profile.

Call me troll if you like. (oh, that hurt.)

Others here have called you out as a A$$hole. I will agree with them and leave it at that.

BS. Screw Iran. Iran is not ready for a war with us. Hell, our fighters off the carriers would destroy their air force before they could get those Russian made jets off the ground. Our cruse missiles could take out a ton of their stuff. I am not afraid of the Iranians. It is the Russians coming in to back them up that would be the problem.

But, I am not sure Putin is ready to attack America. He knows damned well that Trump would not back down and would nuke Moscow if he fired one nuke at the USA. He is doing in Venezuela what the Russians did in Cuba back in the 1960s. I was a kid, but I remember that Cuban missile crisis. It was on TV every night as our family sat at the table and watched the Huntley - Brinkley Report on TV. Mom liked them the best.

I would not be surprised that Putin might try to sneak in nukes down there for the shorter flight time to our bases and ports from Miami all the way around to Brownsville, Tx. Short flight time to Forts Bliss, Polk, Benning, Knox, (dang I cannot pull it out of my slowly going out of business mind, but the other large Army base in Texas, dang my brain cannot remember it) the Navy and Army flight schools in Southern Alabama and on the Fla coast, Southern Command down in Tampa. Lots of ports on the Gulf side of the coast line. The oil and gas plants in Texas and Louisiana. Lots of short flight time bases and targets to hit.

Article 19 also includes what is required of the Coastal State to allow for safe passage -

1. The coastal State shall not hamper the innocent passage of foreign ships through the territorial sea except in accordance with this Convention. In particular, in the application of this Convention or of any laws or regulations adopted in conformity with this Convention, the coastal State shall not:

(a) impose requirements on foreign ships which have the practical effect of denying or impairing the right of innocent passage; or

(b) discriminate in form or in fact against the ships of any State or against ships carrying cargoes to, from or on behalf of any State.

2. The coastal State shall give appropriate publicity to any danger to navigation, of which it has knowledge, within its territorial sea.

When you start mining waters used in international trade you pretty much lose claiming Article 19 protection IMHO.

This is most likely an improvement for you but fits the AAABEST name you invented for yourself...

Call me troll if you like.

I'm not calling you a troll, ARE a troll. Pointing people to an elaborate profile page/rant is meaningless.

No name, no friends, no FReepers know you yet you accuse us of working with enemies of the United States and against our military.

Thanks for playing.

The US objective is now clear as the nose on your face.

We intend to squeeze Iran until they pop.

The sanctions alone are enough to cause national collapse in a couple of years, if not sooner.

A modest, but very high profile military presence adds a degree or two as well. And NO DOUBT Iran is detecting stealth aircraft throughout their airspace.

Trump said Iran will not be allowed to develop nukes.

He meant it.

No matter the cost.

IRAN has been accused of using a fake photo in an attempt to 'prove' a US drone was over its territory before being shot down.

You are an insecure person, or drunk, or both. Grow up. You need to email all your friends to back you up? Whatever.

My home page states exactly why I am here, and I don’t need to justify anything else to you. The internet is anonymous. I will take you at your word as to who you are, but your positions I can stand against. I didn’t start this conversation. You stalked me out. And I don’t have to respond to insults.

Your behavior, not your opinion, is what defines you, sir. As others have posted, you put a photo of our Lord and Savior on your homepage, and then call people names and throw insults when you yourself admit you know nothing about those you insult. That’s why you should look in the mirror, if you actually have anything in common with your homepage pic. But I doubt you will.

Good day sir.

The same photograph - albeit in a wider crop - had previously appeared in a two-year-old report of a spy drone being shot down over Yemen in 2017
