He would have been happy to see this.
Saw this on BBC and guess who’s side BBC is on ,D’oh
No, that was not a consideration.
First there were speed boats. Then there was a small helicopter thaat flew very very close and was chased away by an American helicopter. Then there was a drone. It got too close and was shot down.
The American drone incident was not cause for shooting down the Iranian drone.
To equate the two is to not understand what happened
A Reporter on board recorded all the events that transpired and published a very informative article.
I think it’s time we cut off Iran’s ability to purchase Evinrude Outboard Motors so as to cripple their Navy.
As I understand it the Iranians refuse to admit they had a drone shot down. Well, in that case let’s shoot down every one we can and let them keep denying it.
Someone set us up the bomb.
I saw the name of the ship and immediately got sick wondering if it was named for that nutty Kalifornia Senator. Thankfully, it’s named after a ship the the US Navy captured from the Brits in the War of 1812.

Not shot down - jammed and crashed. The Crotch has mobile jammers (MRZR-mounted, anti-UAS Marine Air Defense Integrated System) - the 21st Century Marines are here
This might be the latest update:
“U.S. Marines Jam an Iranian Drone in the Gulf, Destroying It”
The U.S. “took defensive action” against a drone that had “closed into a very, very near distance,” Trump said.
Note the very end of the article:
CORRECTION (July 18, 2019, 7:11 p.m. ET): An earlier version of this article misstated the action taken by the U.S. military to bring down an Iranian drone in the Gulf. The drone was jammed; it was not shot down.
