The good thing about this Kung Flu is that it took out a disproportionate amount of Iran’s leadership.

I wonder about Iran. Does Iran actually have the will to actually attack the USA?

It is my observation that Iran never actually does anything. Iran uses cut outs, payed surrogates in all shooting endeavors. Perhaps they were close to acting in Iraq and the main man was taken out. I don’t know what’s happening in Iraq now

However that is different on the water. There can be no misidentification or cut out there.

That does not mean a US Navy commander should not be ever vigilant

The rules have now changed. Having been put on formal notice, will the harassment continue. If yes, at what distance?

Financed by the Left’s wonderful President Obama’s $ billion give-away to our declared enemies.

BTW, when will Obama be indicted for treason in doing this?

Eleven Iranian vessels repeatedly conducted dangerous and harassing-approaches of the USS Lewis B. Puller (ESB 3)

The Puller... that be Chesty Puller

Lt. Gen. Lewis "Chesty" Puller was a Marine’s Marine. A bonafide badass leatherneck with the scars to prove it. But this badass had one soft spot—his fierce loyalty and care for his men. Puller’s leadership is one of the reasons why to this day, Marine Corps officers in the field never eat until the enlisted men have been served.

The islamics don't know who they tangled with.

Puller was the most decorated Marine in history, and the only Marine to receive five Navy Crosses. He led Marines in some of the bloodiest battles of World War II, including Guadalcanal and Peleliu, the names of which forever speak of the Marines’ exploits and sacrifices. In the Korean War, Puller was again assigned as commander of the 1st Marines, which he led to a landing at Inchon on September 15, 1950, earning his Silver Star in the process.

He was given the Distinguished Service Cross from the Army for action from November 29 to December 5 of that same year, and his fifth Navy Cross for action during December 5–10 at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir.

It was during that battle when he made the famous quote: "We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."

The libs immediately started accusing Trump of trying to start a war. As if it wouldn’t be over in about 36 hours.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Saudi Arabia and others in OPEC will more than make up the Oil Flow difference in our now Full Sanctions on Iranian Oil. Iran is being given VERY BAD advice by @JohnKerry
and people who helped him lead the U.S. into the very bad Iran Nuclear Deal. Big violation of Logan Act?

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

John Kerry got caught essentially admitting that funds given ridiculously to Iran were used to fund attacks on the USA. Only a complete fool would have given that 150 Billion Dollars Plus to Iran. They then went on a Middle East Rampage!

“The Iranian “Navy” looks like 15-year old Bayliners.”

Yes, but they are very clearly armed.

The Iranians had better heed.

I hope they do not, actually.
