rofl. that was the funniest thing i read all day! People are saying “oh we dealt with Russia an they were bad” but they ALREADY had the bomb(s).
There is not ONE good reason to deal with Iran.
Until and unless they are on their knees from sanctions.
Or until we need to effectively incapacitate their capacity to build a weapon.

Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said Wednesday the destroyer is "keeping an eye on things," and in close enough proximity to the seized ship that they "will be able to respond if a response is required. How close do they need to be in order to mail a sternly worded letter - which is about all they will be allowed to do?...
