How incompetent has the Navy become? No warship anywhere nearby. 200 miles in a riverboat across open water to a party port. The second boat didn’t have a line and take the other into tow?
And they simply went out of comms with no radio call about imminent contact/capture?
Embarrassing. Can anyone imagine sailing up to 2 WWII PT boats and telling them to surrender? Embarrassing.
Well, they might have been spying. I have no idea and am not saying they were. But the story is fishy.
I don’t think that is the way it happened. Jerusalem Post is reporting that they seized the boats as a lesson to our troublemakers in congress.
No coincidence that the deal is supposed to happen in what? Five days or so?
Also some twitter folk are saying they don’t believe this story and they have the experience to say it.
