But Obama kissed the mullah's butts, gave them billions of dollars and said everything was cool. How dare Trump upset the status quo.
Was wondering how those new littorals made of aluminum would stand up to some fast attack craft.
Probably going to be pretty damned effective. They do crack easy tho.
What we need to do is stop threatening third party sanctions because they dont follow our sanctions. That is illegal as hell. I am totally for withdrawing from the Iranian deal and I want my money back but to threaten NORWAY because THEY dont is BS!!I warned everyone here that Bolton is no damned good. This is the kind of madness that killed your sons— as happened in Iraq. 5000 dead!! 40,000 soldiers wounded ( not including PTSD and suicides) -— FOR NOTHING!! Let me tell you this. Iran is no Iraq— we are talking about 96 million people— 1 million in the army , air force and huge navy. and totally backed by Russia. This is a war that we are creating and you better get ready for. Bolton is a WAR MONGER!!
Get popcorn, fireworks may be on the way.
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Lord, guard and guide the men who fly
Through the great spaces in the sky.
Be with them always in the air,
In darkening storms or sunlight fair;
Oh, hear us when we lift our prayer,
For those in peril in the air!
...
Now go kick some persian jihadi butt, guys!
Bring it, ragheads.
Iran is in the middle of a currency and water crisis right now. Which means they are on the edge of both hyperinflation and famine. They are in no position to start a military conflict with anyone. This belligerence is to make Rouhani look tough, just like their faked missile launches.
0600 Secretary of Defense Mathis to our task force, “Sink every damn military vessel of Iran in the Persian Gulf.”
0615 Task force commander reply, “Our boys will be back on deck by sundown and would you like us to take our Kharg Island also, which most Iranian oil is exported from?”
Translation: "Bit@# Slap me please."
When I was the program manager of OASIS, a mine sweeping project, I read an estimate that Iran had somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000 mines in warehouses near the straits of Hormuz. Given current mine technology vs sweeping and active elimination techniques this could permanently close the straits. The best approach would be to hit those mines before they leave the warehouses. Even ten mines might effectively close the straits as insurance carriers would not underwrite the ships and the companies owning them wouldn’t allow them to sail.
On the other hand, closing off the straits and the mouth of the Red Sea might spur Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to make a deal with Israel to allow a pipeline across their country. Israel has, I’ve read, already offered to do this. The Arab countries, constrained by fifty years of their own propaganda, have thus far refused. But if these countries have to stop the payments to their citizens, which prevent a revolt, then they may relent and come up with some reason they can run their pipeline.
I have maintained that the first use of an Muslim owned nuclear weapon won’t be against Israel, it will be against another Muslim country. They hate and fear each other much more than they hate Israel. Reason being; They know Israel won’t attack unless they threaten them. But fellow Muslims may attack at any moment and for a made-up reason.
