These creeps are fake FReepers. Should have been booted off of here a long time ago. Can’t for the life of me understand why they haven’t been.
I tried to lock the bot up by making it get into a circular logic Loop last night, but they must have reset it. Lol.
we saw from the video of Iranians removing a limpet mine from one of the ships.“
I once , on July 5, saw and collected some unexplored fireworks from my neighbors lawn. I guess that means I put them there
That’s great “logic” to justify the US starting yet another war in the Middle East
I’m with you: Let’s keep forgetting about our own border and keep meddling in the Middle East instead
Who took the “official” film of the Iranians from the air in B&W?
All I know is “they” are pushing this thing.
The narrative that the media is pushing - that Iran attacked a ship - reminds me of their narrative of the Jussie Smollett case, ie, whote MAGA dudes attacked a gay black man
The media loves to push false flags at us
Was Jefferson Ignoring the Borders when he hit the Barbary Pirates?
Like it or not, our influence is wide.
I think it stinks.
Our responses to Iranian aggression have been reasonable, measured and proportional.
So in your feeble logic securing our interests in the Mideast with our blue-water nuclear-equipped Navy means we are fighting a “two-front war” because of ... Mexicans!
Forget the tariffs, deploy our carriers to the Mexican border!
Maybe you can help elect Biden so we can reinstate Obama’s “peace agreement” with Iran!
If it were in color would you find it more credible?
Not really.
Does it matter who took it? Do you think it’s fake?
Remember when Glomar Explorer raised K129?
They filmed the burials at sea in color and said “Ivan, we have your boys”
Your reply: “Yes.”
This is the same level of intellectual reasoning capable of concluding Iranian-sponsored Hezbollah is a “charity group”.
Limpet mines are magnetic so it is entirely feasible that what the sailors saw was indeed mines being launched by Iranian watercraft and attaching to the hull of their ship......
I know the story, but it didn’t answer my queries to you.
Why hit above the waterline?
Smells like bullsmoke
Iranian boat fired missile at US drone prior to tanker attack, US official says
https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/14/politics/us-drone-tracked-iranian-boats/index.html
houthis have been tossing around missiles for years, not that effective, but it gets press.
There's another thread where a participant explained why that was the perfect spot to place the mine.........Below the waterline would have allowed the influx of the water to extinguish any fire it caused.
Yeah fuel tanks and all, not sure if that makes sense. never sailed a tanker.
Damage was minimal, but someone is pushing the incident.
