Exactly - such boats on the surface in that tight area makes me think others could be...in position.
That’s how I would play it, anyways.
Bad Orange Man threatening Bi-Dung’s mostly peaceful buddies.
Biden has a way to deal with them. If they don’t behave he’ll send them so much money they wont know what to do with it. It will also be a tripping hazard. His way of showing them that we mean business.
You sound like someone with a paper a%%hole who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Open the hole and spin Joe in.
Just watched a VERY recent video of Amir on what’s happening there. It’s too new to be on YouTube yet but it’s on Facebook.
The Donald does not believe in starting new wars . . . only finishing them.
Expect a great big BOOM with temps to exceed 5000 degrees Fahrenheit.
I sure hope that Gov. Gump and any other republican’t from Georgia are in command. /s
Interesting
All of this is rooted in jimmy Carter’s shah problem. Other people may have added some wood to the gire. But Carter was the match and the gasoline. He is responsible fror every drop of American citens blood and money wasted in the me. /rant.
And we need him to do a lot of rock and rolling this last (I certainly pray it isn’t) month
Having been here in NYC for 9/11 and having watched the four or five states just STOP counting votes...
I can honestly say I will never forget either.
I lost a few fireman friends on 9/11 and with no disrespect to them AT ALL, I must say that they are equally tragic (unless Trump holds the Presidency).
9/11 was a staggering horror.
How many horrors would we see under biden and the people he is picking?
When screwing around poking the bull, you should always wear a broad spectrum sun screen. Incase a really warm front rolls in from the sea. :)
I can only pray that one of his final acts will be to vaporize the mullahs and maybe Rocket Man. He will then leave Biden in a better position than Obama left him.
Sink the entire Iranian navy. That will send a message. Hit them down to the last canoe.
The American and Israeli subs popping up in the middle of the straight of Hormuz the other day should have been enough for Iran to cry uncle but it seems they have a death wish
US Navy Releases Rare Video Of Nuclear Sub Patrolling Near Iran
We described earlier that the nuclear submarine USS Georgia and a fleet of accompanying warships is now patrolling the Strait of Hormuz since it reached the vital waterway days ago amid soaring tensions with Iran, also now less than two weeks away from the one year anniversary of the assassinaition of IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani.
It's clearly a major show of force to Iran, which previously vowed to retaliate both for Soleimani's killing but also for the more recent death of top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, which leaders in Tehran have blamed on Israel and the US.
The US Navy after earlier making the announcement of the deployed location of the USS Georgia - something rare in its own right - followed up by releasing the below video of its maneuvers, also to regional and foreign media:
Here's a brief review of its capabilities:
The Tomahawk cruise missiles contained by the USS Georgia - of which there can be up to 154 - can reach approximately 1,000 miles in any direction when launched, creating a wide target range for the submarine.
The ship can also hold up to 66 members of the Special Operations Forces.
The Georgia can be used to conduct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance along the Iranian coastline as well as through the entire Persian Gulf while remaining shielded from adversaries.
Video footage released by the US Navy shows the submarine accompanied by two guided missile cruisers en route to the Persian Gulf after leaving the 5th Fleet base in Bahrain.
With just weeks to go in the Trump presidency, fears still linger of a last-minute conflict with Iran.
While arguably the nuclear sub presence is part of a strong deterrence strategy, it's also possible the administration could be planning a provocation along with close US ally Israel.
The current Iraqi Prime Minister al Khidimi is opposed to Iran and is seeking energy independence from it, among other things, to reduce its influence.
Saw that too.
