Agree. Thought I had stumbled into a blog for hyperactive 7 year olds. Pathetic.

Iran has to many Salami's by the look of it????

[seajae]

as usual we get those that simply want to bitch about politics and not the post itself. Iranians are trying to big note themselves when they really need to go and hide, if they ever fired on a US ship they would be destroyed very quickly. Their little games they play running their pleasure crafts they call their navy attack boats in close to the US ships will seriously bite them on their bums if they keep doing it, they are not dealing with obama now who simply let them do as they please, they will have their ar*es handed to them on a platter if they try anything now. These idiots think they are way more than they actually are, their armed forces are a total joke at best

Well, we'll see how that goes.

Iran needs to be careful the Potus is looking to deflect the Covid issue and for sure the sinking of a few Iran boats would make the front pages for a few days

“I have ordered our naval forces to destroy any American terrorist force in the Persian Gulf that threatens security of Iran’s military or non-military ships,” Hossein Salami said.

“Security of the Persian Gulf is part of Iran’s strategic priorities.”

Neville Chamberlain had similar thoughts to yourself.

OMG. There is simply no way on God's Earth that scenario can be compared with skirmishes in the Gulf (where there are no international waters).

remember USS LIBERTY, never underestimate your enemy

The USS Liberty was a WW2-era cargo ship fitted for intelligence gathering and very lightly armed. The Israelis attacked first with war planes then torpedo boats, but the Liberty still made it to port. That was over 50 years ago, I am guessing that situation does not apply to the Gulf Area now.

It would. It would also save the Russian and Saudi economies horrible pain. China though is thrilled with free oil as the world's biggest importer. 

 

The US goes both ways, it's the largest producer but not a net exporter. As the world's second largest manufacturer the US also benefits from cheap oil.  The primary goal of fracking is to keep global prices low. Benefits everyone except major oil exporters.

Well said and completely agrees, I just hope they will not do, as any human life lost is bad and also avoid another long oil war, as US is just try to escalate matters to go into full war, only matter that will safe trump from losing elections.

Nope, there are some people that just need killing and I can name a few in Iran.

[Mansell]

Talk is cheap. At best they could launch some cruise missiles at the warships. But the retaliation could literally wipe out all their military assets, and it might be a good idea to take out the iyatolla cockamamie while they are at it. The Iranian people would be glad to get rid of their irrational anti woman leader.....Gee, he sounds like somebody else we know. Yuck yuck yuck

Just bluster. He must known how unhinged Trump is and how much of a bad idea it'd be.

Who are the bullies in this instance?

I believe that Trump will create an international incident with Iran in the Gulf soon as a distraction from his appalling failing management of the pandemic.

I imagine covid put paid to that idea.....at least for the time being. They are both no different to immature schoolboy bullies.

America is far away. Why do they even have ships in the Persian Gulf?

 

I wonder what would happen if Iranian war ships showed up in the Gulf of Mexico.

All hail The Great Salami.

I agree. But what with some surgical actions with drones. The Iran folks need no Ayatollahs and need no revolutionary guards. Calculation might include some tolerable collateral damage.
