Or perhaps they hate the fact that it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of BS. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

 

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W. look smart and articulate. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: 'My God… what… have… I… created?

 

Unappealing, unattractive, idiotic, incompetent, hateful, hurtful, abrasive, rude, blowhard, liar, cheater, thief, infantile, failure, loser, fraud, sexual abuser, incestuous, tax cheat, insurrectionist, un-American, dictator-loving dictator wannabe, out of control, sociopathic, convicted felon, toxic narcissist & brutish A-hole.

 

Everything about the con-man referred to as Trump is unlikeable. He's everything wrong with the human animal, all stuffed into one specimen. 

 

Wanna know how I really feel? And how inaccurate your assessment of this man is and how misplaced your devotion is? 

 

 

 

 

   Try giving him a break for a while .

Have a Trump free week where you completely ignore him and dont read anything by him and dont mention him .

   You need to take steps to break the addiction

LOL. International Law is totally irrelevant unless there's a way of policing it... like China building islands in the South China Sea, just off the coast of the Philippines. No one takes any notice of International Law.

The ICC can give China a ticket.

The United States ranks #1-how about that!

Is that really a surprise ?  Having more CSGs, although, they are spread out kind of thin.  Irrelevant, as USA will never be involved against CH or RU.  Any other country isn't a match, and or, are allies.

With a naval background, you must have heard of mines, surely?

Well, guess the minesweepers in Bahrain will be called out. Humor me and tell me your sea stories of passing through the Strait of Hormuz,

Being helped along now, by the US, UK and Israel.

 

   The I in BRICS stands for India, not Iran .

I doubt whether BRICS members will be supporting Iran in the current war

   What have the BRICS members done so far to show their support for Iran ?

  Nothing ?

TBH wid yer Nick. I reckon Iran can look after itself. But if a nuke is released we could see Pakistan, the Ruskies and even China get involved. However, I don't think the Zionist regime would be so silly. But yer never know!

Ok so i get this.

but how did you make this leap?

 

 

 

You don't think that if the bombing hurts the economy, Americans aren't going to blame Trump's support of Israel? Support for Israel has been on the decline in America and if this turns out badly, that would accelerate the decline.

I have heard of mine sweepers, I can't say i have heard of "a mine sweepers".

 

Be that as it may, they would be operating in a strait 33 km wide, which would be point-blank range for shore to ship missiles and drones.

 If Iran initiates the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, they will lose their Navy.

The IRCG will do the attacks, not the navy.

They will be using the Minehunters against ground mines in the straits as moored mines are not practicable there.

If Iran starts to sink ships their sub will get destroyed. 

Straits of Hormuz are to shallow for Submarines to navigate under water.

If Iran can hit tel Aviv with a missile, I'm pretty sure they could hit an oil tanker, air cover or not. They only need to sink one to scare the others from attempting to get through.

 

 

 

 

The Iranians only need to mine the shipping zones or use a rubber high speed inshore patrol boat to plant mines on a Tankers Hull.

ZZZZZZ its so pathetic watching the script play out of the news......normally i would watch, but its so predicatable and boring, i can't be arsed to check anything

The actions being taken here are defintely coming from a pre written script ........written ages ago......Okay America Do action A, Iran will Respond with Action B, Ok Now American Can Invade with full air power blah blah

Iran’s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, the vital shipping channel through which around 20% of the world’s daily oil flows.

The move, which could block $1 billion in oil shipments per day, is likely to send oil prices soaring.

It will come into effect pending a final decision by Iran’s Supreme Council.

If anything good comes out of President Trump's mistake, it will be the end of the American people's support of Israel.

"If anything good comes out of President Trump's mistake, it will be the end of the American people's support of Israel."

 

I think you've got some things confused here! ie "Trumps mistake " & " it will be the end of the American people's support of Israel." How can you in all conscience right such a terrible thing when Israel is fighting for us all and need our support; all our support.

You seem very jaundiced. If the script was so pre-written then why didn't you predict it last month or even two weeks  ago? Blah blah LOL
