Apparently, Iran planted mines, which recently exploded, on four foreign oil tankers.
Moreover, it seems that Iran had a proxy do a rocket attack on the US embassy in Baghdad.
Retired General Jack Keane has said that the commercial ships of all our allies–both in Europe and Japan–should be re-flagged; they should carry the US flag, instead of that of their respective countries.
Moreover, they should be escorted by US warships.
And if Iran then fires upon them…well, then appropriate action should be taken.
Reagan did the escort thing in the 80’s. Iran didn’t bite. Iran knows how to make minimal attacks, just below the threshold of getting a response from us. I say that we destroy all their ports where oil tankers load up, and watch their economy crumble. Total air war.
montecrappo will defend the Islamo-Fascist terrorists, he will quote and believe the Communist newspapers, and he will call his own military liars, all because he is a leftwing extremist who will take any opportunity to undermine & attack America, and hate on Trump.
As to your first post: Sure, give it a try. It can’t hurt. I just doubt that it will curb Iran’s terrorist activities.
“Apparently” is the key word in that sentence. I’ve seen the grainy video that’s more like the quality of the 1969 footage of the lunar landing rather than the 2019 technology the best in the world, available to the Pentagon. Not so apparent to me and many others.
Yep, for liberals like montecrackhead1, Trump is automatically guilty with no evidence, and Islamo-Fascist terrorists are automatically innocent despite evidence from our military.
You nailed it.
Translation: You believe and defend terrorists and you don’t believe your own brave military men and women. Typical Democrat.
But Chinese officials have publicly stated that they have no intention of following Washington’s demands to stop importing Iranian oil completely. And Chinese firms have made arrangements to keep Iranian oil flowing after U.S. sanctions come into force. For example, Chinese firms have switched to using Iranian tankers to deliver the oil, to side step sanctions and reduce their own risk.
@pjohns The prime minister of Japan was visiting with Iranian leadership in an effort to help foster US/Iranian dialogue when one of their oil tankers was attacked off the coast of Iran. Sorry, but I’m not buying this one bit. Nor are many others. There’s zero for Iran to gain, and everything for Saudi Arabia, Israel and warmongering neocon freaks like John Bolton to gain.
