No, not the soccer match.

Actual warfare.

One of our drones got shot down by Iranian Red Guard, and Trump now has to do something to save face.

How long before the posturing ends and they start to whip it out?

Also, looks like our allies will not support us on any military ventures, so its just us.

Why does the US have to be the world police.
Bomb the fuck out of Iran. Stay the fuck out of all other world conflicts.
We need an iron curtain around our borders. MAGA. Made in the USA.
Write your congressman today.

Why does Trump want the US to be the world police?
So he can stick his dick in any country he wants, get sucked dry and them lay him for the privilege.

Trump knows nothing about combat and carnage, but it looks like he is going to learn.

The other western countries haven't supported the US CAUSE THEY DON'T TRUST THE US!!!!

All you Tramp supporters pay close attention to how far our "allies" stay away from us. Why? duhhh, because Tramp has driven them away and no one trusts him (and by extension doesn't trust the US now). This is the beginning of the US reaping what Tramp has sown.

“Our Allies dont support us “ lol I thought Tramp made America So Great world is respecting us like trump said “HUGELY “ lol
When you call your Allies enemy what you get ? Even Trump’s Friend Russia is saying “No shit I am not going there”
Even trump showed the videos of guys planting mines but I guess world also remember Colin Powell. Showing Mobil chemical Labs to United nation for Iraq war on power point we know where that went

Btw as we know how Mossad works they might be Mossad agents planting mines to start another war

Far too many of our 'allies' are just pussies.....Trump finally got many of them to pay more of their NATO share. They love that we fight their battles for them. Fucking French would all be speaking German if we hadn't bailed their asses out.....

How does a mine get attached above a ship's waterline? If it was put on the hull, wouldn't someone have noticed/heard a craft approaching the ship?

When in the water, the ship can pitch, roll or yaw 10-15 feet or more depending upon the surge of the seas and weather conditions.....

So something can stick almost anywhere on the bottom half of the vessel.

Just fuck em a little bit, for our drone. The limpet mines were on other countries ships. Patrol, observe & report Iranian shit to the proper parties.

The oil from the straight is not our lifeline as much as some other countries. Some years ago, yes. Today, not as much.

Same message: Pay for your own shit.

A couple smaller escort gunboats per tanker will counter the limpet miners. It's a sneak attack game. If you don't actually capture an Iranian with video, they'll just deny and the rest of the world will pussy out.

Sending carrier fleets & 52's is nuts.

It's just a drone. US$2M tops.

Our Presidents' best play (IMO) is to do nothing.
Piss off the desert rats.
Position an Aegis cruiser.
Send in some Frogs for some S&D.
Push the LoN to act.

SLCM is my favorite option. X5. US$10M tops.

Or send some B1's inland.
52's are too high/big/slow for the defenses they have.
This needs to be a visual spanking, not a technical one.

Talked down? I doubt it. Great non move by Trump.


The Times reported:

President Trump approved military strikes against Iran in retaliation for downing an American surveillance drone, but pulled back from launching them on Thursday night after a day of escalating tensions.

The operation was underway in its early stages when it was called off, a senior administration official said. Planes were in the air and ships were in position, but no missiles had been fired when word came to stand down, the official said.

It was not clear whether Mr. Trump simply changed his mind on the strikes or whether the administration altered course because of logistics or strategy. It was also not clear whether the attacks might still go forward.

The Times added a curious detail: “No government officials asked The New York Times to withhold the article.”

Talked down. As in Putin.

Putin called a Russian TV show to “speak his mind” about current Russian interests and warn US about Iran, and the message was deliivered to Trump, as the green lighted attack was stopped minutes later.

Do any of you even pay attention? Trump was given a plan to strike key locations in Iran. Trump asked how many would die and he was told 150. Trump then orders no strike and says he doesn't wanna slaughter people over a drone and instead increases some sanctions.

What a war monger!! I'm amazed how stupid some of you are.

I am no lover of Don the Con, and have not been since the 1980s, but he got this one right. - So far, at least.

The point of retaliation is to give a proportional response, to show you will not be pushed around without consequences.

At the same time, you are not raising the stakes higher and higher until you are actually in a serious war neither side wanted, but feels they were pushed into.

The Iranians are being very careful with their actions. Drone not manned aircraft. When attacking ships, it is ally ships not ours.

The economic sanctions are just killing them and they are hoping to get our allies to cave. We have some weak ass countries who say they are allies, but are unwilling to feel a little discomfort. Shut off sales of all Iranian oil and that country is toast in 6 months.

I would rather see a UN investigation before action. I don't believe trumpy to tell the truth even if the drone was in Iran air space. When have we ever admitted venturing over other countries air space(illegaly)? Isn't that the idea of a drone, especially as high as it was.
