This will be interesting to see play itself out.

How many times has Trump took military action with Iran already and how many times has it triggered a war? None.

I didn't say that it would trigger a war, just that it would be interesting to see it play out. The harassment of ships has been going on a long time, other leaders have restricted the Navy from sinking them.

I am waiting to see if Iran calls his threat and we find out if it's a bluff or not. I don't think he's bluffing so we will find out. Iran very well may just tell their ships to stop messing with the US Navy.

If the Iranians keep up this nonsense during this real global crisis, then apply rule .303.. or in modern parlance rule 556.

I tend to agree with this sentiment, if US ships harassed others the way the Iranians harass the US Navy there would be a shit storm. As long as they are in international waters or invited into someone else's waters ships shouldn't be harassed.

We'll see what course of action Iran takes, it may be politically beneficial for Trump to have something to divert everyone's attention from covid.

I'm no supporter of the Islamic Republic of Iran, but what the fuck are US ships doing in the Persian gulf thousands of miles away from home?

Iran has all the right to confront them.

Normally, the matter could be resolved in a more friendly matter but this is not the time. Now is the time to get the point across as clearly as possible. To be delivered in a language they'd understand. To cause a war while their own population is dying in such great numbers would be criminal folly from their side and if their own population doesn't replace them for such an error - then maybe it should be done for them when the opportunity is there.

Not sure why you're cozy with Trump knowing that he's Sheldon Adelson's personal Zionist whore for Israel and so on.

Lol. Don't worry, he'll wage the war once he gets reelected again.
