How has no one noticed this?

The arrival this week to Rio de Janeiro of two Iranian warships that Brazil's government authorized to dock has prompted rebukes both from Israel and the U.S.

yea - fortunately that we got rid of that bad ol' Bolsonaro.
I hear he was a white supremacist or anti-groomer or bad tweeter, so it's all good.

They look like converted oil tankers.

If they were any real threat they would be rutterless by now...literally.

Don't worry, guys, we're training Ukrainian pilots here in the US.

The press secretary was asked about this.

Her answer was as usual very informative and reassuring

They look like platforms for things that could cause serious problems for us...

All it takes is one... I remember folks saying they didn't have the capability to get anything close to our mainland not too long ago...

Why are they worried? Unless it’s an Iranian PT boat that will make our sailors cry and behave like little bitches they are zero threat.

At best those ships can carry maybe 10 helos. No air defense capabilities that we know of. If it got aggressive it would be sunk by most Western navies including Brazil's. One screw on the back.

Is it bad that I'm partly impressed that iran has naval vessels that made it across the Atlantic?

But also...we probably funded those ships via pallets of cash.

The Iranian ships are a definite concern but what the CCP has been doing in Central and South America the past 10 years is alarming.

It's concerning because our administration supports the regime change in Brazil which is now friendlier territory for our enemies.

Let me guess...it was as good as her response about knowing about the ATL city cop riots...."¿Como? ¿Que paso?"

Someone tell me why I should be concerned about Iranian ships tying up to a dock in Brazil.

What are you wanting him to say? Why would any POTUS comment on it?

Can someone articulate why we should care about this story?
