I'd like to see us completely disentangled from that part of the world but it matters little to the men on that boat. If we're going to ask our Navy to patrol those waters then we should have their backs when things go south. If not, get them all the way the frick out of there because what are we even doing at that point?

We need to sink the boats and not kill the passengers. Throw them a life raft and some hummus. Then they will rebel against their leaders and become a thriving mecca again. They can be our ally and we can eliminate the evil Saudis and evil syrians and win the middle east.

You wouldn't think that that US Navy would need a separate specific order from the Preident to take action against hostile appearing foeign vessels approaching their ships after that incident.

No need to Google. I asked a squirrel who informed me that it is, indeed, right off their coast. Closest US territory is Guam. That squirrel knew his shite.

Yes they would. But it’s ok. Trump is basically saying duck you to Iran. Good for him. Our past pres didnt have those skills.

Non-state actors do things that Iran would never do, because we know right where to find them.
