There should have been contingency plans in place, which could have been implemented within hours of the attack on our people.

The fact that he is talking about this is dumb.

Now we look limp wristed and they will do it again.


We should have gone full Comanche after first attempted attack on one of our bases or ships.

Ditto for friendly flagged tankers - Primary mission of our Navy is keeping sea lanes open and safe.

Yet another case of this administrations dereliction of duty.


Right now the score is Iran 5 USA 0.

One thing these attacks have made me wonder—do we not have any anti-air systems at these bases?

The whole ordeal is frankly embarrassing for whatever air defense tech/equipment we do have over there.

we do, but obviously there are training/readiness and ROE issues.

Which is embarrassing. Especially if there’s a patriot battery at any of the places that have been hit.

It all supports the notion that our air defense capabilities are vastly overstated. The Navy has already admitted that it can’t protect the carriers from missile or drone swarms.

His handlers have decided how to respond to Iran. Mush Brain has not decided anything in years

CWIS can if it's turned on and active - unlike when the Stark incident which cost 37 American lives. Of course it depends on just how big the swarm is. The time for playing pussyfoots has long since past.

They will get bolder and go for a bigger prize.

The Phalanx CIWS has enough ammo to fire for like 15 seconds, right? That isn’t going to cut it if there’s more than a couple hypersonic missiles headed in, or a dozen conventional projectiles. And the range is such that missiles will damage the ship anyway via fragmentation, even if the CIWS can track them.

So now we’re just relying on the Aegis ships, who have limited amounts of VLS cells and aren’t effective as much as close range.

Well one hypersonic would be a major problem from what I understand

We are also so afraid of a blue on blue kill it may hamper us

Yep. Apparently the new block Burkes are better fitted to handle them, and they’re going to put hypersonic and laser point defense on the zumwalts—but no doubt that our current Navy is designed to fight yesterday’s war

We’ll blow up some goat frickers in a few tents then send Iran another billion dollars.
