Mq 9 drones aren’t even being produced anymore and are being replaced by something new. This was was decided way before this war started.

Other than him using political persuasion and blackmail to make Americans take a third job to pay for it, it’s Israel’s war. Let them have at it.

We’re on the other side of the planet, and we’re tapped out.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Center has issued two separate advisories following reports of attacks on commercial vessels transiting outbound through the Strait of Hormuz.

Both vessels were reportedly struck by one-way attack drones (UAVs). In both incidents, all crew members are reported safe, and no environmental impact or pollution has been reported.


I guess we are going to let them keep on attacking commercial vessels without repercussions. The IRGC is attacking one everyday it seems over the last two weeks.

The reports say minor damage and no injuries. Did the UAVs stop the ships? Have the ships continue their voyage? Are these ships getting lucky with just receiving minor damage. Hopefully more information will come out.

They usually target the bridge area of a ship so they can do some kind of damage to personnel. I have no idea if ships are taking precautions now and have some kind of cope cage mechanism installed or some kind of barricade, but for the most part, the reports are always of minor injuries for most ships.

The same muslim nations we do business with are the same ones who are propping up Iran. They lie to our faces and then turn around and provide money, weapons, technology, etc to Iran. Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar, Oman and SA are the biggest offenders.

Then you have China stepping up to the plate as well.

The amount of damage done is irrelevant.

What matters is that Iran is still able to demonstrate that they are a threat, regardless of how many times our leadership claims that Iran's military has been "obliterated" or "sunk to the bottom of the ocean."

Insurance companies won't insure the cargo as long a Iran continues to demonstrate that they are a threat.

At this point those are nothing more than empty words, and everyone on both sides know it.

Remember all the other places that he said that we would annex?

Canada
Greenland
Gaza

Did I forget any?

I am at the point that the USA/Iran war will go the same route as the Russia/Ukraine war. It is bad to admit, but the only way this does not occur is the Dimocrats take over the White House and Congress. Trump will never withdraw and Iran will never quit fighting.

The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier has faced significant laundry problems due to a fire in its laundry facilities and persistent issues with its sanitation system, leading to severe disruptions for the crew. These issues have resulted in sailors having to use helicopters to transport laundry to other ships for cleaning.
