So one of the ships was Japanese owned the othe other was heading to Japan.

Did they follow the boat back to where it came from?

The Japanese captain said it was something from the air that hit his ship. He said if ship had been hit by mines it would be below the water line.

If you look at the video it has 3x as many down votes as up votes, meaning most people think CNN is full of shiit.

This happened while Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe was meeting with Iranian president Hassan Rouhani to negotiate a de-escalation, with Trump's blessings. Iran also released a prisoner accused of spying for U.S. as a message of good faith.

By the comments it seems most people aren't buying this bullshyt.

I get the feeling they gone disable comments if that ratio stays the same or worse.

Pompeo is telling Congress that Don Cheeto can attack Iran based on authorization, which is updated every year, to deal with Afghanistan and Iraq.

Let me rephrase that...Pompeo is telling Congress authorization for wear that Congress updates every year, specifically for Afghanistan and Iraq....is applicable for Don Cheeto to apply to Iran.

War time presidents typically get reelected, if that isn't the primary motivation it's money. Who knows what the Saudis are offering

I said it on here two years ago but I have some friends in the defense industry and back then they both said their companies were ramping up for “something” and they hadn’t seen that level of production since 2001-4. They work for two diff companies and don’t know each other and still both said end of 2019, start of 2020 is when it’s going down. Makes perfect sense with the wartime President route esp for an unlikable person like trump.

@ZoeGod is convinced there will be a war. I still doubt there will be a war, Bolton, Pompeo etc are examples of extreme stupidity but those crazy neocons do not have full control yet, there will be a lot of internal opposition, and so many analysts from Pentagon, CIA, NSA are drowning them in intelligence showing what war with Iran would be like. The war gamed scenarios are a disaster not because the US would lose in a conventional fashion but it is the asymmetrical nature of it.

First you must realize that Iran has been preparing for this since 1979. The entire armed forces are designed to fight the US.

There will not be any limited attack on Iran, if a single bomb lands on Iranian soil they will launch everything, leading to full scale war.

Within the first 24 hours Iran will destroy the oil fields in Saudi and use with its latest generation missiles that are totally immune to US patriot missiles. Add in the integration of S300 which has been modified to be as good as the S400 (Iran hasn’t requested S400 from Russia yet) and you have a situation where an Iran attack won't be stopped easily.

US bases in the Gulf will also be hit killing thousands within the first days.

You won't be seeing a carrier group sunk because although the politicians are morons, the US Navy knows that it's carriers are obsolete and only useful for bullying third world countries that can't fight back.

Any carrier group will be outside the Gulf in the Indian Ocean near Oman.

A carrier group inside the Gulf will be sunk within hours of the start of the war. The US navy has absolutely no defense at all, it's a sitting duck.

Within the first week of a war, oil production from Saudi and UAE (at least 15 million barrels per day) will be lost and no one can make up this. This will be leading to worldwide economic meltdown.
US dollar dies as the world reserve currency, so does world trade.

Iran is not Saddam Hussein. The first Gulf War was a unique event due to monumental stupidity.

The lessons learnt from Iraq and Yugoslavia and if you go back to WW2 is that if you can't hurt the armed forces, you target civilians and bomb them straight to the Stone age.

When NATO bombed Serbia, it was discovered that after one of the largest bombing campaign in history they hit less than 10 % of targets.
They took out their frustration on civilians by bombing schools , hospitals, factories, water and sewage treatment plants and bridges.

This is what convinced the Serbs to surrender.

Iran's known the modus operandum. They will not wait to get bombed back into the Stone age like Iraq, they will make sure they take out the world economy with them.

Trump/Bolton: "It was the newly formed country. . . Iran-o-Russia! This new state, is headed by a one Cobra Commander in Iran and a fella named Destro in Russia. . . Fortunately, we just nuked both places. No, I won't be taking questions."


Imagine thinking Trump would do anything to his bae Putin's country:mjlol:

If Trump starts a war with Iran he won’t get re-elected. Oil would be $500 dollars a barrel and the first month of fighting you are looking at 10k US casualties with the Mideast in total chaos.

That many casualties would be a fukkin catastrophe. They have to know a war would be the worst decision we've ever made.
