A large group of Iranian military fast attack boats on Monday harassed six United States Navy ships escorting a guided missile submarine into the Strait of Hormuz, the Pentagon said.
“Earlier today a large group of Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, also known as the IRGCN, fast boats conducted unsafe and unprofessional maneuvers and failed to exercise due regard for the safety of U.S. forces as required under international law while operating in close proximity to U.S. Naval vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz,” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said.
He said the Navy ships that were escorting the USS Georgia were exercising the right of transit passage

Well, a few months ago, the Iranian Navy would be shopping for replacements for those ships.
Now, Biden's Navy would be sending Diversity officers to apologize.

The world knows the mentally unfit old codger in the White House is incapable of defending the interests of this country around the world, not that he would want to anyway. The bad guys will eat his lunch. Americans will suffer all because the lawless democrat party stole the election. Every bad thing that happens and there will be many will ultimately be caused by the travesty of a stolen election with no real objection from the Republican Party. Our political class failed us on all fronts. I expected it from the democrats, but the Republicans weak response was such a disappointment. Those fools are as guilty as the thieves you stole our right to a free and fair election. There are going to be grave consequences to this betrayal. Situations like this one with Iran is just the beginning. The spit-shined political class in their $5k silk suits disgust me. For want of integrity this country is being put into peril every single day.

How come the Iranians never did that when President Trump was in the White House?

Was running up the channels on the treadmill at the gym last night. Stopped on CNN showing a freighter seized in the Gulf, full of Chinese guns and rockets. Left me wondering where the arms were going, and what motivated CNN to show Chinese arms heading to terrorist states. Doesn't fit with their narrative.

We had better get used to this. And worse.
Maybe the mullahs will take some American sailors hostage again.
It only took 5 months for the stuff to hit the fan.
Thanks a hell of a lot to the democrat voter.

The last time we had a dem president we had US sailors held by Iran weeping on camera.
This is what happens when there is no Commander in Chief of the great United States of America.

He will put Kamala in charge and ask her to hit them with her purse. I think the Iranians are testing the waters for a bigger move. Just making sure that the Appeasement Policy has been fully implemented before sparking the next oil shortage.

Send them more pallets of our Deutschmark dollars, Joe, to buy some more peace it's what Obama did. A stern letter scribbled on a gum wrapper or a VP flight there to smooth things over. On a pleasant thought, what would President Donald Trump have done?

The Navy will be told to retaliate by playing "Imagine" on loudspeakers pointing toward the Iranian boats. That will cause them to become our friends

Weakness invites aggression.
The real problem is that after repeated stunts like this, one day it won't be a stunt and several ships will be damaged or sunk.
At 300 yards, they shouldn't have been firing warning shots. At 300 yards, they should be shooting to sink.

Our enemies are testing us, and we are failing. If it hurts the United States or makes us look bad or weak, our 'leaders' are all for it. That is our governing policy in the age of Obama (and Biden).

Why, oh why, would a reasonable, rational person give money and cut deals with anyone who is HARASSING our military? Why, oh why, would a reasonable, rational person think that cutting a NUCLEAR deal with someone who is HARASSING our military? I am not asking about normal Iranian citizens here. I am asking about their terrorist government -- which is also the sort of government who would execute gays, transgendered persons, lesbians, Christians, and anyone else who doesn't fit their mold.
I can only guess. There is something in the deal for those on "our side" cutting it. Those on "our side" are more concerned about what they're going to get out of it personally than they are about human rights. Those on "our side" think appeasement of terrorists works to bring peace. Those on "our side" really aren't reasonable, rational people. Some or all of the above? I just don't get it.
I lived through the Iranian hostage crisis -- for over 400 days -- 444 days to be more exact. I was a child then. I heard Walter Cronkite speak what day of the crisis we were on. I remember when the very thought of having to face Ronald Reagan as an American president scared those Iranians into releasing the hostages. Jimmy Carter couldn't get helicopters off the ground. And what we have now as president makes Carter look competent.

I'm sure there are many nice Iranians, even some who love America, but I don't understand why much of Iran isn't not a large smoking hole in the ground by now. Sooner or later I believe Israel will be forced to do exactly that. Meanwhile, what are our military going to do about it, hit them with their purses?
