This is going to cost billions in dollars in insurance payouts once Iran hit three tankers.


Iran's entire strategy is to make this war as painful as possible for the US. If American taxpayers are on the hook for massive insurance losses that only makes the tankers bigger targets.


Sounds like what the Houthis tried in Yemen.

They didn't just try the Houthis has succeed for three years in closing up the Red Sea for transportation of cargo ships. Now with both the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz closures, it is going to be a mess. That is why Trump is promising our grandchildren, maybe great-grandchildren financial futures away by promising to insure these cargo ships.

Well we really put a hurting on the Houthis! They will never be able to rebuild those mud huts or buy more 2003 Toyota Tacomas we blow up with missiles at cost 7-10 million each.

How does that even work with the navy escorts? Are they able to defend against a drone strike?


US navy ships will intercept Iranian missiles by placing themselves in the way.


Just put Phalanx CIWS everywhere.


With no rules of engagement they will just light up oil tankers.

Just need to take care of Turkey, Yemen and Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and then Israel will be satisfied. Hopefully, Israel can then accept a "Greater Israel" rather than the "Greatest Israel"

Pakistan has as many nukes as Israel, so that's not happening. I don't think Israel defeats Turkey either, NATO kicks in and it is definitely a WW because it becomes USA and Israel against everybody else. Trump will have to choose between his financial benefactors in Saudi Arabia and his extortionist in Israel. Yemen is SOL.

How embarrassing.

I thought IRGC was completely eliminated? Someone is lying.

We now need to hurt one of our allies, South Korea, and take the radar and missile defense system used to prevent a North Korean missile there and take that to the Me not to protect American citizens and troops but to protect Israel because their iron dome is flopping



Wait, what??
All of our military bases in the region are destroyed?


Yes

No, they are not.

That’s insane. Congress needs to tell him no. A clear unambiguous no. Taxpayers cannot cover political risk in the Gulf ever. And definitely not in the middle of a hot war.
Exactly. My homeowner's policy does not cover acts of war damage.

Great idea! I’m sure there are plenty of pro-US democracy-minded militias running around the Middle East. Certainly no chance we’d end up with the next ISIS in charge.


The US is really desperate.trump is dragging us down. Apparently trump called Iraqis and asked them to fight Iran for him. The shamelessness would be hilarious if it wasnt tragic

Really. LOL. What did they say. Trump doesn't know that when Bush invaded Iraq in 2003 and took out Saddam, that puppet was gone.
