Iran plans to deploy warships off US coast

[voyager9 3,441]

There's a reason it is called International Waters. The US can't really squawk about an Iranian boat off our coast in international waters since we do the same thing over there. In fact, it may be a great opportunity if we accepted them with our arms open.. a few port calls could do wonders for interacting with the Iranian crew (vs their wackjob government).

 

Either way, I'm sure they won't be alone..

Who cares! Our drones could blast them out of the water without them even knowing!

I agree, it's basically BS talk by a leader who knows what the fatal outcome would be if a direct military confrontation were to occur with US forces at the present time. Talk is cheap and he knows he can say things like this and get away with it without having to back it up. Seems as if the leaders of smaller "trouble making" countries do this just to incite/inspire their people. That being said, IF that wacko obtains nuclear weapons, I believe he would be stupid enough to make the first move.

I rather like the way you think. How better to further detante but to show some Iranians sailors just how welcoming a free society can be. A bus man's holiday if you will... Some good restaurants,cocktails, perhaps a show or two,a foray to a gentleman's club and some encounters with our perhaps less than virginal performers replete with glitter.

subs in the gulf and now these knuckle heads off the gulf coast, could it be they are testing us to see what we will do and if nothing they get to scout. Can their be a multi strike from several countries in the making.. don't the rusky's support iran?

 

won't they have to pass thru the bermuda triangle to get there, just saying.

We should reactivate the USS New Jersey and have her follow the Iranian ship keeping a full broadside pointed at it.

Too late. It's already been recruited for the CCPD-Metro division.

Well they better hurry up and do it, before it gets stolen by the locals and cut up and sold for scrap.

Yea with that little dingy, i'm really scared. Would just mean more flying for my guard base.

Time to get the Fat Man ready...

I could not agree more. There isnt a country in the world that doesnt understand "blown the hell up!"

I work deepwater ROV's, basically remote controlled submarines. I guess I will have some cool shipwrecks on the bottom to see.

Meh, it's political posturing. If Obama is re-elected, expect more of it. If the other guy is elected, expect them to tuck tail and run and hide until they figure out whether he's a stuffed shirt full of hot air or whether he's a cowboy.
