    As I already explained a mine above the waterline would make a very small hole compared to underwater.

    Slow down, stop rushing to conclusions.
    it would make it not seaworthy and unable to cross any large bodies of water.. these were tankers

    It looks to most people that Trump wants to start a War with Iran.
    It's called maximum pressure.
    But you are correct in that it is everything short of war -it's economic warfare
    Weaken Iran as a punishment for being a rouge nation, and maybe weaken the regime internally

    do you want to do about it? Go ahead and parse and highlight what we already know he's guilty of ( current newz)

    I prefer to look at his policies and his moves, and see if he is on a good trajectory ( Path)

    I'm highly suspicious that Trump is going to end up using Americans to fight a War that belongs to Israel and Saudi Arabia.
    Let the shithole countries fight each other. Let them slaughter each other, we can always come in at the end and pick up the pieces.

    Iran isn't a ' rogue ' nation. Iran is in compliance with international law. Izrael is a rogue nation.
    In supporting a rogue nation the US is compromising its UN Charter pledges.

    That's it exactly.
    Bear in mind that both Russia and China have condemned US aggression in the Gulf. Izrael and Saudi Arabia LOST the war in Syria. This does not bode well for any planned attack on Iran .
    Turkish opposition to US aggression is also a factor to consider- and the Iraqis do not want another conflict on their borders- particularly Izraelis and their US proxies attacking more Muslims.

    Fuck Izrael. Let Izrael's pseudo-Jews fight their own territorial battles. Cowardly civilian-killing bastards.

    After reading this thread, it is quite apparent not many understand mines, limpet mines, explosives or how they are attached when neccesary. A little knowledge is always a dangerous thing. Just saying.

    They're not above criticism, maggot. Nobody is.
    I repeat, however- Iran is not in breach of international law. Izrael, on the other hand, is a fucking pariah.

    Your own military morons will be gearing up right now to go help Uncle Slam fight Izrael's war, eh maggot. No Brexit deals for you if you don't get your yarmulkes on. Haw, haw..........haw.
