    For a false flag operation like this one, placement is unimportant.
    The retards have their red meat and are seeing blood in their eyes.
    If the attack was Real the mines would be underwater where the effects would have been more severe.

    Again, we are going to bomb a sovereign nation back to the Stone age.
    It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

    That is completely accurate. It is the weight of the water above the hole that fills the vessel. It would be damn near impossible though to place a limpet mine underwater on a moving vessel by a diver anyway. Those are normally placed on a vessel when in port or at anchor.

    Both ships had been in port 2 days previous. Mines have timers.

    They were. They do. Again, I was just referencing misconceptions about limpet mines on the thread. To me politically on this, it will be interesting to see if the UN steps up first and confirms the manufacture of those mines.

    U.S. says mines used in tanker attacks bear "striking resemblance" to Iran's
    The Houthis make naval mines which include Iranian components. Those components are widely available. There is NO WAY that there could ever be evidence against Iran based upon mine fragments.


    Yemen Houthis mass-produced mines and IEDs using Iranian components, CAR report finds

    A new report by Conflict Armament Research has found that Yemen’s Houthi rebels have standardized and mass-produced improvised explosive devices with components, some of which originate in Iran.

    Evidence collected by the research organization suggests that the use of landmines and IEDs is widespread and has increased as Houthi forces retreat from coalition advances, and that Houthi forces used significant quantities of improvised mines, supplemented by a much smaller number of conventionally manufactured mines that likely originate from Yemeni army stockpiles.

    It also documents an improvised naval mine and a MANPADS gripstock.

    The Navy has video of them removing their own unexploded bombs to conceal the evidence. How would they know that the bombs were there if they didn’t put them there?

    You will believe the state sponsors of terrorism, Iran, not the US Navy, as all America haters do,

    Fuck Izrael. Let Izrael's pseudo-Jews fight their own territorial battles. Cowardly civilian-killing bastards.
    I agree that the Saudis are the Losers in both Iraq and Syria. And that the Saudis aren't doing too well with Yemen, that has no Air Force or Navy. The Saudis only hope is to use America's Military to fight their fight for them. Hopefully, Americans won't be overjoyed at the prospect of supporting the Killer of Khashoggi, the Reporter for the Washington Post.

    It's up to the US media to tell Americans the truth. Let me know if you see any.

    I think most Americans know the truth, or at least those not glued to Fox News. It wasn't Iranians that knocked 2 Buildings down on 9/11 and killed 3,000 people. (about the same number that died at Pearl Harbor)

    right before we went into Iraq and bombed them with "shock and Awe" around 70 percent of Americans thought Sadam was involved with 911



    because the republican party wanted people to think that

    obviously Iran at work.

    The real question is what do we do about it without getting into a war.
    The only thing I can see is more "maximum pressure"...but with all that armature there..it's dicey.

    On the other hand Iran cannot be allowed to harass and scuttle free shipping.

    The UN would be helpful here,
    but since we have 100% alienated Russia no way will they allow anything without their veto
    I have to see evidence from reputable independent investigations (aka, not Trump, and not his administration) which supports your claim that Iran is purposefully "harassing and scuttling free shipping." I am under no illusions that Iran is a saintly actor on the world stage, but Trump admininstration has violated a working international nuclear agreement and has been warmongering, exaggerating, and lying about Iran since day one.

    What I am not going to do is to accept the word of NeoCons like Trump, Bolton, Pompeo, You, or Trump's lackeys at the Pentagon
