That many of you would support Iran for nothing more than to spite Donald Trump is telling.

Do I want to go to war, no. Never. But Im not going to go out there and defend Iran and its awful regime and pretend they are innocent and not complicit in this problem.

I'm confused as to why you posted that.
Who do you feel is "supporting" Iran and who do you feel is "defending" Iran?

umm...the person who thinks that it's dumbfuckery for the President of the United States to instruct the U.S. Navy not to allow itself to be harassed by an Iranian regime desperate for relevance just might, perhaps, be the person who is supporting or defending Iran, if only by logical extension.

Context matters -- as some tweeters and retweeters know but not all posters care.

so, the US should practice escalation rather than de-escalation?

if we aren’t being fired upon, and just being “harassed”, it’s ok to blow them outta the water?

interesting...

ok?

it’s like Ace Ventura on the highway trying to get the Dolphins player to flip him off so he can see if his ‘84 championship ring is missing the triangular cut amber...

but our president, and apparently yourself as well, think that instead of flipping them off, we should get butt-hurt and actually fire on them

Umm. Since I'm slow, can you elaborate on who that individual is that thinks "it's dumbfuckery for the President of the United States to instruct the U.S. Navy not to allow itself to be harassed by an Iranian regime desperate for relevance"?

You're 100% right that context matters. I'm just curious as to how and why you are the ultimate judge and decider what other people's thoughts and context actually mean.

Look around, Gutter. Don't the hallways and carpet and the paintings look familiar?

Do you know where you are?

I'm just here to help.

ZOMG!!

sad that our military is such that it’s shaking in its boots because some iranian boats were swerving at them in their battleships and aircraft carriers

i mean, seriously?

are we not the most powerful military on the planet anymore?

i swear...no longer does the buck stop here, but i guess we are no longer speaking softly but carrying a big stick

we’re being taunted, and president dipshit is playing right into their hands

Settle down.

You're as bad as he is.

projecting much?

My Gaia.

Who is taunting whom?

Says the guy who's freaking out.

You'll be OK. I promise.

Huh? Frankly, I doubt this was anything more than Trump "instructing" the military to do this and the military leaders just rolling their eyes and saying "yeah, OK". It sounds more like Trump just chumming the water to keep things noisy and erratic.

The last think the navy Captains need is a tweet from bone spurs.

I am in no way a fan of Trump, but I say that if these boats are getting close enough to cause concern for a Commander of a specific vessel, he should indeed order them blown out of the water. There is just way too much at stake.

If they do end up obliterating one boat, there most likely won't be any more.

or, it could spark an escalation

guess there’s only one way to find out

I just hope this World War III isn't as bad as the one we had in January, which Trump started when he did that one thing.

I've always thought you were a smart guy DC. I still do. That's why I am a bit surprised you are posting in the manner in which you are.
You are going to tell me and others how we feel based on things we never said?
You are going to assume things based on what YOU feel we implied?
Have at it for whatever purpose it serves you but you couldn't be more wrong about some of your actuations and assumptions.


MY EXACT words - Donnie ain't playin'!
Not sure how you "shoot down" a gunboat but hey, we have Donnie in charge and he's flexing his muscles!
Nothing like "war" to take away focus from a different "war".

YOUR interpretation - "The person who thinks that it's dumbfuckery for the President of the United States to instruct the U.S. Navy not to allow itself to be harassed by an Iranian regime desperate for relevance just might, perhaps, be the person who is supporting or defending Iran, if only by logical extension".

Where in my post did I say or even imply that it's "dumbfuckery for President of the United States to instruct the U.S. Navy not to allow itself to be harassed by an Iranian regime desperate for relevance ?"

Where in my post did I say or even imply that I was "supporting or defending Iran"?

You want to continue to say false things about me - go ahead but I sure as heck am going to continue to defend myself when I am being accused of something I didn't do.
