How could sending ships to Iran not be looking for trouble? If we didn't want to send any bad signals, we would only have to have stayed 15mi out to remain in international waters IIRC. So basically, they were patrolling pretty damn close to Iran. If an Iranian warship was 10 mi outside of New York City, what do you think we'd do? Duhh.

Yes it is.

What the fuck else do you think they're patrolling for?

They go out and patrol to find trouble.

How could sending ships to Iran

Sending ships to INTERNATIONAL WATERS* like every other nation with a boat does every day.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Yeah... a ten minute sail in the right direction and WAM you hit Iran.

But no, that's not too close!

Like fuck, why don't we just go stand on the sidewalk in front of your house and wave our guns around?

It's not your property we're on.

Should you be arrested for trespassing on my property when you stand 10 feet away from my property?

And I think you should read the OP again. Nobody was "waving guns around" except the Iranians.

Having a gun is not the same thing as "waving it around".

The Iranians were the ones waving guns around. The US ships were simply doing their job in International Waters.

History is against you on this one.




For example, world war one was caused by a single assassination.

But you make it sound like it is a responsibility for the US.

It's the US's responsibility to watch out for its interests and part of that means patrolling International Waters.

You make it sound like it's Iran's responsibility to harass US ships that aren't bothering anyone.

The Strait of Hormuz, which is in international waters, is near much of the world's oil supplies.




Sounds like we shouldn't have been there anyway, all this comotion is a result of three badass U.S. guided missile cruisers chillin' around where Iran keeps its most precious resources. That would be like if there was an international strait that went through the pentagon's back yard and russia just decided to come check out the scenery. - What would we have done?

Sounds like you don't know what "International Waters" means.

By the way, there are OTHER countries adjacent to the Strait of Hormuz. None of them attacked any US ships claiming like Iran apologists that we shouldn't be there. Only Iran.

Why do people still blindly swallow the tainted seed of this administration? It's possible that this event happened as reported, but it smells a little like Gulf of Tonkin to me. None of us were there, and none of us really know the truth. It is possible this event never even occurred.
