2nd U.S. carrier strike group steaming towards Persian Gulf

[Arminkh]

Read the article: it's new training between different types of crews and aircraft, deploying troops, demonstrating sea superiority, etc. Clearly these include offense-oriented exercises, not just defense-oriented ones.

And even more ships may be coming...

Its over body! don't get excited: They are looking for ways to save face why they didn't even enter the Persian Gulf:

Pentagon chief claims US steps ‘put on hold’ Iran’s plans for ‘attacks against Americans’

RT has a very good Joke:

There is an old joke about a grifter selling rocks as tiger repellent, who when asked how it works explains, “you don’t see any tigers around, do you?”

Hahaha
If we were to believe recent actions were by Iran and it's proxies and not some false flag, then Iran's last action was allegedly the Rocket attack on the Green Zone after which the Pentagon comes out and says Iran is pulling back due to American deterrence? Which part of these alleged escalations by Iran is a sign of pulling back? It sounds alot like US is pulling back after it got some taste of the cost.

Using proxies and lobbing a rocket at the embassy instead of a massive attack at the U.S. military is a big difference.

so which is it? cant have it both ways.. Iran cant be both backing down and at the same time attacking oil tankers and American embassies. That's seems to be the opposite of backing down.... that's actually declaration of war territory....

the americans cant even put a semi-coherent story together. just throw out random accusations, knowing there is no such thing as open media to question you.

MSNBC and FOX news cant even agree about whether its night or day on domestic issues. but have virtually the EXACT same views when it comes to foreign policy... They agree on Venezuela, They suddenly have seen the evilness of china and are spreading 24/7 anti-china rhetoric, They equally love war, they completely and wholeheartedly agree on any foreign adventures like the Iraq war, Syria terrorist war, Libya war, etc etc etc..

Saudi Arabia says 2 oil tankers damaged by sabotage attacks
Saudi Arabia said Monday two of its oil tankers were sabotaged off the coast of the United Arab Emirates in attacks that caused “significant damage” to the vessels, one of them as it was en route to pick up Saudi oil to take to the United States.

Former head of Aljazeera wrote on twitter 2 days ago:
contrary to what has been reported in the media surrounding Pompeo’s visit to Iraq, the visit is intended to calm #Iran. This administration seeks to replace Obama’s Iran deal with Trump’s own version. The US does not want a war, which is clearly reflected in Trump’s tweets.

As to exemptions from sanctions , Pompeo unofficially told Iraqis they’d be exempt. Ofc Saudi and UAE media are running w/ it celebrating a war w/ Iran. They act as if Trump is Haftar who will risk it all to fulfill their war ambition. Trump is milking them for what it’s worth

U.S embassy in Iraq confirmed this news. Iraq can import energy from Iran.
LOL war!

PressTV-'US grants Iraq waiver for energy imports from Iran'

I'm not sure. If it's not over then I'd say that you have days or weeks, not months, before the shooting starts.

Better to capitulate now. Then you may save a remnant.

You see, it takes certain fighter personality and resilience for a nation to be able to survive for more than 2 millennia's. Thank you for your advise but that is for nations who come and go without leaving a trace not for Iran.

It does take a certain mentality. Capitulation is how Iranians survived their defeats by the Greeks, Brits, Russians, Turks...

That was a border violation in peacetime but nonetheless the mullahs' boarding party insisted on humiliating the U.S. crew.
If the prospects for conflict between the U.S. and Iran are increasing is that really something you want the U.S. Navy to remember?

Stop watching fox.

Those sailors dropped on their knee and urinated themselves before any intimidation by the Iranians.

You're one of those Americans who will get surprised during Trump's presidency. Quote this.

LMAO. keep quiet before you embarrass yourself further. Now Trump is saying he wants to send more troops to the ME?

Look, i'm very objective, logical and factual , and from all my military readings, i can say this confidently: US is not ready to seriously punish Iran. Since the US has used its LAST CARD(blocking oil sales), US wants to punish Iran militarily, but the US military doesnt know how to do that without getting stuck or making it bigger than the "scope" they prefer. A US president like Trump who will make threats, and not back it up, is a fukn idiot and traitor. This is not the US i'm used to.And why is US fighting everyone now? List of countries US has problems with now:
Turkey
Iran
N.Korea
China,
EU(mostly economic and diplomatic, but still)
Syria

Its like the US is arguing with everybody and everybody is mostly arguing with the US. whats the common denominator?

If by capitulation you mean kicking out the invaders, then fine.

when your around thousands of years, and are a superpower for a long portion of that history, there is bound to be some defeats. unlike other 1 hit wonder empires, its remarkable how Iran always came back... Euros really only dominated the 19th century up to early 20th century. Things are correcting themselves again.

just look at jewish history and learn your place.

its thanks to cyrus the great you have any presence in that area, and it was thanks to Islamic tolerance that later on you survived. Europe despised jews from day 1, never wanted you and repeatedly massacred and genocided jews up until recent history. always seen as a parasitic group of people who always exploited their neighbours to their advantage. its funny how Iranians and even arabs have treated jews much better then the white cultures you usurped and attach yourself to

 

[Kastor]

Haha, defeat and capitulation? Last I saw it it was the Israeli PM flying around 24/7 kissing a as all over the world, don't talk about capitulation, your people are a nation of handouts and leftovers. We are a proud race with a rich history.
