MAGA milk = ‘death and destruction all day long’. How long before Petey gets that tattooed on his ass.
“Woo-hoo, she blowed up real good!” (If you know you know.)
I don’t think this ends whenever the U.S. finally decides we’ve given them enough. I think we have bought ourselves at least a decade’s worth of fomented uprisings and terrorist attacks world-wide. Friendly nations must really think we are monsters now (as if they really needed any more proof). This really doesn’t end well.
The pro-life party, everyone!
I watched a few minutes of the press conference. I normally don’t partake in such things. It was incredibly surreal.
That the US would sink the IRIS Dena isn’t surprising. Iran’s most capable surface vessel, headed back from India to join the war, it was an obvious target. All Iranian ships, subs, aircraft, bases, launchers, troops, etc are targets that will be hit in the coming weeks. Iran’s energy infrastructure could be a target. Given that the US and Israel have launched a war aimed at regime decapitation and destruction, everything is a target, except civilians, but Hegseth is probably not over-anxious about breaking some eggs to make his omelette.
The Dena was in India for some sort of international gathering of naval vessels (?). It seems odd that Iran would send its navy’s most potent ship to a P.R. exercise, with tensions last week as high as they were. Granted, it probably just meant that the ship was sunk a day later than it outside would have been.
The other message that this event sends is that the US is now effectively operating as a pirate navy, giving no quarter for survivors. The hubris on display here is both disgusting and expected. What this is saying to anyone we go into conflict is, return the favor.
I meant to ask you – is “You Sank My Battleship!” a nod to “You scratched my anchor”?
