It appears that the missiles fired at the US ships were stopped by the Phalanx systems. If that is the case, then they were just seconds from hitting the ships. This is not a smart thing to do. Trump is risking the lives of hundreds of sailors and a billion dollar ship for a publicity stunt.
This is not sustainable or sensible. Eventually a missile will get through.
Also we have no operational mine clearing equipment and you are sailing into a mine field. That is just stupid.
This is not a smart thing to do.
Sounds very on brand for him then. I've given up on expecting there to be an end to this, I think it will just go on and on and on until Trump gets kicked out of office (and then some more because Dems are just as eager about this war and sucking off Bibi).
They legitimately don't know if they want it open or closed...
But we're totally not at war, nope, that's all on pause...
Wow look at that pollution....
