Well this does not look good https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9284293/explosions-oil-tankers-gulf-of...
Two oil tankers attacked in the Gulf of Oman one may have been a torpedo attack.

I suspect most Americans still are not over the 444 days that 50 Americans were held hostage. If Trump ‘starts’ any war, this would be the ones Americans would rally behind. We will take then down...to Chinatown. And the world will watch and say “holy chit!” Trust me, it would not be pretty. Worked in this business for years.

Jimmy carter could've and should've unleashed hell when it happened. I believe the world would have cheered and stood behind us. Now, not so much. Nobody in this country under 45 cares about the hostage crisis, most probably never heard of it. It will be spun into Trump's war. A full on media blitz about how Trump had to go to war to try and stay out of jail… blah blah blah.

I hope we stay out of it. I'm really tired of us taking care of the world's problems and getting grief when things go wrong. Let the UN handle it. We can send bottled water and a couple Medical units.

The current generation most likely has never heard of the Iran Hostage Crisis I teach U.S. History at both High School and College and the books give it less than 1/2 a page explaining it was in retaliation for Carter allowing the Shah to receive cancer treatment in the US.

I was in the Marine Corps during the Iran hostage crisis.  What a complete forking joke Jimmy Carter was and always has been as a world "leader".   I doubt that idiot COULD have gone to war, he so gutted the military during his presidency.  Iran knew that.......not sure what they think now......but the idea that they could take the U.S. on now in a military campaign is laughable.

I joined the Navy in 81 and for years we worked to undo the damage he did.

Go Navy!
I was 91-97

I struggle with these events because I absolutely know there are players who want the US to wipe out Iran.

I keep asking myself why would Iran do this and how would it benefit them?  I truly can't think of a single thing.
I spent many months over there toying with the Iranians so I know they like to poke and prod, but they're not stupid.
I keep my tinfoil hat a little loose to allow reason to come in, but something doesn't smell right to me.

Don't forget Iran has had 2 major popular uprisings the last was when our previous President was in office and he offered no moral public or other support so as the economy continues to sink the Iranian leaders know they may be faced with internal opposition. what is in it for them well if Japan and other countries who need Iranian oil push back on the U.S. it may help the Iranian economy thus preserving the Iranian leadership.

Seems pretty risky, but you may be correct.

I guess time will tell.

I see no reason for President Trump to put our young men and women in harms way when he is destroying Iran by using our economy against them.  The sanctions are working,  Iran is choking....stay the course.

GREAT call not giving the left what they wanted and not retaliating for the drone shoot-down.  Keep playing chess.....let the checker players do what they do.
