>Donald Trump vowed Friday that if Iran inappropriately approached US ships, they would be "shot out of the water."
>"And by the way, with Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures that our people -- that they shouldn't be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water," he said at a rally here
>Trump appeared to be referring to a series of close encounters between the US and Iran in international waters in the Persian Gulf.
>An Iranian ship came within 100 yards of a US Navy patrol ship earlier this week in what the US Navy described as an "unsafe and unprofessional" action involving "harassing maneuvering."
>And late last month, a US Navy patrol craft fired three warning shots at an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps boat after US officials said it had harassed two US ships. Another US patrol craft and a Kuwaiti Navy ship were also harassed in the northern end of the Persian Gulf.
>Iran has also flown drones over US ships and in one of the most intense confrontations between the US and Iran, Iranian troops took US sailors into custody in January after the US naval ship accidentally strayed into Iranian territorial waters.
>The US has condemned Iran's actions but hasn't responded militarily to the provocations.
>But Trump, the Republican nominee, has repeatedly argued that Obama has been too "weak" on the world stage and vowed a more aggressive posture, including threatening more serious military action
>Trump has vowed to "bomb the s--- out of ISIS" and has left open the possibility of using nuclear weapons as president.
>He also has suggested that he would bomb ISIS targets in Libya, expanding the US fight against the terrorist group
idk when the iran navy captures our shit its kind of embarassing. we should be the ones doing the bullying MAGA

are trump supporters so idiotic that they don't realize iran and russia are allied? how would vlad react to trump attacking iranian ships? baka

Iran views us as weak right now.
That bullshit with our sailors being detained shouldn't have happened

What if America was harassing Iranian ships?
Brandon Moore
trump + war worries me but with hillary you know it's gauranteed
Sebastian Ortiz
So? Russia has far more in common with us. If push came to shove i am sure that they would pick the white side.
Austin King
It's the same rhetoric that the clinton neocon supporters use against russia. >hurr how dares russia threaten the nato troops stationed near THEIR borders??? provocation by dictator vlad!!! s m h
Hudson Fisher
>Attacking a fucking patrol boat >this escalated to a full out nuclear war. >all countries are preemptively nuked.
Yet the australians can do attack Iranian patrol boats.. Okay dokie.
Gavin Rivera
>MUH WAR
No, this is about asserting America's sovereignty and sending a message that no one fucks with our shit.
No one is fucking declaring war on anyone.
STOP THE BOATS
Noah Bailey
Iran was responsible for killing dozens of soldiers in Iraq with their IEDs.
They are harassing our ships. They took American sailors hostage and paraded them on TV, and showed a female sailor with a headress.
What would YOU do? You don't have to declare war. We did this with Libya back in the day. We bombed some shit and left.
Russia will lean on Iran either way. Trump will cut a deal with Putin.
Mason Ross
You're already harassing them by sailing inside their maritime border in the gulf...
Lucas Murphy
>hillary funds war in Syria >hillary assists libya disaster >neocons all support hillary

James Cox
Thankfully the us is guilty of no such crimes in the middle east. :^)
Jason Rodriguez
You believe the official story?
>our boats broke it was an accident ;(
They were intercepted and maneuvered into their waters to avoid getting BTFO. Iran's shit needs to end, but sinking their cuckboats sends a message that there's a new sheriff in town.
Obama won't do anything.
Michael Long
>Iran >a bunch of sand niggers
Uh huh, American education.
Ryan Cruz
So Trump wants to shoot down more Iranian civilians? Well, it's not the first time
Don't you have some to run for big brother Israel, a country of Semites, actual sand niggers, my little Americuck.
Jace Howard
You are maaaaaaaaaaad
Cooper Reyes
dont you have some cum to drink from the sloppy 2nds of your wife's daughter's pussy?
Charles Wilson
>the cuck continues to defend sandniggers
Blake Edwards
Serious, honest question here. Do the Trump supporters recognize Trump's hypocrisy here? Just now he's faulting Hillary for being "trigger-happy" and "causing death and destruction". And in another breath he says we should blow up the boats of other nations we are not at war with for the crime of getting to close to ours. Is this not hypocrisy? I am looking for reasonable debate here. Someone tell me how these two viewpoints don't conflict with each other.
Lincoln Nguyen
Difference between invading a country and giving our boys the right to defend themselves.
Nicholas Hughes
Glad won't do shit. Do you think he wants to risk an ass kicking over a bunch of goat fuckers?
Ian Harris
And why do any ass kicking? Russia is a white nation and should be brought into an alliance not a war.
Jaxon Perry
Hillary uses her media control to get the general population to want a reignited cold war with Russia
Trump wants our troops to assert their dominance over the individuals who threaten them.
One wants a war for money, the other wants individual justice.
David Nguyen
you think you talk to a swede?
Thomas Long
>boat is heading toward you >give them a warning >they keep coming >another warning >they keep coming >another warning >they wont stop >shoot at them >OH MY GAWD YOU CANT BE SIRIUS NIGGA WYD
Alexander Cooper
And blowing up a boat who is, admittedly too close, but not causing mayhem or destruction, would inevitably and almost automatically lead to a declaration of war. So using media control to ignite a war is bad, but using guns and cannons is ok?
Kevin Martin
he would fight to protect us interests hillary only protects her own interests he will remove kebab hillary will start a world war with russia
Eli Ramirez
And yet, this boat wasn't shot at and the ultimate end was...nothing happened. No one was shot, no one was killed. What would blowing up their boat have changed? Besides leading irrevocably to war?
Luke Phillips
Iran needs to learn its place. It would be costly to invade, but u.s naval superiority is too vast for them to retaliate outside of a land battle.
Landon Price
Not having our sailors arrested and humiliated would have been nice. We used to flat out blow any boat out of the water if it even started turning its way towards one of our ships. You act like these iranian shit heads can't just unload on our guys as soon as they get up close. All they have to do is fuck off its that easy. In that situation its our troops or theirs and I'd pick ours every time.
Logan Martin
So war is bad, but maybe it's ok as long as we have a good chance of winning? Sure it's costly to invade, it's easy to handwave the costs of war like we did with Iraq...how well did that turn out again? Have we even gotten close to beginning to pay off our debt from that exercise in teaching other countries their place?
Lucas Brooks
>blowing up a boat that breaks the maritime rules of naval travel would ignite a war Okay pablo, yet abducting American soldiers and parading them on live TV gets you a 400 million dollar cash payment.
If they want to declare war over us not putting up with their shit, go ahead. They won't do it, and if they do we will win. Russia wants the US as an ally and Trump wants to ally with them. The idea that we're enemies is pushed by the democrats.
Henry Hall
I don't think Putin gives a shit. He's just doing that alliance for the fuck of it.
Wyatt Allen
We are gonna take their shit this time to pay for the war.
Blake Rivera
>Fatalities: 290 (All)
Good start I'd say, Mohammed bin al Oraqi
Justin Parker
no i agree, trump messed up on this. but maybe he isnt serious. you know-say something extreme to bring people toward the middle. >yeah we wont blow them out of the water >we'll just sink their boat and arrest them like they did to us I dont think trump is that thick. he probably has some reason behind his words. i take it back, trump didnt mess up, unless he's dead ass-im going to war with you- serious
Lincoln Myers
>Serious, honest question here. Do the Trump supporters recognize Trump's hypocrisy here? Just now he's faulting Hillary for being "trigger-happy" and "causing death and destruction".

I am looking for reasonable debate here. Someone tell me how these two viewpoints don't conflict with each other. Hillary is aggressive on a strategic level, but wants the military to be as politically correct and media friendly as possible, to the point their effectiveness is reduced.
Trump is isolationist on a strategic level but wants enemies to fear the US military as a deterrent for them to act in the first place.
It's much like the argument about nukes, without them large world wars are possible, nukes are worse but they are so destructive the deterrent reduces conflict.
Dylan Hughes
Just like he didn't care about the west trying to get rid of assad? :^)
Matthew Butler

theres a difference between sinking a ship out of self defense and sinking a country for god knows what reason
Chase Perry
>russia will go to war with the biggest military in the world over a 3rd world shithole in the desert
Brandon Myers
Iran isn't a 3rd world shithole in the desert. Iranians are much smarter than White Americans.
Alexander Scott
They don't need it to keep the yanks out of their backyard, they already have the upper hand when it comes to electronic warfare. Both trump and clinton's fangirls seriously overestimate the us army's capabilities.
Alexander Young
both of them are.
Christian Sanchez
>Iranian troops took US sailors into custody in January after the US naval ship accidentally strayed into Iranian territorial waters.
Which they had every right to do?
Ian Phillips
fuck off ahmed.
Eli Hughes
>CNN
No Hillary..... No.
Landon Perry
Checked.
Ayden Clark
no they actually didn't every ship including military ships has the right to innocent passage
Blake Parker
Trump is very Nixonian in how he telegraphs messages of unpredictable, belligerent strength to brutal shithole countries.
Joseph Turner
So a predictably bad outcome versus an unpredictable and volatile one that only might be bad hmm
Christopher White
be careful with that edge
Jonathan Bailey
You need to remind the world that our military is unparalleled? By openly announcing that you're going to shoot back at attackers?
Trump sounds like a nigger taking selfies in the mirror holding a gun with no trigger discipline. It sucks that people are going to have to die to appreciate his stupidity. I'm rich so it probably won't affect me.
Joseph Turner
WTF, my wife only sees Iranian men now!
Bentley Taylor
so its now popular in the united states to talk up putin and praise russia yeah the right wing is literally doing a 180 and eating it self from within
Ryder Walker
>By openly announcing that you're going to shoot back at attackers? Is there something wrong with this?
Gavin White
A few Iranians on jet skis dominated the entire ZOG military.
Brody Davis
probably that fact its coming from the mouth of a dumb chimp
Jayden Kelly
Any argument other than "muh feels?"
John Evans
Iranians are a different kind of White. They cluster closely with the Adyghe people of the North Caucasus, moreso than Europeans, on autosomal DNA plots. Iranians are more of a kind Caucasus people with marginal Mesopotamian admixture from Armenians.
But that's besides the point: I think Russia would back Iran if Trump attacked.
Justin Ortiz
>bully repeatedly pulls your pants down and pushes you over in front of the whole class >if you stand up for yourself you're a warmonger
Parker Ross
putin would just shrug and kill chechens, he doesn't love iran to the point of starting a war over little boats
Gavin Sullivan
lmao
Evan Butler

Pick one shill faggot
Sebastian Wood
>2004 Iran Aussies were hardly the only ones telling Iranians to fuck off
Gavin Fisher
Yes start war with Iran. Excellent,
Jose Wilson
that applies to Iran a lot more than the US
Connor Johnson
But little boats are enough to make Americucks feel insecure and want to kill people.
Julian Kelly
Trump is such a fucking badass
Evan Richardson
Has nothing to do with the racial background of Iranians.
Also, the regime of Iran was supported by Carter administration and BBC, so you have no one to blame but yourselves for them getting power.
I have inside sources that tell me the plan for Greater Israel is a reality. I probably should not mention that since the NSA is probably monitoring. I won't say more beyond that.
Kayden Williams
>they already have the upper hand when it comes to electronic warfare
Carter Ward
What is the US navy doing in the Persian gulf?
Caleb Smith
>the plan for Greater Israel is a reality
Too bad they gave back so much territory.
James Richardson
Except its in the persian gulf. Imagine if iran had warships off the american coast.
Michael Morgan
Well it was either that or spend the next 5 years doing air raids on their shitty little country.
Eli Perry
since when is it cool to say lets be more like russia you people are shitting all over the founding fathers
Carson Robinson
If the US strafed an Iranian gunboat, no one would care
>that flag >calling yourself an americuck go back vlad
Colton Diaz
Same thing qould happen if iranian warships entered america waters.
