US sinks 6 Iranian small boats as violence flares amid ceasefire​

U.S. Forces sank six Iranian small boats near the Strait of Hormuz amid President Donald Trump's "Project Freedom" on Monday.
U.S. Central Command announced the engagement in a press call with reporters, saying Iran's military capability has been "dramatically degraded."
CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said on the call that Iran historically has deployed "between 20 and 40 small boats" when harassing vessels in the strait.
"Today, we saw just six, and eliminated them quickly," Cooper said.
"We have an enormous amount of capability and firepower concentrated in and around the Strait, including 864 Apache and MH 60 Seahawk helicopters used just this morning to eliminate six Iranian small boats threatening commercial shipping," he added.

-------------------------------------------------

How many times have we destroyed the Iranian Navy again?

If it where me I would deploy Apaches and scout boats up and down the coastal areas and warn all Iranians to stay off the strait or face blowup

Tell us you lost the argument without telling us you lost the argument.
Only a conspiratorial, election denying, anti-public health nut like you would see a string of disjointed rage-filled slop as a winning argument. You used to care when an outsider like him disrupted the board - what happened to you?

You are as dumb as a brick. And let me say, the bricks on my residence are very strong. Unlike you, I don't need a government issuing me rules like you do. I'm a live and let live. You, however, look to government because you are a weak beta male.
LMAO... Yep, the bricks on your residence are strong. The very best bricks. Nobody has bricks like you. In fact, no one knows more about bricks than you. The mason that put them up came to you... a very tough man, that mason... And he said to you with tears in his eyes... Sir, sir how did you get these bricks to be so strong?

Sorry man... That line about the bricks on your house being strong was very Trump like and I couldn't resist.

Anyway, Just to kick in my 2 cents worth on the Socialism thing, I'm left of most on here and I'm all about capitalism. It does a much better job at MOST things than socialism does.

I'm actually a bit concerned with our new socialist brother Donald Trump. He's been working to get the government involved by suggesting that the Government taking partial ownership of US Steel with the President (Him of course) with securing a "golden share," giving the U.S. government veto power over key decisions like plant closures and job locations. The administration has taken or sought equity stakes in strategic industries, including rare earths company MP Materials, and secured profit-sharing agreements with tech firms like Nvidia and AMD. That's textbook socialism.

And guess what... not a PEEP out of Republicans. Kind of like RFK's MAHA movement (which I fully support by the way), but when Michelle Obama suggested something similar, Republicans were sounding (well, exactly like you...) screaming socialism from the mountaintops.

Socialism is just a tool... a method to use when needed. Capitalism almost always works better, but not always. Capitalism always seeks a profit and that promotes incentivism, creativity, and ways to do things better and cheaper. That is a great thing. But sometimes a profit isn't what you are looking for first and foremost. Sometimes you just need to get things done and there's not going to be a profit at the other end. I'd guess some of the New Deal programs under FDR back in the 30s were a prime example of this... Particularly the TVA (Tennesse Valley Authority... You can still see some of their puke green buildings to this day) dedicated to bringing electricity and other basic amminities into parts of rural America (particularly Applicha). That needed to happen, but no one was EVER going to make money running power and water into rural american households. That was good case for government in action.

Personally, I question our capitolist driven healthcare system. The US is the richest country in the world and I think we can do a much better job of taking care of the poor than we do. I've always had a job where benefits were a part of the compensation package, but that doesn't happen for a lot of folks. I just don't think it's right for someone to get in an accident or get sick and suddenly have debt hanging over their heads that they can never pay off. Hell, I had Cancer Surgery a couple of years ago and JUST the hospital bill was worth more than my freaking house. I'd have been screwed w/o health benefits. We can do better and more socialized healthcare could do a better job... Think VA benefits (yet another example of pure socialism at work that you don't hear much about).

You think small boats equals a Navy? These are not what we call capital ships which defines a Navy lol. Leftist are funny when they try to talk about things they have no understanding about, IE- guns, finance, military, but yet act as if they are all knowing....lulz

Keep supporting Iranian propaganda. Who lost anything today? The U.S. or the Iranians? Yeah, you're a full blown Socialist. Supporting Iran, how fking pathetic. Let me guess, you also support Graham Platner in Maine. Meanwhile, you said Pete Hegseth had a Nazi tattoo. Clown show.
Their f'in traitors and KKK supporters. If you support the party that created and still funds the KKK today then you support the KKK...

I literally don't and have stated many times over the years that I'm not aligned with the far-left of my party but if you insist that I have to be because I'm on the left, then you are a f'ing traitorous insurrectionist, an enemy of our country.

Were you at the Capitol on J6?
You are not a lib or moderate. you are a cross breed of Keith Olbermann and Brian Shapiro. I would add Destiny but he's not an incel like the other two...

Lmao. You're so fos, you constantly support them, and you vote for them. You would have absolutely voted for Mamdani against any Republican. Own it. You're a Socialist. I've seen all of your posts.
He was all for that SS Mamdani and that witch in VA. Not to mention he was all up sniffing the Squads bacon stains...

You are a corrupt authoritarian who embezzles our treasury into your own bank accounts because that's the kind of person who runs your party, which means you support it.
You supported a multiple people that gave billions of our tax dollars to Iran so they could build a nuke and fund terrorist, thus you are a terrorist sympathizer and traitor....
Dude, you're not welcome here. You've brought nothing but a volcanic rage and insults to this board. Go find somewhere else to spiral.
Says the guy that insults everybody...

I'm a self sustaining adult and I have been my whole life - the government hasn't supported me an iota. How the F do you think you know people well enough that you've never met to spout this obnoxious drivel? I could also kick your @SS guaranteed. Get your nasty @SS off this forum. You are not welcome.
My God it really is Brian Shapiro....lulz

You don't just bring opposing views, you bring venom and you lie through your teeth. Remember yesterday how you claimed that Crooks voted for Kamala even though he died in July? GFY
Always projecting there Brian. Makes sense that your initials are BS-Brian Shapiro....

A stream of profanity laced tirades that include a list of lies about a person you don't know is far from shutting someone down but it does make you a deranged @ssh0le. I am a free speech advocate but there are always consequences if you push it too far and you're way over that red line. Now take your dark hatred somewhere else, you're too hostile and indecent for this board.
Oh the irony here yet again...

I don't bring venom, nor have I ever told you to stfu which you do daily. You're just a gutless wonder who cannot defend anything you post, then simply attack because you get your pathetic Socialist a$$ handed to you. You have zero facts, just emotional garbage.

Does nothing ever stick with you? We've already gone over this but you're not listening. He registered as a republican as soon as he turned 18, which does NOT make him a democrat dumbass. His classmates confirmed he was a conservative and a conservative is NOT a Democrat dumbass. He also researched Biden events but when Trump landed in his backyard, he became an easy target. His social media also didn't show that he leaned Democrat, in fact nothing did except your one anecdote but that is far from enough to paint a picture of him politically. All this to say, there is nothing you can point to that says he was definitely a Democrat - nothing. You're just too blinded by rage to understand that other people hate him too.

" On Biden’s Inauguration Day, however, a 17-year-old Crooks also allegedly made a $15 donation to a “Progressive Turnout Project PAC,” which has been given much attention. As Ryan Grim at DropSite news reports, this contribution shouldn’t be given too much weight. The email-based PAC regularly spams inboxes with confusing links and flashy colors and can hardly be seen as demonstrating much about the shooter’s ideology."

Again there was a massive drive by the left to vote in the Reps primary to vote for Haley against Trump as I have posted before with videos of local news interviewing leftist that did just that...

BAHAHAHAHAHA!

You walk into conversations and call people Socialists, beta boys, clowns, frauds, dumb as a brick, ignorant ...

You never make actual arguments, but you shout repeatedly that you destroyed other's arguments ... with what? Absolutely nothing.

All you do is bring venom.

Now STFU, Lieutenant Colonel General Psycho Horse Manicurist.
Sure he does but only after you people have been calling conservatives way worst for decades. You can dish it out but cant take it. The days of the right just taking it are over. You created this situation just like you created Trump. You thought you could say and do as you like and the right would always bend the knee. Those days are over...

I think dpic73 is a paid troller with CCP connections
He was working for Ukraine before. Since USAID money dried up he had to move to China and Iran. But Irans money is running out also. Remember a couple weeks ago when Clemson announced there was an Iranian propaganda group in Clemson funded by Iran?

Calling others beta, is that like a furry thing?
Here you go, sugar.
Seems pretty accurate

Calling Democrats "beta" is a derogatory slang term used by political opponents to characterize them as weak, submissive, or lacking traditional masculinity.The term stems from the "alpha/beta" hierarchy often cited in "manosphere" or alt-right online circles:Alpha Males: Portrayed as dominant leaders, assertive, and strong.Beta Males: Portrayed as "emasculated," whiny, or secondary to alphs.

Pot meet kettle
My lava bubbles just below the surface and only comes through a fissure when hardcore Trump supporters come here kicking and screaming because we don't love him enough.
