Biden Administration Sends Unmistakable Warning to Iran: a Ohio-class SSGN Will Soon Arrival at Your Doorstep.

The guided missile nuclear-powered submarine can carry about 150 Tomahawk missiles, each packed with a 1,000 lb. warhead.

It's clear that U.S. patience is wearing thin as Iranian-backed attacks on U.S. troops in the region have continued.

The fact that the U.S. has announced a SSGN deployment is rare enough in itself.

Our aircraft carrier battle groups are also on the move, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower strike group having entered the Red Sea over the weekend. It is now in position to undertake airstrikes against Iran and Iranianp-backed groups in the region.

Meanwhile, the USS Carl Vinson strike group has arrived in the Western Pacific, while the USS Ronald Reagan makes a port call in the Philippines.

The Royal Canadian Navy frigate, HMCS Ottawa, conducted a transit of the Taiwan Strait with the destroyer USS Rafael Peralta, with the predicable protests from China.

Let’s hope our military hasn’t been weakened by recent woke-ism bullshit

You do know what 'gun boat diplomacy is don't you? It is a failed method of intimidation developed by the British when they would send in their battle ship to scare the locals. It doesn't work any more. America lost every war it started since 1945 including the one in Ukraine. No one is afraid of the US anymore. Its weapons have been shown to be for show not for battle. Once located one Kinzal missile will leave a radio active pile of rubble off the coast of Israel.

@beckyromero And when the yanks lose the sub an a few aircraft carriers they will learn that they are not nearly as powerful as they delude themselves into thinking. They did lose the war in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Ukraine so they are not nearly as strong as some neocon warmonger wants to make them out to be. in fact the US has never actually won a war on its own since forever. Not sure why any American keeps wanting to support the Military Industrial Complex as said complex robs the average American blind and returns nothing. I mean really what was the US doing in Ukraine besides supporting Nazis? What is the US doing in Israel besides supporting Jewish supremists aka Nazis.

"And when the yanks lose the sub an a few aircraft carriers they will learn that they are not nearly as powerful as they delude themselves into thinking."

And when was the last time the Yanks lost a sub or aircraft carrier due to hostile fire?

That's right, Hippy, not since WW2. 🙄

"I have met several from Eastern Ukraine who want their region to become part of Russia."

Yes, yes, Hippy, we've heard about your experience with a few "Ukrainians" who want to be part of Russia before. They remind me of the "Czechs" in the Sudetenland that wanted to become part of Germany in 1938. 🙄 🙄

"I have read other reports that said the biggest question Eastern Ukrainians had was "What is taking Putin so long"."

What's taking Putin so long is that he failed in his attempt to decapitate the "Nazis" in Kyiv. Going on two years now.

Very strange how the Ukrainians are still holding out, since they are suffering "10 to 1" military losses compared to the Russians, or so you tell us Hippy.
🙄🙄🙄

@Thinkerbell your lack of knowledge is only surpassed by your ignorance of world events so when NATO pulls it's support from Ukraine and Ukraine is permanently divided are you going to be surprised or simply deny it ever happened. You neocons are a joke.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
Yeah the US would be a complete pariah if it were to resort to nukes well assuming the world doesn't nuke the US in retaliation. Iran has nukes as well. Not a smart move by the US.

@Thinkerbell if you think anyone is intimidated by a big sub with conventional warheads you might be an American. Americans do love their hardware.

Damn right!
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@beckyromero too bad it's hardware is outdated

Personally I think it inherently dangerous to make disingenuous threats in an area so rife with itchy trigger fingers just desperate for somebody to flinch.

But this is what it's come to is it ?

Believe me, if I had my way...

@Diotrephes
The dummies in Washington are walking into a trap. You can bet that the ships will be attacked and sunk. What will they do then?

Unlike the Ruskies, the U.S. Navy can take care of itself.

@beckyromero Unlike the Ruskies, the U.S. Navy can take care of itself.

We shall soon see.

Maybe Iran should review what the US did to Russia’s mercenaries in Syria. Just give Uncle Sam a reason, I dare them.

Didn’t Biden say Trump was going to get us into WWIII?
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@Bill1372

Actually, Trump said Biden was going to get us into "World War Two."

🤣
Bill1372 · 51-55, M
@beckyromero you’re talking about something Trump said, I’m talking about something Biden said. You’re comparing apples and oranges… either way, looks like Biden is the one taking us that direction, doesn’t it.
