Iranian warship sunk by the US was sailing home after taking part in an exhibition hosted by India [View all] Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Thursday OP

They should have made up an engine problem and stayed in Port EX500rider Thursday #1

Or gone to any port....or dropped their flag and flown a white flag. Melon Thursday #3

Don't blame the victim, this was an act of terrorism by the us Blues Heron Thursday #9

It was a warship...on its way back to the conflict area Melon Thursday #16

We're all targets now thanks to trumps illegal and immoral murder mission- totally unjustified killing Blues Heron Thursday #18

Apparently there was a 2nd Iranian naval vessel at the Maritime exercise... EX500rider Thursday #29

Why would Iran, knowing that it's in tense diplomatic times with 2 aircraft carriers at its door Melon Thursday #38

I assume it was planned way earlier and they thought they could bluff their way thru the talks EX500rider Thursday #46

Cowardly sucker punch, another 80 murders for Trumps peace prize account Blues Heron Thursday #2

What do you suggest , the submarine surface first? EX500rider Thursday #5

I suggest not murdering to cover up the Epstein files. Blowing that ship up is a piece of shit move Blues Heron Thursday #6

Letting it get in range of a US Carrier Group to use its anti-ship cruise missiles would have been a worse idea EX500rider Thursday #7

This message was self-deleted by its author Blues Heron Thursday #8

Disgusting! ruet Thursday #10

Frigates are not unarmed ships nt sarisataka Thursday #11

Very highly unlikely that it was unarmed hardluck Thursday #13

Internet trolls still defend it. Kingofalldems Thursday #15

Internet trolls pretend it was a unarmed warship EX500rider Thursday #21

the real internet trolls spread Iranian propaganda. WarGamer Thursday #53

How was a Iranian navy vessel "unarmed"? EX500rider Thursday #17

More and more posts are claiming fantasy as facts sarisataka Thursday #20

You know, one of those "unarmed warships", you've heard of those right? EX500rider Thursday #22

The nonsense was flying yesterday about the US running short of Tomahawk missiles... WarGamer Thursday #54

Noted Iranian propagandist Mark Hertling, who knows more than you do, seems concerned about overall munitions stock. BannonsLiver 12 hrs ago #68

Don't get me wrong... this could turn into Shrub's iraq... or maybe not. WarGamer 6 hrs ago #78

Yet some are defending it. AloeVera Thursday #30

It being a "unarmed warship" is pure BS EX500rider Thursday #47

"Blowing that ship up is a piece of shit move" EX500rider Thursday #19

What ever happened to warning shots across the bow? This seems needlessly vicious. No help to the survivors either Blues Heron Thursday #23

How does a sub do a "warning shot" across the bow? EX500rider Thursday #24

I'm hearing it was unarmed, having participated in joint exercises requiring ships to be unarmed Blues Heron Thursday #32

nonsense, they literally have live fire exercises during naval maneuvers EX500rider Thursday #33

here: EX500rider Thursday #34

There is no reason ships in such an operation sarisataka Thursday #37

How does a sub help survivors? EX500rider Thursday #28

That ship sailed. Happy Hoosier Thursday #31

that's blaming the victim, this was pure Trumpian bloodlust on display. Blues Heron Thursday #39

I doubt Trump was anywhere in the decision making EX500rider Thursday #48

Totally - like when... lame54 Thursday #14

Is a US navy sub protecting it's carrier group a "bank robber" somehow? EX500rider Thursday #25

If your in the middle of an illegal act... lame54 Thursday #42

So in your mind the sub should allow the Iranian War vessel to try to sink the US carrier that somehow better to you? EX500rider Thursday #43

In your mind... lame54 Thursday #44

The carrier is conducting air ops in the Arabian Sea, the Iranian warship was headed that way EX500rider Thursday #45

Maybe you can be... lame54 Thursday #55

Sinking enemy warships during a war is rarely a war crime EX500rider Thursday #56

It is an ironic inversion sarisataka Thursday #57

It's all fruit of a poison tree... lame54 Thursday #58

Doesn't make it a war crime EX500rider Yesterday #60

Epstein. B.See Thursday #4

The craven excuses are almost as bad as the act itself Torchlight Thursday #12

No woke rules of war, for sure Easterncedar Thursday #26

Some serious bloodlust here. NoMoreRepugs Thursday #27

Both statements are BS hardluck Thursday #36

"US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute" not EX500rider Thursday #51

The Iranian Captain Needed to Know How to Read the Room OC375 Thursday #35

We are being told by our government that this is actually not a war. This was a terrorist act by the US Blues Heron Thursday #40

Don't care what Trump says, bro OC375 Thursday #41

So if the Iranian warship got in range and fired her missiles at US ship also a terrorist act? EX500rider Thursday #49

Self defense, duh Blues Heron Thursday #50

most wars have a aggressor on one side, that hardly makes it "terrorism" EX500rider Thursday #52

It's worse than terrorism, it's state sponsored terror. Blues Heron Yesterday #62

Yeah no, it's just regular warfare EX500rider Yesterday #64

It's like if you break into someone's house they can shoot you, it's self defense, you shoot them it's murder. Blues Heron Yesterday #65

In my opinion, yes Blues Heron Yesterday #67

Iran is shooting at all nations ships OC375 Thursday #59

Interesting how that doesn't get called out... sarisataka Yesterday #61

If you say so bro Blues Heron Yesterday #63

For everyone's information - the ship that was sunk was not on its way back to Iran, or "the carrier group" muriel_volestrangler 8 hrs ago #71

Highly unlikely the sub knew anything about that EX500rider 7 hrs ago #73

I think subs can tell which direction a ship is going, and its speed muriel_volestrangler 6 hrs ago #74

"sink the bastard, it's Iranian" That's generally how wars go, yes. EX500rider 6 hrs ago #75
