U.S. destroyers face second round of Iranian attacks

Lmao you STILL think Congress gives a f***?

You still thinking Congress will do literally anything to impede Trump in any way? Congress has already accepted the bullshit excuse that this "ceasefire" means the 60 days before the president needs to notify congress about military actions has been reset.  Also they let him tear down half of the White House and don't give a f***. Furthermore many of the people currently in congress had their lives directly threatened on January 6th by Trump and still have never made him face a consequence. They have drowned in the kool-aid.  This congress is entirely subservient to Trump. They're an atrophied husk of what was once a theoretical check and/or balance on the office of a man who isn't supposed to be a king, but is being given the powers of one anyways. 

You do realize there is no ousting him after the midterms, right?  There is no path in which we can mathematically have Dems get 67 Senators from these midterms. The House will impeach him, but that solely forces a trial in the Senate.  Without 67 Senators willing to vote to convict, he faces no consequences from impeachment.  We impeached him twice in his first term. The GOP will not cross the aisle to dump him. They all know keeping their heads down is still better than facing political suicide removing him - MAGA would target them, the RNC and donors would ensure they're cut off from funding and leadership. Any that voted to convict and actually caused it to happen would be persona non grata in the GOP. Maybe you get a couple to flip who put country before party, or think dumping him is the only way forward, but you will not get even close to 67 votes needed. Yes, they may want to pivot away from him when it's clear he's toxic for the party and not their future.  But they won't remove him from office.  They'd be shooting themselves in the foot with their voter base that would abandon them if they abandoned Trump.  Theyll be labeled traitors by their own, and risking their own personal safety. They'd seek instead to run out the clock on his term and rebrand around "moving forward" and "austerity," as they'd be facing a likely incoming Dem president after two years of a lame duck Trump.  They would start rebuilding around being opposition, screaming about the debt again (despite doing nothing but ballooning it while in power).  They'll set their sights on retaking the House in 2030 and winning POTUS in 2032. Abandoning him and voting to remove him would ensure a MAGA revolt that at best kills GOP enthusiasm to actually show up to vote, and at worse fractures the party.  They'll never do it.

Iran doesn’t care what congress will or won’t do. It views them as complicit to this nonsense. It’s strategic thinking but you have to be really naive to think any USA administration would succumb to outside pressure to remove their president.

Iran knows pain. They know suffering. They know hard times. They knew this day would come. They'll play the long game all day, every day.* Americans feeling the pain at the pump for months...that'll scare any US politician. Don't ruin Bubba's time of driving his 1991 Chevy down to the liquor store to pick up some Buds and maybe a Mountain Dew for the morning. That kind of pain and suffering will not be tolerated back home. *the Iranian regime sucks, but they are way more cunning than this administration.

Fortunately for him, Iran attacking US military forces after Trump already declared US hostilities being over, enables him to do whatever he likes.

If its not over by then, they will probably end up false flagging JD or Marco as an excuse to delay midterms.

Ousted by whom?

Republicans would rather be exposed as the pedophiles many of them are than go against Trump with a re-election in the future.

Then they've got another thing coming to them. Trump isn't getting ousted the very idea is ridiculous.

That's an absolute suicide mission. Small Boat team vs 3 US Navy Destroyers & whatever aircraft and helicopters the US military deployed for the operation.

How do you know they had crew? It’s trivially easily nowadays to rig up boats as remotely piloted suicide attack vehicles, and well within Iranian capabilities.

I’d hate to be on any side here, like said, only one needs to get through.

Yea wouldn’t want to be that cannon fodder

But what if you were doing it for Allah

Believe it or not, all time stock market highs!

Well yeah, it’s about to be the weekend! Gotta pretend things are calming down during the week, then waste billions of dollars blowing shit up after hours

US live fire exercises show that American warships can sustain a lot of hits if struck. The last Oliver Hazard Perry Frigate USS Ingraham took a lot of hits from the new NSM antiship missile, AGM-154s, and Harpoons before it sank. And that was without a crew doing damage control. So even if 1 missile gets through, it likely won’t sink the ship.

A siege definitely used to be considered an act of war during medieval times. 

Way more than one missile needs to get through to sink a modern destroyer, and the amount of defensive measures those ships have is not the only thing that’s limited. Iranian stockpiles of capable anti ship missiles are as well

The civilians the US is targeting? Can you expand on that?

“The civilians the USA is targeting” You are a bafoon

Putin is watching closely. I hope we dont put ourselves in the position where we are caught with our pants down.

Iran has been the aggressor for the last 40+ years. I’m no fan of Trump but the sooner the Islamic regime is gone the better.

Iran is still not the aggressor here? Lmao

If this was the case as you say, then why shouldn’t they just go ahead and do it. Since it’s so easy, and Iran has the upper hand, then why wouldn’t they just sink all these destroyers with their incredible prowess and infinite capabilities?

iran has aggressed against the israeli's for decades via proxies, israeli's going to strike anyways was apparently the impetus for the americans joining in, so most of this can be traced back to october 7th as the opening shots in a proxy war gone hot again and the israeli's finally deciding to target the backer of said proxies who OK'd the october 7th attacks.

Tell that to master tactician Donald Trump

Iran is blocking the strait f****** all the world economy This is no Ukraine

I agree. The longer this goes on the more likely a ship gets hit and people get hurt. It’s terrifying.😳

Excuse me, they do give a f***! They value their income, their power, their status and their freedom All of which come from being a Trump sycophant

The IRGC just need to stop tankers coming through, not US warships..... unless those US warships can carry 2-3 million barrels of oil through the strait.

Same applies to Iran, especially if their potshots invite reprisals that destroy their launchers. Cant launch a good missile if your launch crew died firing a crappy one.

Democratic? lol, no way our admin wants that. They want a puppet like the Shah
