American Thinker: For all the concessions President Obama offered Iran for his “nuclear deal” – $150 billion, for instance – Iran treated the U.S. with contempt, harassing and even taking into custody U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf. The adage that weakness is provocative was proven true (via the Daily Caller):
During the final years of the Obama administration, Iranian gunboats regularly harassed U.S. ships, with three dozen such interactions occurring in 2016. …
The worst incident occurred in January 2016, when the Iranians captured two U.S. Navy riverine patrol boats and 10 sailors.
But that’s nothing but a humiliating memory now that America has a president who won’t stand for it: more here
Finally, America Again !!!
Appeasement never works, just ask Neville Chamberlain how well that worked out for the World. Trump carries a big stick and he knows how to and is not afraid to use it unlike his chicken shit predecessor.
Released transcript from President Trump to the Iranians:
“I just bought my Navy some new miniguns. Beautiful new miniguns. We got them for our Navy ships. They’re very special. Shiny, New, with lots and lots of bullets. Special bullets, made in America. So, when the first boatload full of your goat molesters that floats within a thousand yards of one of our ships is going to give our brave Navy Gunners some target practice”
“It will be something special, I can tell you”
Lazlo, you forgot where he ended it with, “But don’t tell anyone that I told you. “
The Mullah goat fuckers may be religious fanatics, they are not stupid.
One only need remember President Raygun’s inauguration and subsequent release of hostages held for 444 days while feckless Jemmah cowered from a bunny rabbit.
They smelled the fear on Jemmah and they got consent from O’Baja.
Bedwetting libs have been the bane of our nation all of my lifetime. If you need to get your blood pressure up, read the account of the USS Pueblo, January 23, 1968—another day which should live in infamy.
I hope to be around when they commission the USS TRUMP.
Loco: And the MAGA and the beautiful new destroyer: The Ivanka
They must have heard of our big beautiful missiles and big beautiful button—-that actually work.
Can we not start harassing their ships and holding their people hostage? Parade them around on tv.
Get what you give.
I’m just wondering where in the world that much-hyped Iranian naval fleet that was to sail off the US east coast has gotten off to. Lost, no doubt! Oh, and do you know why the new Iranian navy ship’s have glass bottoms? So they can see the OLD Iranian navy!
Not only has Trump made America great again; he’s made America AMERICA again!
America: Mess With Us At Your Own Risk.
My bet is the Iranians have canceled their plans to build a statue to commemorate the capture of the Navy boats & crews during Obumbles administration.

If it was built it (I can’t find anything confirming it has been built) it should be reduced to rubble by the USN.
Joe Squid, do you think that the Iranians would be dumb enough to build a submarine with a screen door on it for ventilation? Or would that be the Norks?
