Once again nothing to justify the Iranians admitting to this.. Videos are totally irrelevant.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
The entire thing doesn't pass the smell test. I feel like I know when I'm being bullshitted, call it a gift.
Kookista alert, but Bolton and his ilk are behind this in some way.
So explain in a REASONABLE (non-kook) manner why, if this was crafted by us (or the Israelis), did the Iranians admit to shooting down the drone in international waters and they boats shown on the film were verified to be Iranian Navy registry and why the arrest of the Norwegian sailors...
Article you linked in op says Iran claims it was over their territory not intl waters.
You're right, Jorge. The kooks cannot explain any part of their position rationally. They have to resort to irrelevant (and likely fabricated) video clips in a vain attempt to divert the question.
The Israelis are cool. They kill ragheads with whatever means possible from bulldozers to bombs. Piss em off enough and they might turn Tehran into a nice glass ashtray.

Ever hear of GPS and accuracy parameters? Also, if it was over their "territory", why (and how) are we sending ships to recover?

Why isn't this a problem for the Japanese and Norwegians to settle?
After the attacks prices are actually down at the pump in my neighborhood so.....
The world (well world media) calls Trump a Nazi- so I hope he plays it tepid until they start asking for us to do something. Make for some interesting tweets.
That and wait until we can all be satisfied it isn't, in any way possible, some shenanigans on our part- or Israelis or whoever etc.... Hell it could be Russians at this point.
Before we talk about sinking a navy of a country whose shore we are just off, it would seem we should let the sanction continue to do there thing.
I am asking.
Am I wrong on any of this?

The Iranian government is getting desperate. They’re playing a very dangerous game trying to get sanctions relief. They’re looking for a way out of sanctions or a physical reason for the Iranian people to continue to tolerate their rule. Desperate people do desperate crazy things.
The Israelis are not to blame for this situation. Jimmy Carter created this situation and now it is coming to a head because we finally have a President committed to solving problems not passing them on to the next President.. Not knowing the options, it is difficult to guess what action might be taken.

1. The Drone was USN property 2. If the oil gets disrupted, prepare to lose your job as it would all but paralyze the economies of the west 3. yes you are.

You posted the article, not me. Wouldn't their territory include out to the 12 mile limit, or wherever int'l waters begin in those parts?
Sanctions are working. Tighten them up more. We can always bomb the chit out of them later. The whole point of drones is that no life is lost. Can't make them a surrogate. The broker they are the better.

Then do Damascus. And carpet bomb the Gaza Strip.

Lotta smart fellas making comments on this here thread. Kooks, not so much. GITM's pretty much got his Four-Legs-Good-Two-Legs-Bad mantra going, but nothing's new there, and TRH's irrelevant videos don't really count. But hey, it's early.
