Yeah sure if that's the case why are they begging for a deal? They're about to take a seat at the same table as the people who literally murdered the holiest, most important person in their country. If that's not desperation I don't know what is.
>>533603241>This is seriously embarrassing for the USN assuming they aren't being held back by the white house for fear of spiking oil pricesThat's definitely what's happening. Probably a ton of diplomatic pressure from Iran's customers right now.It's impossible to miss a bigass cargo ship in the ocean.
>>533603241>>533603432Possibly. Equally possible is that Trump declared the blockade without sufficient vessels in theater to enforce it completely without firing on everything that moves.
>>533603277lol lmfao even
>>533603690I'm presuming that they would fire on anything that moves to enforce the blockade anyway. It's a necessity for any kind of real blockade with current USN surface unit numbers.The idea being that you sink ten vessels in a day and then the rest fuck off back to where they came from. The white house is almost certainly telling ship captains NOT to do that.
