While everyone is up in arms about the Poosy Paradise of Ukraine's strife, the Iranians are sneaking up on us;

We need to be vigilant lest these fuckers sneak in our back door...

Awesome article! And the entire website is full of tasteful articles making fun of Iran's delusional claims! I especially loved the "Zionist sharks" one

Quote:

“The Iranian Army’s naval fleets have already started their voyage towards the Atlantic Ocean via the waters near South Africa,”declared Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad, commander of Iran’s Northern Navy Fleet, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.

Two fucking boats... A 40+ year old destroyer and a supply ship.

lolzzzz

The grandiose boasts of these clowns is always good for comic relief.

Those rickety boats won't even be able to get here.

It is like 6,000 miles from Iran to the East Coast.

Iran....so entertaining! Bring it on captn nasty

[kerouac]

I'm curious why they would be doing this...

Is Russia up to something?

One sub can easily take down their whole "fleet"

Aren't they going to Venezuela? Maybe Cuba? That will be good liberty for all those young virginal sailors if they get off the leash.

Seems like something mosty for the benefit of their own internal political considerations. When people start to make demands of governments, governments start saber-wrattling. Something to keep in mind on the Ukrainse threads.

You are right. It is mostly for domestic consumption and a "see how you like it" kind of point because we keep a whole fleet parked of their coast in Bahrain. Propaganda like when the US sent the "white fleet" to Japan just way less intimidating.

They've announced they were going to do this two or three times before but never followed through. So maybe they've figured it out this time.

Oh please, let them come, and please don't stop them at sea. My friends and I need some target practice, and I'm getting bored of shooting paper and steel.

As a side note, this is why I view these America-gets-invaded movies (e.g., Red Dawn) as ridiculous. We are the LAST country on earth any foreign power would try to occupy, and it's not because of our standing army.

Indeed. Ironically, that's why most movies feature USA being invaded by aliens, as that's the only remotely realistic possibility for an occupation there.

That's why Japan didn't want to attack/invade our mainland in WW2. They feared that behind behind every blade of grass was an American with a gun.
