A very interesting situation indeed.................with The Alwayzs x 4 sitting in the UAE!
The " And don't come back" crap from Tehran is just the response to watching the historical reaction the USN has always had to when things start getting interesting.
(USN is rather like Bruce Lee splitting his trousers before going Ninja, Must have room to move. Yeeeee huh!
)
All the same I am about to raid the rainy day fund and get Mrs + 2 a break back home til the weather gets hot again and everyone mentally cools off!
As to Iran displaying their Naval Power the helo on telly, looked like a 30+ yr old UH-1 supplied by the US to the Shar flopping onto a deck t'other day...............mildly ironic.
Oh Happy New Year all !
