    Protocol followed and peacefully and expediantly resolved without a hassle. I'd say demonstrates significant progress in relations.

    As to a protagonists military responding in the way the all militaries are wont to do - targeting "enemy" war machines in the neighborhood, gee them Eyeranians sure are aggressive.

    dude, settle down. It's highly unlikely that there's going to be a draft. Well, unless another democrat gets in office, since they have a well established track record of getting involved in international conflicts, and starting drafts. Better hope Mrs. Neocon lite Hillary doesn't get in office, or you just might have to consider carrying your empty threat out.:rolleyes:

    Yeah, instead we good elect the mindlessly aggressive Trump and end up in wars in the Middle East, Mexico, and China. Big improvement.

    Nice deflection. We're already have been in wars in the Middle East, with Bush an Obama.
    Mexico, really dude?:rolleyes:
    Last time I checked we're already butting heads with China, in the Pacific.

    But do continue, your denial is humorous.

    Have you not been following anything regarding the idiotic arming of Syrian "rebels"?

    Iran is a theocracy, run by religious zealots. It's an unstable country and regime.

    It's scary that they'll have nukes soon.

    Hilarious to read this quite from a person whose army has illegally invaded Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Syria etc.

    Bro, you've been under a rock? If Obama were white or his name "Bush", Democrats would be pushing for his impeachment.

    To get the deal done, Washington had to waive provisions against doing precisely this. The kind of hypocrisy that comes from Washington.

    Obama/Clinton are directly responsible for ISIS. All of the bloodshed happened there because they failed/didn't want to negotiate. They just wanted 'Assad Gone', even the French deposed of our position and agreed lately with the idea that, for now the only way progress can be made is with Assad.

    Given that I am from Turkey, I know more about the mideast than you by about 10,000 times. That said, there are thousands of anti-assad groups, and not all or most are ISIS or jihadists beheading people. The SAA defectors are primarily comprised of moderate sunnis who were fed up with being oppressed by the 50-year assad family dynasty, not lunatic jihadists from Iraq or Afghanistan.

    The dogs putin and assad want you to believe that the only people standing against assad are ISIS jihadists, but it is absolute garbage.

    People have very short memories; the arab spring that roiled libya, morocco and egypt was coming to syria with a vengeance - there was no way that a country 85% sunni was going to tolerate being oppressed, robbed, beaten, tortured, murdered and witnessing their daughters raped by regime thugs for another 50 years. The 50-year assad family dynasty was going to be destroyed eventually, it had no legitimacy or foundation on which to stand on.

    Second, it was actually iran who was responsible for the formation of ISIS, as it did not even exist until their poodle maliki in iraq began marginalizing the iraqi sunni population, forcing them out of government positions and oppressing them. Did you ever see news articles with ISIS mentioned before 2011/2012?

    Obama the turd allowed ISIS to grow like a virus in iraq, taking no action while it overran the poorly-trained iraqi army, who initially saw ISIS as committed sunnis to help fight back against the shia oppressors in iraq and syria (alawites).

    1) When did the US invade syria?

    2) iirc, there were how many UN resolutions violated by saddam? 17, I believe.

    3) who invaded afghanistan in 1980? It wasn't the portugese....at least the US had a legitimate reason to do so, namely that the taliban refused to give up al qaeda.

    4) who sent agents and troops into viet nam to turn the country communist?

    Learn some history, kid.

    Iran may be crazy but they are not stupid. They know they'd come out on the losing side since we'd most likely incinerate them with a nuke if we had to make an example out of them.

    Because, dude, they didn't know they were there due to malfunctioning navigational equipment as even the Iranians admitted after releasing them.

    By the way Iranian anti shipping missle vs US SM-3's equal a lot of scrap metal on the bottom of the ocean no where near the US fleet and Iranian missile sites shot to hell.

    Hmm..., although they know how to shame America to the world with their provocations. You know a week ago they fired rockets 1,500 yards off the bow of the USS Truman, this week the very day of the SOTU they board two US boats in the Gulf and capture 10 Americans. Sure they released them, but they still hold five Americans hostage. What will the next provocative against America be? They become more brazen as the weeks go by....

    1) Prompt approach of IGIL and capture by terrorists of considerable territories of Syria and Iraq in the summer of 2014 became an occasion to start military intervention of the USA and her allies who since September, 2014 strike airstrikes to positions of Islamists in Syria without the permission of the Syrian governments.https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Гражданская_война_в_Сирии#.D0.9C.D0.B5.D0.B6.D0.B4.D1.83.D0.BD.D0.B0.D1.80.D0.BE.D0.B4.D0.BD.D0.B0.D1.8F_.D1.80.D0.B5.D0.B0.D0.BA.D1.86.D0.B8.D1.8F

    2) President Bush and his top aides publicly made 935 false statements:omg: about the security risk posed by Iraq in the two years following September 11, 2001, according to a study released Tuesday by two nonprofit journalism groups.http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/23/bush.iraq/

    well-known a photo at which the whole world laughs now

    3) The USSR motivated the actions with that the Soviet military contingent was entered at the request of the government of Afghanistan...

    The US entered troops into Afghanistan, Russia didn't object... it was and in interests of Russia...

    4) No matter who sent agents, Soviet sent - the own, the USA -the own, but the USA waged full-scale war, intruded in others country - to Vietnam. Not USSR.

    Americans constantly say to all that they have the most super-puper technologies, electronics, navigation devices, satellites etc. but in navigation equipment there was a failure! It is tragedy. Half of officials need to be dismissed?

    You say the boat was in international waters, but even US officials admit that the boat was in Iranian waters. According to the sailor you are speaking of, the boat drifted into Iranian waters as a result of engine troubles. Now it could be he was putting on this explanation/apology simply to resolve the issue, but I think what is most important is our sailors are home safe

    Do you know what entropy is? Everything eventually wears out. Things break this is unavoidable. More likely somebody punched the wrong button or didn't properly reset it.

    This is just a show like body builders flexing their muscles at a competition. But both Iran and North Korea know that if they attack and start a war, they will cease to exist. They don't mind sending a few terrorists with suicide fests, but they don't want to commit genocide on their whole country. Those Ayatollahs live a pretty cushy life, like the Pope. They don't want to throw that all away.

    They're like the politicians here, who don't mind sending minions to die for their cushy existence.

    Boat(s) are not ships, I guess you made the same mistake others do frequently. When I referred to ships, I was writing about the launch of missiles 1,500 yards off the bow of the USS Truman and that freighter that was shown in those images of the missile launch. BTW Iran didn't threaten those two boats. They boarded them and captured the crews. There was no threat it was actionable.
