Trump Boxed In By Iran; His Fleet Move Makes It Worse

Trump wanted Iran boxed in, but his fleet move now looks like failed intimidation turning into exposed escalation. Right, so the tangerine toddler Donald Trump has sent the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group into the Iran crisis now with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard, so are we looking at that land invasion of Iran happening yet after all? The stalemate of his blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is not seeking Iran budge, just price rises across the entire world, so has his desperation peaked or has he just forgotten to call them back again, frankly I could believe either. USS Boxer, USS Portland and USS Comstock are not just grey floating props for another White House muscle flex for Iran to laugh at. They are amphibious ships carrying Marines, aircraft, landing craft, command staff and the gear you move when you want the option of putting people ashore basically, so what would they be for really? The Boxer is currently in the Sulu Sea having left Guam in the last few days, so we haven’t got US Marines off the Iranian coast quite yet, but they are en route. Trump wanted Iran frightened from a distance, Iran has not given him the submission he wanted, so now the gears have been stepped up again all at US public expense of course, adding yet another expensive ways to make his Middle East mess even bigger, now with added landing ships. It’s not like the US hasn’t already been making a total pigs ear of their blockade enough already of course. The USS Spruance intercepted the Iranian-flagged cargo vessel M/V Touska in the north Arabian Sea while it was moving at 17 knots towards Bandar Abbas, issued repeated warnings, waited through a six-hour refusal, ordered the engine room cleared, then fired several rounds from a five-inch gun into the engine room to disable the ship.
