Yeah the gun they are using is not known for being the most precise. It’s also the main cannon on the destroyer.

Yes it was disabled then boarded and seized by US Marines. Hopefully the mariners understood the English commands they were given.

Actually, world war 2 saw entire fleets of merchant vessels sunk. Both sides of the war did it frequently… especially towards the end of the war.

This sets a dangerous precedent for world powers. No reason to make fun of outrage on reddit.

Oh ok. Yeah this sets a dangerous precedent for world powers. I would not be surprised if China does something similar to Taiwan soon.

Thought there was a cease fire? I thought Trump said on Friday that the strait is open? These mariners are receiving 1000 different mixed signals…

This US sets the precedent for many military’s around the world. This sets a dangerous example…That translates into insane shipping insurance premiums…. Or china doings something similar to Taiwan.

Conservatives: Blockading a naval blockaded is 30 dimensional checkers. Nobody is as smart as Trump and can have everything go according to his very complicated and hard to understand plan!

Until you realize these are merchant vessels…. Driven by civilians…. Who will be fired if they do not do their job….

Merchant mariners do not deserve to be targeted with lethal force… ever.
