  • Your comment also does several things at once.

    1. Still fails to tell why sinking a warship gets more comment than literally massacring protesters or literally bombing a school.

    2. I was operating under the basic assumption we’re adults who agree war is evil, and people die in wars. War is never fucking “A-OK” as you describe it. 2a. War exists, war is inherently evil, because humans are humans. If you volunteer for war, and then don’t want to participate, surrender yourself to a neutral country.

    3. WOAOWOOWWOWOW a nation didn’t actually do the political process of " I declare war"??? Grow up.

    Throughout the full history of submarine warfare, warning “unarmed” ships they should surrender has resulted in submarines getting blown the fuck out of the water by “unarmed” ships.

    How is this “brutal and shocking”? They could have sailed to a neutral port and surrendered to the neutral nation, as another Iranian ship just did.








  • Did that first, found the article filled with emotion and lacking explanation. Thanks for the coolguy snappy comment instead of explaining that view tho. It’s a warship, not a hospital boat. It’s designed to shoot missiles, shells, and torpedos.

    Submarines haven’t surfaced to ask for surrenders since WW1. They stopped during, because asking for surrenders resulted in getting blown out of the water by ships that “should be” unarmed. If you were captain, would you gamble everyone on board your ship by giving up a submarine’s greatest weapon, stealth, on the assumption a warship belonging to a rules-flouting authoritarian regime is following the rules?

    Best fast food in the nation.

    Get a Butterburger, it’s the iconic entre. Pot Roast sandwich is delicious, but the Butterburger is iconic.

    Get a side of cheese curds, with some honey mustard. You’ll thank me.

    Finish it off with a Concrete Mixer. Butterfinger+Heath is my go-to. Enjoy the frozen custard heaven.

    At your next checkup, lie to your doctor about where you’ve been eating the last few months. It’s so damn delicious.
