They're goading the President, together. They're cooperating.
Hmm is that somehow NOT collusion?
Regardless, I agree with you, CBD. Investigate this, if need be a response (which in no way needs to be "proportional" - I say, hurt the HELL out of them) that doesn't require any troops on the ground.

One option would be to keep any response under the radar, so Iran won't know for sure what happened. I like the idea of keeping them off balance and unable to point to American "provocation" and play the victim card.

Iran has a lot of internal issues, disaffected youth with nothing better to do than act out. Iran's leadership has to focus their attention away from itself, so being jack wagons and doing the Death To America schtick keeps the agitated population distracted.
I think in that part of the world too, image means a lot. If Iran looked weak, they'd lose influence. Playing their games means projecting an image of strength, even if they aren't actually strong.
There's a lot we can do without getting kinetic, but I do wonder if that kinetic response might be the most effective one.
Posted by: WitchDoktor, as if anyone gives a shit at June 20, 2019 11:09 AM (tVWQB)
It can be done and there will be costs - dead men, disrupted trade, expenditure of treasure, etc. - but those costs will re-establish a semblance of order. Unless it all goes pear-shaped and we end up in a regional or global mega-war.
Of course, losing deterrence will often have that outcome, too. See Europe, ca. 1936-1945.
Losing deterrence puts you in a high-risk situation, and we lost deterrence.

Well, the Iranian navy could close the straights of Hormuz, at least temporarily.
_______
The first is absolutely true. We are primarily a naval power, and should act like it. I do not see why we just couldn't sink the Iranian navy - all of it - if they tried that. That's what the Brits would have done under Victoria.
Just because under Bush we decided to go all Wilsonian, that doesn't mean we cannot use military and naval power at all. Just avoid committing to open-ended deployments, especially of troops.
Granted, thanks to the Bush policy, we probably can't even do as much with troops as we should, but that still doesn't mean we can't do anything.

This is correct. The Iranian despots need the USA as an enemy/distraction.
Also, the US Statists need this. Badly. So, they are in sync; the Left and the Mullahs are partners.
It's scary. It's not just that jabrone Kerry either, altho he should certainly swing.

I probably should be more angry over what Iran is attempting to do. Though if I had to pick an option, I say we go for victim status and try not to provoke anything overtly. We've shed enough blood for that region. They'd have to do something big to make me want to do more.
Posted by: G. Gnome at June 20, 2019 11:11 AM (al6UK)
I don't know that the drone was over international territory. Story is 17 miles away from Iran. Iran has a weapon that can take out our drones from that far? That seems bad. But also useful info to have. And also something not all that useful to admit. Punk Iranians can take our $180M tech out of the sky just like that?
The play should have been it malfunctioned and crashed. Even if they HAD shot it down.
Instead seems like people are trying to spin up a confrontation.

I used to notice that on Mission: Impossible. They'd make up country names, but the Soviet clones in the stories always had "People's," "Democratic," or "Republic" in there somewhere.
Even the USSR cared what the international community thought, at least nominally. Do the Moslems even care what we infidels think of them?

Many still doubt they did blow up the tankers, and claim it was a false flag. Could be by the Saudis, but there does seem to be evidence it was Iran, and why are they shooting at our drones ... so we can't see what mischief they are up to?
There was a response to the tankers ... several of their little ships (that had allegedly been carrying missiles or some such) were quickly aflame. And the last I saw those drones are $222M each, how the heck they cost so much is beyond me, after the initial research. But surely there is some local radar data confirming location, to convince the public. We need to find the right target ... tick tock.

I would agree with this if this was the first provocative act Iran has taken and not the 300th. The idea of proportional response does not seem to have the desired effect on Iran.
I'd like to see a more muscular response that says "Try that shit one more time and we will end you and then go have a beer.".

This idea that a Government can be totally divorced from its people is false.
Unless they are from an outside occupying power, they are citizens of said country.
They may not care about the populace, but they are just Men and can be replaced.
Until the Citizens of a country change their Government from INSIDE, there will be no permanent solution.

Iran's Gambit: Force the World to Rein In Trump
She said Tehran had settled on a "two-prong strategy of showing that they, too, can apply pressure by being a pain but also saying, 'We're willing to talk.' "
And because Iran cannot defy American might on its own, it may be hoping to coerce European and Asian nations to rein in the United States.
The result, the experts say, is an Iranian strategy, rational but risky, that increases the likelihood of the nuclear agreement's collapse and even of outright war in the hopes of compelling the world to avert both.

In all seriousness, he should be detained for a lengthy, and for national security reasons, lawyer free interrogation.

Peel his phone and computers.
Then let him go and let him howl and moan about how he was mistreated. Will focus the attention of the other swamp creatures.

It may be rational, but it grossly overestimates the "leverage" that anyone in Europe of Asia has over Trump. If they had "leverage", we'd still be part of that ridiculous Paris Accord.
And also, if this is their strategy, it greatly underestimates the ability of the Trump administration to cause Iran pain. Real pain.

We create and independent Kurdistan out of parts of Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The Kurds provide the men and we give them the equipment.
We don't get into Nation building the Kurds can do that themselves.
We get the benefit of taking out Iran and we get to put Turkey on notice and we create another pro American nation that actually likes us in the middle east.

The Chinese take essentially all the oil from the single refinery. Impacting that would produce a significant disturbance in the Chinese. Maybe worth it, maybe not.
Oil tankers headed to China could be allowed to pass the Gays of H, all other traffic turned back. All headed in also.
Iran has, IIRC and may not be, about a dozen electrical generation/distribution nodes. Impacting those would condemn the general populace to Iraq level black and brown outs for years. Maybe worth it, maybe not.
Iran has several major access points into Astan where a lot of Tango traffic and support flows. Obvious targets. Ditto Syrian border.
Iran has one real problem nuke facility, buried deeply but with only so many surface access points, and a few surface support institutions elsewhere. Bbbbbyby.
Obvious risk: Iran says "I just got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, so fuck it" and unloads on Israel, cause nothing to lose.

Yup, its a distributed system with multiple sensor trucks, which must remain stationary for at least the duration of the flight.
The launch trucks themselves can scoot, but they are worthless without the Radar Trucks and command node.
So, yes, the Airdales would be playing Whack a Mole, if the target was the Anti Air systems.

Smokers no longer would be allowed to puff away near the doors, vents and operable windows of any building - restaurants, shops, offices and housing complexes.
Diners no longer would be able to smoke at outdoor tables. Smoking would be banned from farmers' markets, lines for movie theaters, concerts and sporting events, near ATMs and cab stands. The smoking ban in and near transit stops would be expanded.
So not blanket, but getting close. That effectively eliminates much of the city. Like many major cities, there are vents and air-handlers on big buildings *everywhere.* And how, from the outside, will someone who does not occupy a building necessarily know what windows are operable? Will need to assume that they are. And I am also curious as to what "near" means.
This kind of thing is sadly typical. San Francisco has titanic problems and they go after something that - if it is even a problem at all - is so minor that it doesn't matter.

I also suspect this is how someone like Soros got a large part of their wealth through the market churn caused by events affecting the markets that these speculators brought about. Ukraine for example and the Orange revolution had an effect on the Euro and various Euro bonds. Political instability results in market instability and gives the opportunity for speculators (or hedge funds if you like) to make money if you know in advance something is going to occur as a result of your own actions. If you knew when a political event like that would occur, you could make a tidy sum using options and futures with very little outlay of cash.
Many of the recent economic recessions have been caused by a rise in oil prices. Fracking makes the U.S. not as subject to physical shock but a rise in oil prices would cause a slowdown in the U.S. economy as these are set on the world market. I notice that not one person is calling for actual occupation so a destabilized Iran would keep oil prices elevated for some time.
Given the complexity in who hates whom in the Middle East, it is not a safe assumption to take anything at face value. It is just as possible that some of our Gulf "friends" planted bombs in order to spur to U.S. to fight their real enemies--the non-Arab Persians. It would have a side benefit of raising oil prices while being essentially riskless to them due to U.S. protection.
It is possible that the Iranians could have planted the bombs to raise oil prices. The Russians have also not been averse to aiding events that cause instability as this causes energy prices to rise to their benefit and market share as a "safe" alternative for Europe. The only folks probably not benefiting from this are the Chinese and other customers of Persian Gulf Oil.

It was lethal. Never caught on though. Probably more difficult to maintain the running hot water down the barrel to clean it and drying it all out with patches.

What you say was true in the 1970's and 1980's - BUT - The economic situation with respect to oil has changed dramatically in recent years, and those making these old economic arguments haven't taken that into account.
In the 70's and 80's, the higher prices paid for oil would all be shipped overseas, leading to an immediate and dramatic loss of income for the US Economy. BUT with the US having taken over the position of #1 Oil Producer in the World, today the increased oil revenues in large part would flow to the major oil producing states such as Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and even Pennsylvania. What' more, the excise and production taxes would lead to a huge INCREASE in Tax revenues for those states, putting them into surplus, and the Royalties and excise taxes on our large offshore production would immediately bring about a huge boost in Federal tax revenues.
In short, while higher oil prices would still impact consumer spending, so much of that increase would flow back into the US Economy in other ways that there is likely to be no net economic loss at all. That's one of the huge benefits of boosting your own production that nobody ever talks about, but they should.
It also demonstrates why it would be incredibly foolish for anyone to try to "hurt" the US by engineering high oil prices. It can't work anymore.

Was there a G.I. Joe action figure onboard and now he's being held hostage? Does he have a tiny burlap bag over his head? Did they re-record his talking mechanism so when you pull his string he says, "America is Satan, Allahu Akbar!"?
So now we start wars over busted drones? That's like killing a guy because he broke your iPod.

There's a lot of this in almost all of the "hate America" rhetoric from people here who like to hate on America. Everything in the whole world is because of something we did. Every economy in every nation, every social policy, every war, every dictator.
Somehow it's something that America did, because the idea of anyone else ANYWHERE making their own decisions or choices is impossible, or having easily seen consequences is impossible.
Taking that away, making the whole world and every tribal clansman innocent of anything they do is profoundly racist.
I think that it ends up in that place because these people aren't interested in the rest of the world, they're only interested in domestic politics, so the only thing that CAN matter is whatever the US did.
Sort of how Climate Change only matters where they can claim people are involved. If people aren't involved it can't be used for political capital.

We make like the Iranians just made a mistake. Not escalating not giving the deep state the war they want. They, frustrated we don't take the bait, escalate and give us a legit casus belli against Iran, hoping we will kill the Mullahs and thereby eliminate the main prosecution witnesses against the deep state. We don't. We make a deal with the Mullah's to testify against Obama and friends in exchange for not turning them all in to confetti.
