    Lot of gymnastics here. This is pretty simple: do not move your unarmed warship through international waters so you can arm it and join an active conflict while your aggressor is literally right next to you.

    The Iranian admiral who ordered this ship to sail is an idiot and this ship was fair game.

      Gymnastics my arse. It was an attack on an unarmed ship.

      During a war these grubs can’t justify. Maggots they are.

        An unarmed what? What kind of ship was it? Headed to where? To be armed to with what? To do what?

        The war is not justifiable. But given the context that frigate was done the moment it sailed.

          An unarmed what

          Ship, with human lives on it

          What kind…

          Unarmed. Vulnerable.

          Headed to where

          Home port which still doesn’t justify sinking an unarmed ship

          To be armed…

          To do what

          Then it might be fair game if this war was legitimate but it isn’t. It was only done the moment it sailed because Americans are war criminals and the bad guys.

            I understand this isn’t necessarily hinged on just the legality but it is fair game under the laws of warfare even if the war is an illegal one.
