This is amusing. I'm sure the world media is casting it as a problem that President Trump must now cope with. On the other hand, not our ship, not our crew, not our business. It looks like a Swiss problem from here. At some point the rest of the world is going to realize that the World Police and Team America don't work for them anymore and they're going to have to come to some sort of arrangement for handling these little problems without referring them to us.
In the meantime, the entire Swiss Navy is headed towards the Gulf right now to kick ass!

America needs to come to the rescue....and then send a bill to the country that we aid. Ya know, like when a mountain climber needs a helicopter to get them out of a jam. That climber gets billed for all of the rescue folks that were mobilized.
While it's true that these acts are "not America's problem" failing to deal with Iran...or others like them...results in them being emboldened and expanding their criminality. The fanatics running Iran are NOT reasonable and aren't afraid of the U or anyone else. They don't fear death either. Kind of makes it difficult to deal with them in any way short of just exterminating them. It's a no win situation for the most part. But then that's been the reality for a long time now.
The entire Swiss Navy--two kayakers in leather shorts, yodelling all the way!

Ha!
Buddy of mine had a bad ski crash that dislocated his shoulder while on holiday in Switzerland. The rescue team said they could take him down in a sled which would take about an hour to get him off the mountain, or they could call a helicopter which would take about 15-minutes. He opted for the helicopter.
Three weeks later he got a bill for 10,000-CHF (Swiss Francs). That's about $12,720 USD and the health insurance company refused to pay it as it wasn't deemed an emergency situation.
As a European, I fully stand behind President Trumps actions. What ever pain and suffering the EU is dealing with they damn well deserve for being fat dumb and happy while the US does all the heavy lifting, and has done, for the past 80-years.
Now we flood our countries with the worse possible "doctors and engineers" and think nothing will come of it. We shut down nuclear power plants and coal mines and think nothing will come of it.
Well, something IS coming of it and it's time these brilliant minds that are running the EU had their backs put up against a wall. Like everywhere, the powers that be won't feel a thing while the rest of of take it in the shorts.
Historically, the solution for pirates is public hanging. I have no issue with that.
