GO the doom.

Looks like all the prophecies and visions are FINALLY coming true.

BOUT time too.

Its been such a DOOMLESS YEAR so far generally speaking.

The structural changes and the electronic part of the Ponce were carried out with extreme rapidity and mid-June, the ship sailed toward its operational area in the Persian Gulf where it will presumably sometime tomorrow.

From USS Ponce, will start raiding teams are more numerous and better equipped in comparison to what is not possible to leave for a mission from a submarine, which was until now the only means of infiltration by sea for the commandos.

But Ponce could have a crucial role even in the case of a major war with Iran.

Our analysts assess the fact that Ponce could serve as the command center, control and coordination in the case where the command structures placed on land were damaged in a massive Iranian missile attack.

The Ponce could play the coordinating role of the forces field, indispensable role in a conflict that could not only be limited to the naval component, but understanding the Marine amphibious operations such as on the islands of the Strait of Hormuz, first of all the strategic island of Abu Musa.

fools. Let our young men and women come home. American has had enough dying for these senseless unwinable banker wars. look a the suicide rates in the armed forces. enough already, our own country is falling apart and broke. this will not end well.

In the wake of Iran's refusal to rein in its contentious nuclear program at talks in Moscow, the U.S. military buildup in the Persian Gulf is gathering pace, with four more Navy mine countermeasures ships arriving at the weekend.

The Avenger class vessels out of San Diego will join eight U.S. and British navy mine hunters deployed in the region.

Their main mission will be to keep open the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the only way in and out of the gulf, if the Iranians carry through on a threat to close the vital energy artery through which one-fifth of the world's oil supplies pass every day.

Iran is reported to have in excess of 2,000 sea mines, including advanced Russian weapons, that could be used to block the narrow, 112-mile strait.

These could be used in conjunction with Chinese-designed anti-ship missiles and swarm attacks by fleets of armed speedboats manned by naval forces of the elite Revolutionary Guards Corps.

Hey DB

Love your work, but why do you post the same info in different threads everyday?

Just wondering

New developments

I haven't seen this info and I'm sure many others haven't either.

It looks like there's no turning back now.

Not saying the title isn't new news, just some of the posts have been used before in DB's threads, do understand its to keep the timeline up to date, DB, what is your day job?

I hope you are right but I'm afraid you're not.

Looks like it's time to do some last minute shopping for supplies while we can still afford them.

DB does a good job of keeping us up to date on what's happening, much better than other news sources for me anyway. This one has me especially worried though because I think this time something bad is going to happen and blow back on us.

Much thanks!!

Urban Dictionary:

PONCE

Term originated in the UK and came to prominence in the 1960's, initially to describe a pimp. In Spanish it means "prince" and could have either been referring to the fancy, over-the-top clothing and jewelry popular with pimps, or because he was surrounded by a harem of women, involved in the underworld, but usually not the actual "king" of the area (he had to pay tribute to use the block or neighborhood).

Now it is generally used to refer to someone (usually a male) who dresses in nicer clothing and acts in a polished fashion; often interchangable with fag or pussy, but not necessarily as derogatory: a ponce is not necessarily homosexual, nor are they necessarily passive or weak, but they would tend to be thought of as metrosexual or gay in their manner of dress.



Strange choice of name for a ship made from 9/11 wreckage?

MO.

Three ducks to be sunk by the Iranian attack helicopters armed with anti-ship missiles...

Sorry... my bad DoorBert.

And, the USS PONCE is the floating special ops base.

Still a strange name for a special ops base.

I hear rumors they're going to stuff you inside one of those.

They'd like you to volunteer, but they're prepared to just come and get you.
