US Begins "Big Stick" Negotiations With Iran: Sends The "Big Ships" Into The Persian Gulf
Following its "visual to the world" message last night by test-firing an ICBM, America appears to shifting to 'big stick' diplomacy. Following Iran's naval drills last week (attacking a replica US aircraft carrier), Sputnik News reports that as the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 nations come to a head, the US begins Eagle Resolve, a massive military exercise in the Persian Gulf. Eagle Resolve will involve tactical exercises from the US Army, Marines, and various other military branches "with simulated portions of the exercise based on a fictional adversary." Careful to ensure Obama does not lose his Nobel Peace Prize, a CENTCOM official explained, "the exercise is not intended as a signal to Iran."
With the support of regional allies, the US moved nearly 3,000 military personnel, as well as "air, land, sea, and special operations components," into the gulf. Taking place just off the coast of Kuwait, the exercise will continue through the end of the month, and is meant to improve the military’s response time should an incident occur in the region.
"Eagle Resolve 2015 will consist of a week-long series of simulated 'injects' to exercise participants' ability to respond as a multinational headquarters staff, followed by a series of tactical demonstrations of land, maritime, and air forces from several nations," reads a fact sheet provided to the Washington Free Beacon by US Central Command. "The exercise ends with a senior leader seminar to foster an environment for commanders to discuss issues of regional interest."
Eagle Resolve will involve tactical exercises from the US Army, Marines, and various other military branches to test readiness in air defense, border security, counterterrorism, as well as "consequence management." These include amphibious landing exercises and ship-based search and seizure operations.
Officials insist that the exercise has been in the planning stages for the last 14 months, and has nothing to do with the Iranian nuclear negotiations.
"The exercise is not intended as a signal to Iran," a CENTCOM official said, according to the Free Beacon. "If there’s any message at all, it’s that all participants have a common interest in regional security."
"It’s important to point out that this is a recurring exercise, with planning for this year’s exercise beginning over a year ago," the official added. "The focus of the exercise is on bolstering capabilities useful in a wide range of scenarios to help preserve and bolster regional security, with simulated portions of the exercise based on a fictional adversary."
Still, it’s hard to ignore which nation that “fictional adversary” may be in reference to. On Saturday, former CIA Director General David Petraeus called Iran the greatest long-term threat to stability in the region.

PS- You're welcome. You can google stuff too, ya know.
Everyone keeps saying how easy of targets these and other ships are. I do not understand that.
Maybe that is because I do not believe Russia will engage the US/NATO/Israel period. They did not over Iraq, Libya or Syria.
Now if it is that easy for the nations in the middle east to sink these ships why did they not do so? Iraq destroyed - no ship sunk. Libya destroyed - no ship sunk. Syria largely destroyed and continuing - no ship sunk.
Because the foretold time isn't here yet, but it's getting closer with each day.
Iran will be the one to make the move, with its allies close behind.

Eagle Resolve? Who tf thinks up these Superhero Comic Book names?
I guess "It's Gonna Be Raining Fiery Matzoh Balls", although closer to the truth, doesn't arouse that patriotic fervor in the goyim.. who are gonna do the dyin'.
Sounds inclusive.
The commies will like it.
Iran has three Russian built Kilo class subs in the Gulf and their own home-grown subs. These should be more than enough to match the US presence.
Plus they claim to have a new toy, which apparently disables stuff without firing a shot.
"...The greatest long term threat to stability in the region."
Stable use of a dying currency perhaps...?

Our boats are off the wrong fuckin' coast.
I come from the only sane country in this volatilie region.Last week after 2 decades of frozen relationships with Iran ,King Abdulla the second sends his deputy prime minister to Iran with a written hand letter from the king.a week before the visit the Jordanian army noticed exsessive movement of Iranian revolutionary Gaurd troops ,Pakistani and afganin militia near jordan's northern boarder, areas called Ramtha&Mafraq,a new iranian embassy was also set up in Jordan few month's back.
looks like this US drill is related somehow to planning an attack on ISIS/ISIL.
Floating false-flag targets.
The banksters need to repay us.
I wonder if the sailors on board know how they are REALLY being used?
Presuming that 'Eagle Resolve' is a real exercise, and not a psyop, perhaps it is a BARCAP to protect Iran from attack by Saudi, Jordan and Israel?
American weapons are manufactured for profit and NOT for efficiency or effectiveness. You might say the MIC is gnawing on its own ass....
Profit is maximized when they are destroyed,
or better yet:"fall into the hands of the enemy",
which kills two birds with one stone..weapons are gone,
and used to destroy the remaining ones.
The BBC and 9/11. What was going on with the news organizations? I was in the Atlanta CNN newsroom shortly after the first plane hit and was standing a couple of feet from Ted Turner; I thought that rather odd that he would be there at that exact time...
Eretz Israel

A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties(February 1982)"Iraq, rich in oil on the one hand and internally torn on the other, is guaranteed as a candidate for Israel's targets. Its dissolution is even more important for us than that of Syria. Iraq is stronger than Syria. In the short run it is Iraqi power which constitutes the greatest threat to Israel. An Iraqi-Iranian war will tear Iraq apart and cause its downfall at home even before it is able to organize a struggle on a wide front against us. Every kind of inter-Arab confrontation will assist us in the short run and will shorten the way to the more important aim of breaking up Iraq into denominations as in Syria and in Lebanon. In Iraq, a division into provinces along ethnic/religious lines as in Syria during Ottoman times is possible. So, three (or more) states will exist around the three major cities: Basra, Baghdad and Mosul, and Shi'ite areas in the south will separate from the Sunni and Kurdish north. It is possible that the present Iranian-Iraqi confrontation will deepen this polarization."

sad how the cartoonists give us **** now. Like the darker truth that really no one wants to see fat fratellis succeed, like me posting without reprocussions, like the rest of the world being poor all this time and Americans still think their global news networks reporting everything in greenbacks is Christian. haha, and you honestly think the upper class will want to give their wedge of pie for more **** from the news, please. The real demand is that narco-feudalism take the world like a dark curtain, with the upper class screwing everyone else's children. Or not exactly, but they could do worse if they wanted.
Sending in the"Big Ships" for Iranian sitting duck target practice???
