The Soviets were completely cool with it to. The Iran-Iraq war was one of the few where the Soviets and U.S were in agreement. Plus both had decent relations by this point. - eviltoast

    Dude even just hearing these radio messages from the safety of my office is chilling.

    “This is your warning. You have five minutes to clear the platform before we commence firing.”

    “I am going to sink you in five minutes.”

    Just think about you’re at your work day and someone sends you some shit like that.

      One dude started firing I think a 20mm machine gun at an American ship, the American ship immediately deleted him with a 5 inch shell.
