Could we be looking at apossible US Floating Pier vs. a Hamas acquired Russian/China remote controlled torpedo-drone. Or may be even a Magura V5 clone situation in the coming weeks?

Even a Gulf Of Tonkin II could NOT save Biden's butt now. If anything, it would hasten his departure.

#9 I thought it was a $100 million dollar pier?

It stressed that no U.S. troops entered Gaza proper.

Fuck.

#10 So as long as they are standing on the pier, even the last foot of it on the beach, we are pretending they haven't "entered" Gaza? This is third grade reasoning for the moronic, faithful demokrat base.

Aside from stopping local thieves with small arms hijacking trucks, how exactly will they provide security for the 20 foot wide strip of pier against any kind of RPG, mortar, artillery or drone attack? Not sure they have plans for CIWS or a 5"/38 turret mount on the pier, so essentially they are pop-up targets for Hamas when not acting as stevedores and crossing guards? The infamous Army MOS 1369!

#11 It will, of course, be the IDF's fault if any tangos manage to attack the wharf.
