President Donald Trump has accused Iran of shooting down a United States military helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz, saying that he will respond to the attack.
“I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote in a social media post on Tuesday.
“There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
I know its a distraction but I abhor the way the man speaks.
“I was informed this morning by the joint chiefs of staff that at so and so time in such and such operating theater we lost communication with blahblah asset. All US service members were recovered sagely woth no loss of life. We are committed to peace, but this provocation cannot go unanswered. I am urgently seeking communications with the leadership of the IRGC and am directing our forces in the region to move to a state of enhanced readiness.”
“Army told me a fancy helicopter got shot down, amazing pilots safe but now im mad. I’m gonna bomb them back >:( >:( >:(”
He says “Great Military” as if it’s an official name with capital letters and all. It’s hillarious
