What for? I get that it's in response to the Islamic Guards designation, but still - what for? Seems like empty posturing

I think they're trolling. In reality, it could mean they have a justification to attack / sieze any Canadian ships that stray into the Persian Gulf. But that would be a pretty huge provocation, so it's unlikely.

But the ships aren't with the military, are they?

Sorry, I meant Canadian warships.

Sorry.

They must think we use the geese as attack animals. But they were uncontrollable, and their laser eyes were gonna wreck the single gun.
