USS Enterprise Scuttling, Rubicon Miniseries Parallels
The hosts speculate that the aging USS Enterprise may be intentionally sunk in the Strait of Hormuz to create a pretext for war, noting it is cheaper than dismantling the nuclear vessel. They compare this potential scenario to the plot of the TV series "Rubicon," which involved sabotaging American vessels for economic gain. Historical precedents like the Gulf of Tonkin and the sinking of the Maine are cited as examples of similar "scams."
