    I’m confused. I thought they had 48 hours to reopen the straight, but not really because talks were going well, but still 10 days until the US destroys all the infrastructure, but talks have been productive, and the war is going to be over any day now, but it doesn’t matter because we don’t need the oil, but we could take over the oil fields, but Europe should help us, but we don’t need them and they should do it themselves.

    No country has ever surrendered unconditionally from conventional airstrikes.

    So we’re either going to see boots on the ground (well, they’re in the area), or more tiny hand flailing within that time frame.

      Iran has simultaneously been obliterated within the first 2-3 weeks of the war and will have nuclear weapons in the next 2-3 weeks.

      But you absolutely CAN bomb the news about your pedophile rape gang out of the front pages.

    The situation has no way out. Leaving without opening the strait ruins the Gulf States that own a large part of the American economy that would go to hell. Opening the strait without troops on the ground is impossible, troops on the ground will be a pickle in lives and material as not seen since the Second World War. I think before this is over he will be seriously considering the nuclear option, I hope they can stop him before that

      I hope a clot stops him before then because there’s a much better chance of that than any of the spineless people in government suddenly doing anything about anything.

        It’s not going to happen, but paying him reparations would really be the right thing to do. Recognizing sovereignty over Hormuz no, that would not be fair or good or acceptable to anyone

    Of course. It worked for Vietnam after all the combined ordinance used in WWII was dropped there and its neighbors of Laos and Cambodia. Oh no wait the US still failed spectacularly. Is the US gonna have another forever war just to hide the president’s role in a massive pedophile ring?

          It’s intentional, and no one with the power to stop it will. If you’re an American, I hope you like living in a shack and eating slop while working four dead end gigs. That’s our future.

            I’m honestly just running the clock down at this point. My QoL is still quite good, so I’ll press on for now.

            I’m in my late 40s and saw fit to get sterilized in my 20s. I wasn’t sure when shit would really start deteriorating, but I expected to see it kick off in my lifetime.

    Will this be like how their military has been wiped out? Doesn’t he realise everyone just calls his bluff because he literally never goes through with anything he threatens.
