"Secret" ( ) assessments say Iran has operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz. So they've cleared enough rubble from the road to enable them to get to their bombed sites.


I had to chuckle as well NC. Some on this board have access to operational refrigerators in their front yard covered in Kudzu as well.

Some would willingly let a nuke fall on the heads of their children if it made OMB.

Almost certainly. I'm no maritime insurance expert but exclusions (like don't venture into a war zone) are written into every policy. It's no different than your boat insurance having a "named storm" exclusion.

So you know as much as I do then... My point is that the Iranians are the ones that are causing the issue.

NYT


So it is OK to believe the Failing NYT now?

From April 7th:

quote:

President Donald Trump called out the "failing" New York Times for "running on past fumes" during a Monday press conference at the White House.

"Failing, failing!" Trump said. "Circulation way down at the New York Times. What’s going on with that?"

Iran has regained access to most of its missile sites, launchers and underground facilities.


Gaining access does not mean they are operational and that they have any missiles to fire

It's not like there is a gate there that's locked. The reason it's "closed" is that the insurance companies have threatened the ship owners that they won't pay if something happens. The insurance companies and owners have cowered to the threats by Iran, not the US.


Ok, so like I said, it’s closed.

lol the NYT? Have we not learned that every single word they type is a lie. I’m thrilled it means Iran has nothing



It must be amazing to live in a world where you can just dismiss information out of hand if you don't like where it's coming from.

This is what you said:

They're not "cowering to threats", they're executing standard business practices. It doesn't matter if the war is our fault, Iran's fault, nobody's fault, they're not going to underwrite ships going through a war zone.

It’s been 47 years. Who do you think was inclined to negotiate?

or its 100% bullshite. Or even purposely leaked to see who is talking the the press. Or it is true. Since I believe none of them, I guess I have to pick what I wish to be true.

Caused by Iran.

Ok. Point is Iran is causing it. Iran was trying to get a nuclear weapon, which caused the fight in the first place.

No. The United States military has hundreds of unmanned drones that can orbit continuously over enemy turf and pop them off one at a time. We just need a cheaper way to do so is all.

Wasn’t there a thread the other day about Brennan saying they still have people imbedded in the agencies?


DataRepublican has gone into an even deeper dive concerning that...

Soros-linked donors have built a “plug-and-play” network of national security professionals that can be inserted into key government positions almost overnight when Democrats regain the White House. When out of power, the same group forms part of the organized resistance.

This is why the Biden administration often felt like Obama 2.0. Within hours of Biden taking office, veterans from this network filled many of the most important national security roles. Congress confirmed the majority of them with little to no resistance. It wasn’t Obama 2.0, it was the National Security Action network picking up right where it left off, without missing a beat.

@DataRepublican did the deep research. In this series, I will show you why it matters from an operational perspective: how the network functions, what its strengths and weaknesses are, and how it can be countered
