It’s true. Iran’s territory is 4x the size of Iraq and the land next to the Hormuz is very mountainous with endless caves to store weapons that can attack tankers (prepared ahead of time over decades as a deterrent because this was always Iran’s end game if someone was stupid enough to attack). It would require troops on the ground to control this and even then it’ll be a long war.

Would take too long. The world, and the US, can’t really afford a long drawn out war.

Don’t know the solution, but I do know that. Everything would be unaffordable. Gas, food, medicine, and not just for us, for everyone.

About the video of the burning ship, from grok:

No, the video in the post is not from any recent Iranian attack on oil tankers. It appears to be footage from a June 2025 collision between two ships off the UAE coast in the Gulf of Oman, where the tanker Adalynn caught fire after a navigational error. This footage has been circulating and misattributed to recent events in the Strait of Hormuz.

facebook.com +1

While there have been confirmed reports of Iranian attacks on vessels near the Strait of Hormuz on March 11, 2026, including three ships struck by projectiles, the video does not depict those incidents.

Ted Cruz definitely mind fricked Tucker

Tucker hasn't been the same since that interview. And it was a stupid interview where Tucker just tried to get a gotcha comment on him the entire time. If he was hunting for AIPAC, they all get paid from AIPAC, why single him out?

And it continued all through this Iran conflict. Tucker is coming out with anti Iran conflict talking points every day even though we are wiping them out.

He's become a halfway sane Candace Owens.

All Iran and it's proxies have to do is melt a few tankers..

The rest will be lucky to find crews after that carnage is posted on social media

Asinine regardless but we will only hear about the latter


Up until the Nixon administration the office of management and budget, well they did what the title states.....they controlled the budget. Congress approved the spending but OMB controlled how it was spent. That changed under Nixon.

As he was fighting for his political life congress does what congress does, they looted the dying man. They got a bill passed that said anything approved by congress in a budget MUST be spent.

Russ Vought is in charge of OMB as he was under Trump's first term. A very conservative, budget conscious person. In his approval process before congress he did not get one dem vote in either term, and a shouting match with schumer over the aforementioned ludicrous process.

Its just one more example of congress doing what is best for them and not their constituents or the country as a whole.

It’s a tricky situation. I think our tactical and short term strategic military planning has shown a good plan and an ability to adapt and smartly apply our advantages.

I can only hope those same qualities apply to the whole plan for accomplishing the regime change.

While arming Kurds sounds great in theory you then have armed a group desperate for their own nation. There are certainly other ways to proceed but you definitely want to avoid a Syrian style civil war that rages for a decade.

If it's true that we are printing the money to pay for what we've already done - and it is - then we already aren't 'affording' the war.

Israel attacked oil infrastructure first, and now the Gulf States will lose their facilities for years from retaliatory attacks.

Oil will be $200+ in another week.

Just quoting this so we don’t lose this bold, well informed prediction.
