Absolutely not. No more kicking the can down the road. This should be put to bed in 2 weeks tops

Just think of how much money would be wasted if we oblige the 45 day extension. Refueling. Keeping the SOH essentially closed.

With that said, I also understand tempering our aggression as the waiting game could in fact bare fruit.

We’ll see.

They always have to put the cost of something when the US loses an asset. Never seen media do that before this conflict.

Do we have any unfinished bombing to do?

Seems Trump must think we have bombed enough if he was willing to cease fire and negotiate.

Interesting to note:

The United States was producing 13.58 million barrels per day in 2025, about 16% of global crude supply. It was exporting roughly 4 million barrels per day of crude.

Iran shuts the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. April exports jumped to 4.9 million barrels per day, and May is tracking 5.2 million, an all time record. 28 supertankers are booked for May. Normally it is around 5.

Asian buyers that once depended on Hormuz are now turning to U.S. supply.

In some strange way, the Strait of Hormuz being blocked is actually the biggest payday U.S. oil has ever had.

U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers are among the assets executing a blockade mission impacting Iranian ports. The blockade is being enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or leaving coastal areas or ports in Iran. A typical destroyer has a crew of more than 300 Sailors that are highly trained in conducting offensive and defensive maritime operations.

Is a ploy to make a false equivalency with USAID and the fraud in Minnesota, California and the likes

Just looking at the side profile of that Raider it's incredible it can even take flight, let alone do what it's supposedly capable of

It looks like a UFO straight out of a movie or comic

Arm the uprising with suicide drones and all of the guns they could wish for as soon as possible and the IRGC will go into hiding or die.

Something funny I noticed a bit ago.

I personally never knew the difference between DD and DDG (traditional missile destroyer vs guided missile destroyer) so decided to see what the difference actually was and came across the Navy’s page.

Decatur DDG 31 - class
LINK
(converted Forrest Sherman - class destroyers)

Ship's Name Hull Number Homeport / Status
DECATUR DDG 31 decommissioned, sunk as target
JOHN PAUL JONES DDG 32 decommissioned, sunk as target
PARSONS DDG 33 decommissioned, sunk as target
SOMERS DDG 34 decommissioned, sunk as target

Rexcatur having a rough go of it
