Yet people are wondering why this has become an unpopular war. Our soldiers sitting around twiddling their thumbs, constant C17’s everywhere. Refueling for what? Our Air Force isn’t scaring the regime. All they do in response is lob missiles at our allies. Saudi and UAE have got to be fed up with these delays. It’s costing them millions in damage as a result.


How about this?

Our navy guarantees safe passage for any ship wanting to navigate the strait free of any interference from Iran, including tolls.

If Iran launches any missile or drone toward any ship or any gulf state, we identify and anihilate the source.

'anihilate the source ' plus one refinery, one bridge and one power station. Say it publicly and mean what you say.

The issue with Project Freedom is how risk averse these companies have become. Even a ~5% risk of Iran blowing a commercial ship out of the water is not an acceptable risk.

It sure would be nice if Iran had more internet service so we could see the current conditions there.

Wait, so those TiketyToks last week about Iranians filling up for $1 a gallon were propaganda?

Israeli authorities are claiming it was a controlled detonation inside a military manufacturing facility:

The war is unpopular? So is Trump, right? By the same people.

We're not going to do that. Refinery and Bridge Day came and went. Nothing happened. We already burned that card. Can't play it again.

If there was a large meteor heading for the US, Trump's meteor diversion program would be unpopular with those same folks. The democrats would withhold funding for meteor diversion. Judge Boasberg would hand down an injunction against all meteor diversion activities. Tom Friedman at the New York Times would admit that he was rooting for the meteor because he didn't want Trump to get credit for saving the country.
