That is the exact post I was going to make. This whole conflict, like Ukraine/Russia, seems like propaganda, bluffing, and headfakes. It's hard to know what's real.

They have 10s of thousands these aerial and boat drones which are extremely hard to stop. They are similar to the ones that the Ukraine has use to totally halt the Russian navy in the Black Sea

If Russia’s war against Ukraine should have taught us anything, it is that an educated and motivated people can think of new inexpensive ways of fighting for their own survival.

In the American Revolution those scrappy revolutionaries shot from behind trees. Imagine that!

So you think a plan always plays out and no contingencies are made? Most things in life rarely plays out according to a plan they have, the world is full of people that never had a backup plan. War itself is a constant state of reevaluating existing conditions then taking actions. People not aware of the plans doesn’t equate with a valued opinion


I think anyone off the street could have predicted Iran would try to close the straight. Having a plan for that in place from day one isn’t too much of an ask.

We don’t have enough assets in the region to keep them from closing the strait right now. It was a timing issue. We had to start the attacks before internal pressure against the regime subsided. Honestly we should’ve started bombing them in January but the Gulf states AND Israel wanted us to wait until we had more air defense assets in place.

We probably are going to a bunch more navy ships and probably ground troops to open the straits

Not mine in particular but it's definitely stagnating salaries across the board. Entry level people are really screwed.

How about go and find a real job like farming instead of dicking around on a computer all day.
