A new “dumbest take” on my list of dumbest conclusions on this board

Congrats you’re the leader in the clubhouse and it’s not close at this point.

You think there’s a scenario where Iran can obtain a nuclear weapon and it will not “impact” the US ?

step 1. Block all traffic, affects only the Iran toll scheme

step 2. Clear the main channel of mines

step 3. Allow all nations to traffic through the straight using large lanes



I am sure the US military has a good idea of where mines might be, the multiple passes of the two destroyer proved routes that are clear, GPS mapped down to +- 5 feet, enough eyes on the water to locate a rubber duck trying to f-ck around.

Risk of drone attack is possible but with air/sea superiority drones be shot down, launchers be turned to sand. Ancillary retribution be massive. Fast learing curve.

Saudi pipeline has already resumed 7mgd pumping.

Price of crude dropping tomorrow as per the plan.

Side note: I really like that Black Artemis astronaut. He is Christian and all heart to his core. He is a leader for our time.

He’s also a Naval Aviator and test pilot with over 3000 hours in hornets. His call sign is IKE. (I know everything.) I read up on him before the flight. Some legit dudes on this mission.

Back to the topic, whoever said that bullshite about the jihadists using nukes for MAD, frick off. How naive do you have to be to believe that shite?

So he went from trying to open the strait to blocking it himself? You can't make this shite up
We are cutting off their money. They were still selling oil , now that cannot unless we let the ships pass. We just took away their only Trump card.

How long will you go to work "on principle"if you were not being paid?

Remember all the "that will lead to WW3" people re: Ukraine?

I wonder how they're going to take this actual escalation into WW3.

When is the official start time for WW3, would you say?

After The Masters has concluded I hope.

Note: I didn't think Ukraine would lead to WW3, nor the bombing or Iran last year, and I doubt this does, either...It's about the hypocrisy from "panicans" (re: Ukraine)

Obviously if you support this war, which hinges on the fiction that Iran is close to a nuclear weapon that can impact the US, it's you that are afraid of Iran


Well I'm definitely afraid of a nuclear Iran because those crazy bastards would use it. Their missiles had a range to reach most of Europe and you know they would get in a nuclear exchange with Israel. They proved they don't care if they die in the last negotiation we had with them.

But, right now they have almost no offensive or defensive capability.

So we shouldn’t get involved because Iran could obtain a nuclear weapon tomorrow but they won’t be able to reach the US with that nuclear weapon the same day? That’s your position ?

Apparently until they have a missile that can reach the US we shouldn’t get concerned or involved…….

When one drops in our lap then we should start to deal with Iran.

Until then this is all just “fiction” as I now understand it.
