re: We’re bombing Iran again! Let’s GO BABY!

Shut the pumps down. Stop letting the oil be loaded. Simple. Turn the valves off.

Kharg Island only holds about 25% of Iran's oil storage and it's current capacity is close to full. What does doing that accomplish that a blockade doesn't?

Blockade isn’t owning the island.

What are we even talking about? You said "cut off the oil, kill the snake."

We ALREADY cut off the oil via the blockade and did not kill the snake.

Taking Kharg Island and maintaining it would be incredibly costly in terms of US assets, money, and lives AT BEST, and we would gain no obvious strategic advantage that we wouldn't already have from the blockade.

Cut the oil, like killing a snake.

The US blockaded the oil for almost 2 months. Taking Kharg Island would be a boon for Iran because it would give them the easiest target to strike. Capturing Kharg Island does not give the US much in terms of strategic advantage that blockading the Straight hasn't already garnered, but it comes at a very high cost.

Also, the island is inhabited with tens of thousands of Iranians.

You didn't have to be aware of it to recognize the obvious sarcasm in the tweet. He laid it on thick and then made it even thicker with the last sentence. You are just incredibly stupid.

Yes. His tweet is an incredibly obvious sarcastic tweet in response to a tweet Scott Jennings put out earlier.

It is amazing that this needs to be explained to you.

This board needs a minimum IQ threshold to start threads.

How on earth can you read this and not immediately recognize this as a sarcastic joke tweet?

Call him out for mocking someone in poor taste, that would be a legitimate criticism rather than retardedly misunderstanding this and claiming he is lying

Eventually it will become clear that Iran, not the US, is dictating these terms - an embarrassment for sure, but continuing to relive this is just as embarrassing

Legally? Certainly not. Could it be described as treasonous? Sure

We can not talk politics at all.

Help me understand where our masculinity has gone. You can't talk to your wife about a topic?

Is Lebanon a state controlled by Iran like the poster I responded to stated?

Is Yemen?

And like SFP instead of addressing the fact that he is in here spewing lies, he is going to deflect.

Dude makes posts accusing other people of not understanding anything about the region and then posts outright falsehoods about the region he seems to champion himself an expert of.

I'm not the one deflecting

Yes. When a party holds seats within parliament and enough so to enact a defacto veto over government matters, they are an official member of that government.

For someone who likes to talk to others as if they don't know the region or what they're talking about, you're wrong like every frickin time you post something.

Do you care to actually address what I'm saying or are you just going to poorly nitpick?

Your point is like saying the America is captured by China because there are Democrats Socialists of America members in the House of Representatives.

The Presidency is operated by the Maronite Christians (anti-Iran and Hezbollah)

The Prime Minister is operated by Sunni Muslims (very anti-Iran and very anti-Hezbollah)

The Parliamentary Speaker is a Shiite who is at best sympathetic to Hezbollah and at worst a mouth piece, although not an official member of Hezbollah.

Therefore, Hezbollah does not have control of the state as 2/3s of the power structures in Lebanon do not like them.

This is patently false. I swear this clown is a frickin Hezbollah affiliated stooge. Hezbollah holds defacto veto power within the Lebanese parliament.

Do you know what "official" means? Besides, your point does not counter what I was saying at all. Lebanon is not a captured state that serves Iran - a majority of the population, and political power in Lebanon, is not pro-Iranian in any way.
