Iran

Been saving that one waiting for a chance haven't ya?

He decimated you..oops, I meant annihilated.

 

[BeardedVol]

This has nothing to do with what I said. I said Trump filled it. He did. It was full when Biden took over. Biden then drained it and sold to China. Fact!

He also sold a chunk of it, just like Biden. Both sales of which were mandated by Congress.

Recent legislation mandates additional sales of U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve crude oil - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

I’ve actually seen many use it, and said nothing.

But not you, no way. Busted.

I don't blame you one bit.

That’s what the Arabs thought a couple of times.

In this hypothetical scenario will the US also be deploying crappy, outdated Soviet tech?

 

[BeardedVol]

That’s what the Arabs thought a couple of times.

Lol, because the modern US military is on par with the militaries of Jordan/Syria/Egypt/Lebanon in the 1960s and 1970s.

You guys crack me up with your Israel-worship.

 

[NashVol11]

I asked AI if the US has confirmed if it was their Tomahawk that hit the school like you said which was a lie.

You should read what I "said" again. Conservative Twitter influencers are saying the missile that hit the school wasn't a Tomahawk when our own officials keep referring to it as one. That has nothing to do with whether it's "confirmed" that the missile came from us or someone else although it does strongly suggest it was us

"The mining is not extensive yet, with a few dozen having been laid in recent days, the sources said. But Iran still retains upward of 80% to 90% of its small boats and mine layers, one of the sources said, so its forces could feasibly lay hundreds of mines in the waterway.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which now effectively controls the strait along with Iran’s traditional navy, has the capability to deploy a “gauntlet” of dispersed mine-laying craft, explosive-laden boats and shore-based missile batteries, CNN has reported."

The US Military is now comparable to Arab countries? Wow

 

[Volnanza]

This has been a issue for decades and you have to wonder why in the heck they haven't built a pipeline to get around this problem.

The war is just starting.

Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say

I thought the war was over, Donnie?

 

[MAD]

The Jews? LOL. If I had said that, I'd never shake the allegations.

When did we try to stop Israel in Gaza? I remember giving them military aid for my whole life and no executive ever even threatening to cut it off because of Gaza. Kinda funny to pretend that we "tried to stop them in Gaza" because we temporarily paused one shipment one time to stop one offensive. You're talking about an aspect of our relationship that refutes what you're saying, if you actually have your facts straight. That's the one time we tried to rein them in, they defied us and proceeded with the Rafah offensive, and we continued to give them our tit.

They're literally committing genocide with our support and have us going to war with Iran, but keep telling yourself that we're stopping them from doing anything.

Genocide Libel

The ‘genocide’ accusation is the new blood libel. You are just the latest in a long line to repeat deadly anti-Jewish propaganda.

 

[Vol8188]

This war ain't ending anytime soon. Regardless of the lies that spew from Trump and his babbling goon squad.

We're stuck in a Chinese finger trap of our own making.

Iran will continue to block Hormuz for as long as they choose. Or Trump can put boots on the ground. Either situation is no bueno.

Watch the financial markets whipsaw over the next week or so as this reality sets in.

Hope I'm wrong.

You’re very wrong. Ships are continuing to travel through the strait. There’s been no reported attack in the last two days. The last two attacks were 3-7 and 3-8 by suicide drone with minimal damage and 0 loss of life from either attack.

Iran isn’t what you wish they were

You left out the part where we destroyed 10 Iranian vessels that were attempting to lay mines

Edit: apparently it was ten inactive boats and 16 active

Hey Leftists

Pay attention, a lot of you are a bunch of hypocrites.

 

[Vol8188]

This position is not at all rooted in reality.

Technology wise they’re likely well ahead of Russia, they just lack the insane number of unarmed bodies Russia would throw at us

Leaving this here without comment only rough translation:

Every time I read something about Iran, my first thought is, "I wonder what the psychologist from Married At First Sight thinks about this?"

It's 80% down in traffic.


The flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz ticked higher on Monday despite ongoing threats from Iran, Goldman Sachs said in a note to clients.
The number of oil vessels crossing the strait was at 20% of pre-war levels on Monday, according to a Goldman analysis of ship-tracking data from S&P Global and Kpler. Over the past four days, Goldman estimates tankers carried about about 1.6 million barrels a day through the strait—still far below the average of about 20 million barrels per day before the conflict.

Buddy I know where plastic comes from. Unlike you, I also have an excellent grasp on the laws of economics.

Really.. and who ensures these man made laws or theory is strictly adhered to and cannot be manipulated? Do they answer to the same authority who enforces war crimes? Are they also responsible to ensure man made viruses are not unleashed and vaccines are safe? Perhaps they also have control over media information and you don’t have a clue what is actually happening.

She has degrees in subjects that the people who most often cite her would call "useless" if she weren't a consistent source for their confirmation bias.
