Iran

Unbelievable amount of winning

All he’s accomplished is pushing Iran to the point where they proved that yes, they were capable of pretty much closing off the strait.

And now, they’ll make us pay to use it going forward.

Who's they? You really think they are going to have any kind of power when this is done?

His all because Trump felt like it comment.
What if he was actually listening to his military advisors? That would be some crazy ass stuff right there wouldn’t it?

Drop Site/Ryan Grim is way worse than Al Jazeera and it’s his favorite. He is in good company though, it’s Megyn Kelly’s go to source lately.

EXCLUSIVE: Soros Bankrolling Anti-Israel Drop Site News

The left-wing philanthropy funded by George Soros, Open Society Foundations, gave $250,000 to establish a Middle East desk at Drop Site News, an anti-Israel news startup that touts itself as a "reader-supported" purveyor of "completely independent" journalism.

What is objectionable about Grim's post? Don't be afraid to answer.

Per the Wall Street Journal, Trump disregarded General Caine's warning that Iran would likely close the Strait of Hormuz in response to an American attack:

They would be Iran. They’ve demonstrated they currently have the power to choke off the strait.

What is going to be done to change the calculus?

This gonna be good.

Just as a refresher for the class: You were an ardent supporter of “Butler, PA shooting was staged”, correct?

Now, tell us what really happened to the USS Ford…

Well wise one, your boy donnie said it was hit, will be out 12 to 17 months.

17 months a long time to clean up smoke damage. How much combustible material is the USS Ford built with?

Now tell us how much of the USS FORD burned.

Not my boy, but it’s cute that you would assert as much. As well as predictable.

Source that the Ford was hit by Iran?

I said a week ago that the Ford would be out for a long time. Due to multiple reasons, the fire being but one.

Try not to present as so excited over the Ford burning, and US sailors being injured. It’s unbecoming.

New goal #1 for Trump: Start fighting to unblock the Strait of Hormuz... that was open prior to him starting this fight.

 

[MontyPython]

That's a $700M to $1B loss right there.

This is an interesting article. As an aside, the third paragraph is a notable reminder to wonder why we attacked.

. If anyone speaks up they are harassed and demonized. I have seen it. Universities make so much money from climate garbage. Try and be a professor and say you don’t believe in manmade climate change.
Even the Brits get it. Check out Gorilla Science. You won’t watch long.

Ah yes, the classic “97% agree but they’re all secretly terrified into it” theory — the largest, most coordinated scientific conspiracy in human history… somehow maintained across countries, languages, rival institutions, and decades with zero credible leaks. Impressive.

Also interesting that this alleged intimidation only seems to silence climate scientists, but not the thousands of contrarian voices with books, interviews, YouTube channels, and think tank funding. Must be the world’s least effective censorship campaign.

As for “universities making money from climate garbage”, if you’ve ever seen a research grant, you’d know scientists aren’t exactly swimming in gold coins like Scrooge McDuck. If anything, disagreeing loudly is usually the faster path to attention, funding and media spots.

And “Gorilla Science”? If a YouTube video outweighs decades of peer reviewed research then I guess my next doctor’s visit should just be replaced with a TikTok scroll.

I’ll stick with the evidence-based consensus... but I appreciate the conspiracy pitch... it was entertaining.
