Strait of Hormuz closed. I don’t know much about it, I’ll admit. So I went to Wikipedia, and zoned out because I think it was edited by the Ayatollah himself, before he died
Makes zero difference. The US doesn't need to be there to hit Kharg Island. My stoned theory is that this a testing ground for primary weapon systems ahead of a war with China. They are using F-35s to hunt down all Iranian MiGs. Also: Spoiler
Yeah. Especially when you consider it's like $4m a missile. I'm just glad we're way the fuck over here watching it, not taking the video.
The first few hours and the flood of "I stand with Iran" posts on Facebook from wildly Anti-Trump people was some of most confusing moments of my adult life. Like, I'ma need you to be more specific on which Iranians. The ones we're trying to kill, or the ones sided with the murdered protesters?
It’s like listening to Courtney Love bitch about junkies. As if that glorified weekend-warrior pussy wouldn’t fuck up tying his own shoes.
The cascading impacts so far are interesting: 1) Oil leaving the Gulf is grinding to a halt, which is 3-4 million bpd output. 2) Ukraine saw the US attacking oil infrastructure as of yesterday, said "fuck it" and hit Novorossiysk hard, which is where a lot of Russian refining is done. This was a previous redline the US (Biden and Trump admins) didn't want them to cross. 3) Last night, Belgium, which is not a power player even in Europe, seized a shadow tanker. A 5% disruption in oil supply = potential energy crisis (outside of North America).
Leopold II has been sitting in the corner, crying, instead of making necklaces from human hands. *That's* how sad you guys have made him.
I fucking hate all of this. https://jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/us-troops-were-told-iran-war-is-for look, I know that this board probably skews atheist, I know posting this is just inviting smears against Christianity, of which I am a part. But…this is just such a fucking incorrect worldview. The entire book pounds it into your head that man cannot control the timeline, and the history of Christianity is man saying “…but I think I can.” And having your military policy be dictated by that? What the fuck. Again, I thought we were against governments doing this, turns out we just wanted to be the only ones doing it.
