This isnβt patriotism. Itβs adults using kids to normalize weapons of war in open defiance of a law Virginians fought for.

Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is not closed to the world, only to the U.S., Israel and their allies. Iranβs foreign minister claims global shipping can still pass through.
Good luck.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has submitted a request to Ukraine to hold talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ynet has learned. The Israeli request comes against the backdrop of Ukraine's extensive experience in intercepting Iranian-made drones, with the intention of establishing Israeli-Ukrainian cooperation on the matter. Ukraine's Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk confirmed that such a request was submitted, noting that due to scheduling constraints the call has not yet taken place and that he hopes it will occur early next week.

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iranβs attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iranβs Military capability, but itβs easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries β including China β to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe.
A galactic humiliation.

Glad to see a bipartisan effort to roll back the surveillance state & force the FBI to get a warrant to read Americansβ messages. (1/2)
