real alpha male stuff here
Is it war?

I really just do not understand how this could be possible

like, the IRGC owns binoculars. they can see a ship the size of the empire state building crossing the strait. turning the transponder off isn't an invisibility cloak

the war is over and thats why we have no choice but to escalate, also we have accomplished all our goals but if we havent iran better watch out but also its basically over
anyways, wti <$85 because nothing really mattress
there's a slight of hand among the US right, pointing out iran isn't interdicting every ship going through the strait (indeed, 1-2 do run the ship every day), ergo strait open.
iran never could, but they also don't have to. as long as iran can credibly hit a tanker, insurance rates keep it closed.
...and less than an hour after that, the Israeli military: war is "far from over"
The war that is not a war that is just getting started and might last until September is pretty much done and we’re also going to seize a strait we don’t control and maybe kill more leaders if we don’t like them
why, you could even say the mission was accomplished
can't attack a ship if there are none in the strait [with insurance >1% per hull $ /wk it's generally not economical to sail]
I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power
Iran’s selection of Mojtaba Khamenei, a powerful regime insider, to succeed his father as supreme leader cements hard-line theocratic rule and sends a strong message of defiance against President Trump.
With Mojtaba's ascension it's worth reminding everyone that one of the motivations for a deal with Iran circa 2008ish was to boost Iran's reformists by undermining the hardliner argument that the U.S. was committed to the regime's destruction. It worked for awhile.

With oil at $110, I’d guess the equity markets give up another 3-5% over the next few days.
And then Trump TACOs.
The result? The war will have succeeded in clearing out the Iranian gerontocracy for a new generation of younger extremist Mullahs.

they're deescalating any minute now
as I've said for a while now, the entire plan and theory of victory is, 100% accurately, described as "I dunno bomb stuff I guess"
near perfect tactical execution all things considered, operationally incoherent, and strategically vacant, that's the DoD/USG promise
Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living
Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…
Understandably, Qatari PM/FM tells Sky News that Qatar feels a sense of betrayal and calls upon US and Iran to de-escalate and seek diplomatic solution. He highlighted the impacts that already occur and the consequences to follow.
This definitely sounds cheap and sustainable.
