“how about we send the kurds to de-mine the strait” - the greatest thread in the history of CENTCOM, locked by C/NAVCENT after 12,239 pages of heated debate

Also, any competent plan would've been trying to get rid of vessels that could be used to lay mines from the start, not just now. But this is Hegseth so. Too busy getting edit material by only blowing up the big ships so they can post it to the CENTCOM twitter account. Everything is posting

"Operation Epic Escort" is why Pete Hegseth's wife sits in on his work meetings

Just glad the Samuel B Roberts isn’t around to see this.

It is kinda funny the navy is just refusing to do what is ostensibly one of its core functions

OH NOW WE DONT WANT TO DO FONOPS I SEE HOW IT IS

>Start war with Iran

>Everyone tells you Iran is gonna shut Hormuz

>Ignore them lol

>Iran shuts Hormuz

>Ohfuckwhatnow.png

>”uuuhhh we’re weighing options”

>Can’t Transformers hype edit your way out of this one

>”Yeah I’m calling it Epic Escort, sounds tough huh, yeah I came up with it myself”

"Operation Epic Escort"

Oh we’re weighing options *now*

TEN DAYS IN AND NOW THEY'RE WEIGHTING O p T i O n S

Related is to have the surface warfare fleet consist entirely of lumbering, multi-role ships as big as WWII heavy cruisers -- with roles that do not include minesweeping and area defense against drones -- because "frigates" are too femme.

Dying in the streets of Bandar Abbas, now that's how manly men crack open straits.

Convoy escort and minesweeping have been neglected by the USN for decades because they are heavily female-coded.

Who needs any of these when you have Navy Seals and their cool beards

i sort of think part of the problem here is that accurately portraying american sentiment about this war would shred a lot of other assumptions about the second trump admin that much of the political press have been running with since the start

Not to state the glaringly obvious but Graham Platner voted to send himself to Iraq

When Joe Biden was determined to be too old, the media wouldn't relent on that story until public opinion matched their coverage and he was finished. They dont have any interest in turning the public against this fucking nazi and its a CHOICE.

Zeteo ran an interview with Graham Platner today (paywalled, unfortunately) and I can't get past the fact that someone who literally recommends people watch "Come and See" as the ultimate anti-war movie is trying to pretend he never knew what a Totenkopf was.

There’s a reason we never pulled the trigger on this fight, until the dumbest fucking Defense Secretary and President in US history stepped up to the plate.

He’s literally doing the “Donald Trump who I do not support” lmao

remember when MattyY was talking about how dems shouldn't talk about immigration

Flashback to the 2024 Republican National Convention 👇🏽

MOOOOOOOOOM THE ENEMY IS VOTING AGAIN

Relatable. The entire reason for the existence of the US constitution for the last 238 years has been to prevent THIS ONE THING from happening

and yet

USCENTCOM’s entire reason for existence for the last forty years has been to prevent exactly THIS ONE THING from happening

‘wars begin when you will, but do not end when you please’. Niccolò Machiavelli

Like did no one else read the loading screens of Medieval II : Total War.

I've enjoyed the pivot we've seen from people who think the two peninsula pipelines can replace all of the traffic in Hormuz. In particular, the idea that KSA will switch everything over to the Red Sea (which doesn't have the infrastructure or workforce)... as if you couldn't also just drone that.

Every now and again he finds an Event that his really distortion field cannot overcome

The first was COVID

The second was the pre-1/6 Winter Coup

This is now number 3

Mister Trump showing the woke commie postmodernists what for by giving them a Gulf War that really does take place.
