Honestly should have been done a lot sooner. NACHO is finally doing what always had to be done.

Haha. I’m going to blockade you EVEN HARDER! Michael Scott is running this country

Yep. Two can play the mining game. Encircle Kharg and the other islands within Iran’s territorial waters with mines and just leave them there until someone rational gains control in Iran. If Iran sorties their little speedboats swat them with A-10s, attack helicopters, and drones.
Sort of like the island hopping campaign in the Pacific against the Bushido zealots in WW2. You can’t eat oil, and starving on an island is a $hitty way to martyr oneself.

Again... questioning or being against dumb decision making and not wanting to be dragged into endless war with no end in sight does not equal "rooting against" your own country.

Classic example of how two conflicting truths cannot be possible at the same time in some minds.

Won’t this exacerbate the reason we want the strait open to begin with?

There is no plan. The rest of the world needs ships to flow through the strait. Who can last longer? Us or the regime? All they have to do is survive. It’s easy to dismiss elevated gas prices and the associated cost increase of everything else when you’re an upper middle class major airline pilot. What about everyone else?

Sure buddy, that's it. You just care too much.

But, it's not though.
How's that happen without boots on the ground?
Did he?

"I condemn today’s military escalation in the Middle East. The use of force by the United States and Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace and security."

"I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today." -UN Secretary-General António Guterres
Our country unilaterally taking military action against smaller countries doesn't greenlight and embolden Russia and China to do the same? Three of the five permanent UN Security Council members have essentially nodded to each other this sort of thing is fine.
Do you... do you retroactively support Vietnam?

And what Judge Smails said is correct. To suggest that criticizing a dumb war is unpatriotic is like saying you shouldn't speak up to the Captain when he's descending into terrain.

Remember how that island hopping campaign took almost 2.5 years and killed 10,000’s of Americans. But sure anowhow let’s compare this situation to peleliu…

And we ended up not having to invade the mainland after all...

I wonder what we did instead? Can someone remind me?
