Trump issues 'shoot and kill' order in dramatic Hormuz escalation as Pentagon posts chilling video of US troops seizing ship carrying Iranian oil amid

Well, the Navy Proper. It doesn't take much to lay mines, just small boats. Still, I agree that we are dealing with this issue after being told we owned the waterways. I keep telling myself please that Hegseth and the military must have known Iran would pull a blockade and have an effective strategy to deal with it. That said, it finally does sound like our blockade is beginning to work without destroying the country and seeing a lot of people needlessly killed.


That is way down the road, after everything else is settled first. That will take months of digging.


Bravado. Yeah, OK, we had them ultimately beat within the first days, but Iran is the 6th largest army in the world, not a road apple, with an economy 100% built upon military and weapons, and they are not going to just lay down. Frankly, we are accomplishing in weeks what normally should involve years at war--- look at Russia, now into what--- year 4 of its war with puny Ukraine?

Only way to deal with it long term is hit their stores on mines and islands and rigs deploying them

Like the fanatic Iranians, Democrats will fight to the bitter end..

well they better get ready ! another carrier group just arrived !

Oh...is that what you're seeing?

Ahh...by that time they will have rebuilt their entire nuke program...just like they did from July 25-February 26.

Strange how they seemed to have dug it out pronto.

An apt comparison.

But the US and USSR invaded a nation that posed zero threat to them to feed the ego of a maniacal leader who didn't have a plan on what to do on day two.

We'll still be over there 4 years from now BTW....

its all over but the crying lefty ..
