NEW: Iran is attacking and threatening vessels in the Strait of Hormuz to advance its objective of establishing control over the waterway.

If that assertion holds, something to watch may be ... just how those ships will have to "coordinate" with Iran.

The Middle East, and especially its conflicts, are not a challenge that has a simple solution.

At its core, the insanity in the Strait is about the key issue of our time, the use of fossil fuels and the utter destruction of our civilization thanks to human caused global warming. And yeah, they are sacrificing our lives , our futures to the profit line of the big oil boys.
We are led by corrupted people, who because of their wealth are seen as leaders.
This is WWI stupidity stuff, where people fight and die over unbearably idiotic ideas.

Anything to distract from the Epstein files.

Operation AIPAC FURY is quite an expensive distraction that has bankrupted America, where four million people dropped Obamacare this year because of rising costs and five million people were thrown off SNAP benefits.

And Amerikkka is more than a galaxy and a half away from universal healthcare, as enjoyed by the residents of Israel, Germany, Greenland, 95% of Iran, Taiwan, Canada, Cuba, tiny Albania, Denmark, and in 2027, Mexico.

Trump failed again. He's nothing but a complete failure. Seems weird to idolize a loser like him.

Todah Rabah!

The Israeli troll who enjoys universal healthcare thanks to the hardworking American taxpayer finds the stupid and reckless war against Iran for Israel's benefit "FUNNY."

Kindly highlight this rejoinder as "FUNNY" too, please.

I bet this unimaginative troll NEVER discusses the benefits of Israel's world class universal healthcare system with the rest of us Americans on drudge.com.

Ha ha ha!

R5D4 has been outed as a pro-Israel troll since he first appeared on the DR (coincidentally, the same week of the attack on Iran by Trump and his Zionist controllers) yet he still thinks he has some sort of believability posing as a military vet and typical "libertarian". The fact that everything he posts about is focused upon his frothing hatred of Iran and Islam and Muslims kind of gives it all away.

I was willowby before a catastrophic data loss, about 2 months prior to R5D4. I don't give a damn about Israel. I don't trust anybody who doesn't like dogs or bacon. I just loathe Islam more than Israel.
