Grant you it is confusing there is what Trump says and then there's what the actual federal government branches say. Does not often match up, but the branches are usually the ones more accurate by a large margin.

I thought the United States Navy was blockading the Strait.

Not according to US Central Command. They've been consistent in calling it a blockade of Iran, not the Strait.

"The U.S. Navy is specifically blockading vessels entering or exiting Iranian ports and coastal areas, rather than a total closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This targeted action, focused on curbing Iranian cash flow, applies to ships of all nations trafficking in Iranian goods. centcom (.mil)"

Trump let them through the US blockade.

"It travelled from Dubai to Muscat, Oman"

It's not a blockade of Dubai.

Maybe if he hangs himself in very mysterious circumstances...

Hmmm, did a guy snap, tell people he snapped, gave them the reasons why he snapped, and his assault happened to go way differently than he thought it would.

or

A criminal conspiracy convinced a college admissions coach in California to throw his life away so Trump could hasten his ballroom construction.

And what would be the enhanced security? If the security is so poor that the shooter can just run past security, it doesn't matter where it's located.

lol. Remember that time in 2014 where a vet with PTSD just ran over the little lady they had at the White House door and ran around inside for awhile before he was subdued?

Not sure if this is the Retort or InfoWars.

The only thing that unified Arabs was killing jews, and that doesn't work anymore.

So, slavery.
With extra steps.

Slavery is private service.

The US govt retains its sole monopoly on slavery.

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction".

Snuck up on by a herd of elephants will always be a funny.

"Mandatory public service" is a hell of a whitewashing of slavery.

"Iran has mandatory military service for all male citizens upon reaching the age of 18. The service lasts between 18 and 24 months, with conscripts serving in the army, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), or the police."

An afro-persian draftee from Hormozgan. That's up there with being a black draftee during Vietnam.

"Russia is transitioning to a year-round, modernized military conscription system for 2026, targeting men aged 18"30 for one year of service. As of late 2025, the age range was expanded from 27 to 30, and electronic, 30-day expiring, summonses are used to fill quotas, often exceeding 130,000 per, or now, throughout the year."

bet they wish they were cleaning parks instead of being slaughtered in a trench by a quadrotor.

Awww, somebody is sad for Russia.

Given the division of the US citizens a mandatory draft wouldn't be a bad thing.
Getting people out of their bubble and actually doing some physical labor might fix the US citizen.
Anyone disagreeing is a lazy PoS.

Genius. We don't need them at all for war, and draftees kind of suck.

However, we could use them to clean up parks, do solar installs. We could call them the Climate Corp.

The completely autonomous AI suicide drone swarm they unleashed on a Russian tank column is really intimidating. When the war started it was 1 man, 1 fpv drone. Now 1 guy opens a box and 40 drones fly out on their own. Even models coming that are basically a self-contained LAN of fiber cabling with bomb quadroters on the end of every cable. Can't jam those, can't easily spot the source.

Call it 1800 speedboats destroyed over 35 days of bombings, so 51 speedboats a day destroyed on average?

That's a crazy number.

Snoofy pays the White price everywhere he goes.

A speedboats have the same level of effectiveness as Somali pirates. They do very poorly when people shoot back at them.

Roughly 60% of the naval arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is still in existence, the officials said, including fast-attack speed boats.

It's all speedboats left. Every Surface Warfare Vessel is destroyed. They only had 126.

They started with 5000 speedboats. If 40% of their navy is destroyed, we've been blowing up speedboats by the thousand.

One thing you don't see in Khabibi's gym, women.

I've got the worlds tiniest violin for Chapelle, but the irony is funny.

Everything bigger than a speedboat is indeed destroyed.

Less than a dozen IRCG lads in a speedboat with AKs not following the general order.

Despite how they were received, he meant them as jokes and not as an attack of transgender people.

That's what they always were.

but remind me, how were they received here?
