All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil! President DJT

go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.

hyperflush Yeah, that seems like the most probable outcome i-cant

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 48 points 3 weeks ago

Don't siege the strait of Hormuz, just take it!

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 41 points 3 weeks ago

Literally what are you even afraid of? All of the things that keep my navy from going to the Strait and just TAKING IT?

"I simply would have won the war"

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

yea thats what i woulda did

[-] axont@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago

Just slam your boats headfirst into mine fields and artillery fire

Nothing could go wrong

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

just have to Naruto run it'll be fine

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 48 points 3 weeks ago

he must be getting some truly hilarious outcome projections for ground ops, infinite casualties

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 29 points 3 weeks ago

I'm so curious to see it happen. Stupid Gallipoli would be the most important naval battle in history because it would erase the idea of warships.

[-] Biggay@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Gallipoli was already stupid, Operation Even Stupider Gallipoli would be fantastic

[-] bunnossin@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

As in, because they're just big slow missile targets?

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Big slow drone swarm targets. Ukraine already showed the prototype for a real 21st century naval war in its drone attacks on Russian ships, but the Russian navy has been considered a joke for over a century. The US Navy claims to be the best of the best and its carrier groups are at the forefront of screening doctrine. If they lose multiple ships in some humiliating way, there's no point in investing in similar ships to counter them.

If this becomes a naval invasion and especially a ground war, I think we're going to see a future where the best strategy is like nuclear deterrence was in the 20th century. All you need is a mountain you can dig a big hole under and as many drones/missiles as you can fit in it. Iran is still achieving a regional blockade and economically undermining the US at an existential level just by firing a few shots per day. You can't bomb or raid the mountain, but as long as it exists anything within range of it is under siege for a fraction of the cost to counter it.

Yes I have the most powerful and expensive navy on the planet, no you can't see it. H-h-how about you show me your Navy first on the enemy I said I defeated?

comrade trump continues his revolution against NATO :07:

JDPON Don, hero of the yuan.

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

Tanking both the petrodollar and the pedodollar. Not the hero we needed, but the one we deserve.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 32 points 3 weeks ago

Just go ahead and take it... By paying in yuan.

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 30 points 3 weeks ago

Didn’t Iran say that the strait will be closed for US and Israel only and that it’s otherwise open? Like, the UK wouldn’t even have to ‘take it’, right?

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 27 points 3 weeks ago

Also for allies of the US. European powers are hosting US military bases and posturing in lukewarm/anti-Iranian ways. While we're starting to see opposition to that from the Spanish and Italians, the rest of the NATO powers seem like they might be drawn in like Afghanistan and Iraq once the US formally invades.

Shipping insurers also get the last word. If missiles and drones are still flying over the Strait and targeting ships in it, the war hazard is there for anything in range.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago

It's a somber time when I have to offer critical support to the Italians

[-] MerryJaneDoe@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago

JFC. He really does want the entire world to hate us.

I don't want to deny being American while I'm abroad, but maybe I'll just act a little stupid.

"Trump who? Oh, THAT guy is the president again?! Whoa, that IS crazy, had no idea!"

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

The best part is, no one would call you out on it, because who would question the ignorance of an American?

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago

Art of the Deal

[-] Dr_Pepper@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

This is like shit people would write on LiveJournal after they got dumped.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

Everyone in my life is causing so much DRAMA. Not me tho I'm just invading Iran and crashin the economy but EVERYONE ELSE and they are SO MEAN TO ME.

[-] Bishop_Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore,

So fucking true

It seems like Decimate and Obliterate were recent days on the Word-Of-the-Day calendar those grandkids gave him.

[-] cattish@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Bro is so mad, he didn't even thank us for our attention on this matter.
