Iran crisis and the effect on world shipping

FACT.

I have mentioned at least two times on this forum that Jews are the smartest ppl on this planet.

=========
Q. Who owns media?

Books are thicker then the articles and there are many books like there are many articles.

Who is Wittkoff and who is Kushner?

What are Rubio and Cruz declaring publicly and unashamedly.?

Who are christian zionists in USA.?

Is not christan- zionist an oxymoron?

Whose holly book call Mary a hooker ? Koran?

Watch Tucker interviewing Cruz and then the act of vengeance.

We have US ambassador nominated by T. who showed up in kippah for his first meeting with president and P.M.. to send us a message how things will be run from now on. Already interfered in our internal affairs several times and works of parliament.

One does not have to be the smartest ppl on the planet, enjoy being God chosen and God given to connect the dots that the mother of all pogroms is coming soon .

2000 years of history and the smartest ppl on earth have not learned nothing ?, that there are red lines??



The majority of the people in Israel do not support Bibi just as the majority of the people do not support Trump. But they do bring out the worst in people which is one big thing they have in common. Bibi is trying to stay out of jail and by his own admission Trump ran for president to do the same.

Yours above is undeniable.

And yet this is from US media and no other i hear that Izrael is the only democracy in the M.E. and it is the duty and moral obligation to support it.

And yet i know there is the most beautiful document /act ever created by menkind ( no human kind !!! but by menkind) and it starts with the most catching and wonderful sentence: " We the People "

And it means for me "we the People " are in charge . We choose no other.

If that is so and if the majority of “We the People” in one country or the other yours included are against, so logic dictates "we the People " take matters in their hands and clean up the shit . It is doable if one followed the BLM hysteria.

But there is a catch as in everything . What was good 250, 200,100 years ago and in 1989 seems to have morphed into something else as it seems to me that it is not " We the People " chosing our leaders but rather " We the rich People " who do it.

Q. Who owns the money ?

In 1930s Germany the majority of the people surely knew about the existence of the Document mentioned above and new very well it contained “We the People” .
They have done nothing about it and with catastrophic results to " We the People" .

So if above People are the smartest on earth and by implication their supporters are too, why i do not see them doing the right thing?

Look at the education system of the US in comparison to the rest of the world before you claim they are the smartest on earth.That also might help you understand some of their choices.

I don’t consider anyone here to be a yapping voice, just people with different opinions / ideas.

Like I said earlier, I don’t know if he has a plan or not. One things for sure, time will tell.

As for him wanting 200 billion for his “excursion” wtf happened to the 150 billion included in the BBB that was allocated for defense?

You surely have a point here although one must observe and note also, that despite mentioned by You impediments , it is still the top dog in the majority of parameters characterising the most powerful country militarily and economically. And i can hardly believe it maintains this position thanks only to historical momentum. But of course You surely have a better position to judge it hence i decline to argue .

On the other hand I am not sure the BLM wave was sparked by the brightest and most educated people en masse and yet it got plenty of attention let alone concern and reverberated world wide.

When you find out soon no doubt you will say, “Sorry, Donald. I never should have doubted you.”

Beats me. I’m not his bookkeeper. I suspect he might want to protect the lives of US servicemen in battle and give them what they need to win.

The USD 200 billion were for DEFENCE, now he need USD 150 billion for OFFENCE.

So, I’m ruminating about all the posts. Two sides: Interventionists & non-interventionists. While I try and put my “hawkish” bias aside, and try and adopt a “leave them the fu@k alone” mentality, my alter-ego asks a question:

Hasn’t Iran demonstrated what it would do, if it achieved a nuke & placed it on a ballistic missile, by attacking its neighbors’ gas fields & civilian targets???

My answer, supports my “hawkish” bias, and leads me to support the total destruction of Iran’s military, including the IRGC, and decapitation of the leadership, down to the 4th or 5th tier.

It just seems imprudent to permit reconstitution of the drone & missile programs, as well as the nukes.

Forget about what POTUS said during the campaign - it doesn’t matter. Forget about Obama did or didn’t do. What Iran would do with a nuke, does.

The only way that will happen is with American ground troops invading Iran. If that’s ok with you then that’s your opinion, which I respect. But say it out loud.

I am confused. Why send ships loaded with Marines if there is going to be “ no boots on the ground?”

Grok is a lot cheaper than generals, but how is it doing so far? The future for the Air Force General in the top job looks a bit bleak if Trump’s past performance is any guide.

Here is a snippet. If you’re in a bulk carrier going to load fertilizer in the Gulf you don’t arrive alongside bulging with water and stores. Granted a prudent master in years gone bye may have noted the political situation but the masters of these ships are not masters of their own destiny and everything is scrutinized by those ashore.

They are now running out of water having planned to have been loaded and clear of the Gulf and making their own. The longer this drags on the more desperate things will be.

===============================================================

My post did not have an exclusion to ground troops. There is a caveat however: None of the gradualism I lived through in Viet Nam. Choose the target, attack the target, GFO! None of the piecemeal approach of Afghanistan [letting the Paks get OBL in Tora-Bora]. None of the miscues of Gulf War I with the Iraqi soldiers. Do it right - or don’t do it at all!

Disagree. The targets associated with the stated goals are not difficult to find and can be taken out with periodic airstrikes. I saw this strategy refered to somewhere as “mowing the grass”, which should be farmed out to the Israelis. I get the feeling they will happily take on the task.

As far as getting/keeping the strait of Hormuz open, that will probably require near constant predator and satellite overwatch with a CG/DDG on station to provide tomahawk backup to whatever the drones can’t handle.

Not saying ZERO US boots will ever touch the sand as some SEAL/Delta Force type missions might present themselves, but a mass deployment of troops should not be done.

It is irrelevant Dr.Bugge because this is the plan.

and this the most probable result of the plan.

He who does not learn from history will not know his future.

And all above was planned meticulously.

@spowiednick : “He who does not learn from history will not know his future”

Exactly. Which is why there should be no mass troop deployment.

Maintain air superiority, periodically ‘mow the grass’, do what’s required to keep the strait open, kill members of the current regime when they pop their heads up.

The relaxed air of the marina, whilst anti-fouling the boat before it goes back in the water, was somewhat disturbed by B-52 and B1-B Lancers taking off 3 miles away and flying overhead.

B1’s were especially noisy.

Still, at least they were taking off rather than flying over and dropping shit on me.

Be carefull what you whish for toy soldier.
