I was thinking more about local positions like mayor here. When they can do a lot of stuff and most people won't be aware. And it's not like when this is exposed left wing will ever criticize it: "it's a good thing", "it's fighting against racism" etc.
Prime minister is under way more scrutiny than some local mayor.

I'm just saying it's not always the case with any kind of minority holding a position of power. I don't want to derail the topic further though.

I believe that's one of the jobs of the LCS and a handful of mine countermeasures ships with a homeport in Japan
But for the UK, you could ask Sandy Sandilands.

God, he's something else.
At this point you'd think the US, Israel, and the Gulf states would have Iran's coastline effectively locked down - and that anything moving without their say-so would be dealt with quick smart.

Meanwhile putin might preparing invasion In Latvia, Estonia
The Russian government has approved a new bill that will allow the use of the Russian army abroad to protect Russian citizens in the event of their arrest or prosecution by international courts. The document was drafted by the Ministry of Defense, Interfax reported, citing a source

He was doing that already without a law. Legality is irrelevant if Putin wants something since he can draft any law he pleases.

I think everyone should be bracing for this. There is no other way to achieve the objectives they have set forth. Be it regime change or control of the nuclear material.

Isn't it a bit of semantics though given the rest of the caption? It tells you he is a terrorist given the description of his actions.

No, I don't think it's semantics. Hurtling explosive devices isn't activism. It's media trying to diminish the gruesome motives of these people.

I mean I read it and I inferred the guy is sick because of what his actions are not because of some label the media gave him..

the Strait is over 100 miles long and at times 60 miles wide. There are not enough air craft in the world to monitor that much space 24/7 with 100% coverage to catch and stop deployments by very small boats. And you have to imagine Iran has been preparing to do this for a long time.

It's funny I was listening to the local radio here in Australia where (like in most places) we've numerous pro-Palestinian protests which inevitably clash with police.
The hosts were discussing 'police brutality' and one said, 'yeah, like the heavy handed tactics used on the peaceful rioters' ... I thought 'peaceful rioters, huh? Freudian slip! '

We love a consistent president. Ships should show some guts and go through the Strait of Hormuz because it's safe. But also the U.S. Navy will begin escorting ships as soon as possible. But also not really, because it's far too dangerous for all that right now.

....no, they really weren't lmao. Pretty much anyone who would have a problem with this had a problem with this long before the obvious economic fallout that directly affects most everyone living in America manifested themselves.
That they would manifest themselves is one of the reasons why so many had a problem with it, in fact.
That they are now coming to pass tho, means that a lot more who DIDNT have a problem with this now will. And its pretty easy to see why if you've been paying attention for the last several years.

Don't ever look at what is happening right now and even begin to think its "your fault".
It isnt.
Wishing your son the best.

Remember how the strikes previously had '' totally destroyed '' all of that according to the Trump admin?
Now suddenly we're talking about Iran building nukes again lmfao.
Trump even said that they were '' a week away '' from building a nuke recently.
Absolute clown.
Is the implication here that they rebuilt everything so quickly?

A IRGC Basij member filmed himself leaving his post, saying he believes the Islamic regime is over.
Standing inside what he says is a Basij barracks that used to be a school, he explains that everyone there has already left.
"Everyone is gone or leaving. I'm going home too," he says. "It seems like the regime is finished and we should surrender. I just hope the people don't take revenge on us."

Check who is fundings the mosques in the West, then report back. Spoiler: it's not Iran. In fact Iran is a sworn enemy of the country funding the mosques.
But hey, looks like global economy going down the drain to own…who exactly?

The Saudis built this pipeline decades ago in the event an emergency occurred and the Strait of Hormuz was blocked. It has never been run at full capacity before but it will soon be ramped up to deliver a significant amount of oil that used to pass through the Strait
Not a replacement by any means, but it will dramatically slow the rate at which countries dependent on ME oil deplete their stocks and give the US, Israel, and Arab allies more time to finish the war as they see fit

What a painfully obtuse "rebuttal."
In fact, all of your comments in here are ignorant AF.

Surprised a barracks hasn't been bombed.
they should have just banned from the threat not the entire site

The problem is that a large portion of fertilizers also pass through there (mainly destined for smaller countries in Asia, Africa, and Oceania).
The UN trade act did a did a good survey about it:

I mean he's a bit guilty himself of staying in his ecochamber as well, based on what the twitter links he posts here

Why does this look like it was filmed in 1993?

Try harder, since if your argument is "Islam wants to destroy the West" - yes, the Saudi Arabia variety.
