Mining it wouldn't make a lot of sense anyway considering they still wanted ships they approved of to be able to get through. If Kharg had been taken out, then they might have wanted to mine it if they could, because they would no longer need it passable.

His comments read like a capitulation with a brave face put on it, but I guess we'll see. It doesn't really matter which ships are allowed through, so long as the oil gets out.

They totally would.

This war is being battled out between US, Israel and Iran. Yet Iran was flinging missiles in every direction against all sorts of countries. And not just US bases there, but just randomly shooting them and hitting civilian spots.

Just imagine if they had a slew of nukes.

Yup.

It's the kind of place that doesnt admit defeat. Too proud. They would rather go down with the ship (no pun intended -->). As another example, trying t blow up oil tanker ships with drones and a new one..... explosive boats.

I mean it's highly unlikely they would. But a 1:10000 chance of them using a nuke destroying a city with millions of people in it and then the retaliatory nuclear strikes that would remove Iran from the map and the literal and figurative fallout from that is too high a risk. Which would all make sense if the enriched uranium wasn't apparently still sat in a bunker in Iran (or in a bunker buried under a mountain).

~40,000 protesters were gunned down and ~200,000 more were maimed last month. It has had a demoralizing effect; the bravest protesters are dead. People are staying home and waiting it out, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire either.

The regime's ability to combat the USA-Israeli forces has been largely sorted out, as have multiple rounds of leadership, but most of the thugs on the ground are still intact. We don't yet know what will be done on that front.

The UK has created this view where they've normalized primitive Pakistani religious views as being standard doctrine.

I was in Morocco on a private stay with a Moroccan family, and this young British Pakistani tourist couple who was also on it kept harassing the local Moroccans over their religious practices. Muslims in their own country getting harassed by these British Pakistani wackos.

I like to nuance the issue as there being both a problem with Islam's religious doctrine as well as a problem with Pakistani culture, so Pakistani Muslims are just giving it a double dose of fucked up.

Hate to break it to you but France is fully cooked.

40 to 70% of their entire prison population is Muslim. It's hard to get an exact number due to France bizarre policy of never recording ethnicities and groups.

Marseille is an Arab province. French teacher head cut off for disrespecting the pedo prophet. France has had islamic terror attacks that have killed more in one attack than all the islamic terror attacks in England.

France and Belgium will be the first to fall to islam, followed by England and Germany.

There are now more Muslims in the UK than there are Scottish people.

[MisterFalcon]

So your '3-day Special Military Operation' was a reference to Ukraine? Or Iran? Because I don't remember a timeframe like that being given for Iran.

You don't believe Iran's offensive missile capability has been severely degraded?

The term 'severely degraded' is so vague it's quote pointless. As long as the Strait remains closed and every day, Iran is able to attack the countries around it and score hits their offensive missile capability is greater than their enemies' capability to intercept them or prevent them from being launched.
It's just MBA speak to hide what is happening. Trump also repeats the term 'decimated' which I doubt he knows what it means, which is a reduction by 10 percent. According to Hegseth's press statement the Iranian missile volume has been reduced by 90 percent 3 or 4 times which would come down to 0,1 missiles per day.

If Iran is either unable to score a single hit with a missile or drone for a week or unable to hit a ship for a week you can say their capabilities are sufficiently degraded. Meanwhile, Iranian proxies in Iraq suddenly have fiber optic FPV drones to attack US bases with. Surely not sent by Russia as Steve Witkoff has gotten promises they would not do so.
It's only a matter of time before regular footage of American soldiers being chased by FPV drones in HD and being exploded starts coming in.

Whoa, 40 to 70%? why not 120% while you're at it? Seriously, the most serious estimates put it between 10 and 15% in France and Belgium. Some regions have more Muslims than others, obviously. Marseille is a real problem.

But they don't have the Anglo-Saxon obsession with religion being something that must visibly coexist with the state. Seeing the mayor of New York celebrating iftar, for example, would simply not be possible in France.

There's also sharia being applied in many areas in England. So yes, some neighborhoods in France are rough, but legally speaking that kind of situation is impossible there.

And if you look at the statistics on arrests over social media posts, the UK takes the crown by a very wide margin, it's something completely unprecedented.

Overall, England seems to have moved in that direction more quickly than France and Belgium.. The same problems exist everywhere though: terrorist attacks, knife attacks, rapes, and so on. Unfortunately, that's the case everywhere.

 

[DrFigs]

Of all the things that Trump does to shit on our allies, starting a war with Iran and then begging other countries to come help them as got to be one of the most egregious. We have spent the past year antagonizing these other countries w/ arbitrary tariffs and leveraging our military support to strong arm them, but we also expect them to come to our aid to help sort out a war that we started. America's standing has taken permanent damage, how can any other country rely on us anymore when we act like this?

The reason prison population estimates at 40 to 70 is because France doesn't properly record or collect data. That's why it's called an estimate.
