Solid choice of boat but not cut out for open waters. Good luck

Saudis seem to have fortified the pumping stations for this pipeline. (And the Houthis are in disarray again).

From disarray to a wildly successful attack on an airport.

Quite the turnaround.

Read Pakistan is already joining in with airstricks. Turkey has failed their part of the pact because Israel probably warned them not to being g close to Israel.

Enough is enough. This all needs to end. Timing is no longer relevant. Do what needs to be done.

The ease with which drones and smaller launch systems can be utilized by small groups of "militia" with a grudge is alarming. We should be focusing a lot more of our military spending on hardening key infrastructure and probably need more strict drone use laws. If you are flying a private drone anywhere near a power plant, pipeline, etc without expressed permission that thing should be disabled immediately.

Well outside of the enemy of my enemy is my friend, there is no reason to consider Saudi an ally. There is no reason the US should escalate military action based off of this.

Trumps first foreign visit was to Saudi in 2017. The first foreign head of state to be welcomed to white house with military ceremony and state dinner was Saudi in Trump 2.0. Saudi is a very important ally and if their foreign investment diversifies away from USD, there will be some pain.

Saudi transacts in USD and recycles the USD into US economy.

This. Call us when they pass the about 5-10K people killed mark so we can ask them how that feels.

IRGC says actions against violating vessels will not be limited to Strait of Hormuz, adds any vessel passing through unauthorized route will be pursued throughout Middle East.

They're gonna chase them down in some 16' carolina skiffs

Until there's a 9-11 reckoning of UBLs financiers, the house of Saud and their domestic allies are no friend of ours.

He's being flippant about it of course but it's probably true that there's no clear leadership structure really.

So, there's that.

Well however we got to this point, we are there. And we better figure out some way to solve it.

If that's honest (and I'm not so sure because Trump has previously and publicly stated that he chose not to believe our intel in other areas) then it's frankly even more embarrassing for the administration.

I would submit that we stopped about 12 levels too soon.

It would be funny if Iran didnt know how our government worked. The blockade is not going to magically stop on Nov 4.

If Trump loses both houses, his best window to drop the hammer will be the 8 weeks after.

Hope he is ready to do just that, but I have my doubts.

It's all they have at this point, short of a domestic attack here, which I think is likely.

And it's effective.

Do they not know that Trump will still be POTUS after the midterms regardless of the results? And that he will still be the CiC of the military?

And that he can be very petty and could then give a much worse response to Iran because of this to pay them back?

Yep, that's why no one has ever taken action against them....

They're hoping the Democrats will have the votes to put an end to it, or even remove Trump from office.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

That hope is certain not a strategy

And if that hope doesn't materialize, then they have to deal with a lame-duck Trump with no reason to hold back for an election. That's not a situation many would choose, especially if he knew that you had already tried to assassinate him at least once before.

They won't...

And if they did, there would be zero of those Republicans that removed him in office after their next elections...

This could end worse for the IRGC than they thought it could.

Apparently a wine tanker was struck yesterday, while bringing the sheiks what must be some low grade vino.

Funny, anyway.

Centcom continues to issue near-daily rebuttals of whatever claims the IRGC seems to put out about Hormuz.

A couple of interesting posts/data points.


JMM sounds like a sunni separatist group, not a bunch of good guys but whatever works to inflict pain on the basij/IRGC.
