Another way in which GenAI is fucking things up
Bad news.
Apart from the sovereignty issue, that's about 22% of annual US production of Tomahawks flying past there.
This isn't a sustainable campaign.
We have won the war, but it is too dangerous for any of our naval vessels to approach the Straits of Hormuz. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
Per the Bible, Jesus specifically identified himself with the poor, the people others turn away (and he suggested you likely go to hell if u do that), and those in prisons
