The strait of hormuz is open for transit defense secretary Pete hegseth said. The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping he said it is open for transit should Iran not do that

my living room is ready for guests. the only thing prohibiting entrance right now is i am blindly firing a 30.06 at my door. should i stop doing that, it will be perfectly safe to enter.

If I were Hegseth, I'd close every war college before they had time to add him to the curriculum.

People are terrible at assessing risk, because the easiest person to lie to is yourself and "this bad thing won't happen to me because I'm different" is a very comforting lie to believe.

Maybe it should matter that the President of the United States threatened the lives of the Iranian soccer team, who can say

MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.

Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

Oh yeah, also this one. Clearly there's a theme for me.

I've bought this one probably 10 times if not more. But I don't even pretend to be LEO or Mil. It just makes me smile.

Everything is bad, but at least I can focus on my dissertation chapter about how the British in 1915 didn’t have the navy to force a strait when it needed to because it spent the previous decades funding their army’s misadventures in unimportant areas that turned into expensive quagmires.

You couldn’t go five minutes without hearing the word “littoral“ for the last dozen years or more, and now things are actually kicking off in the littoralest littoral in the world and the USN is all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not having a plan to demine Hormuz is a ‘no winter clothes to invade Russia’ level planning error

Buddy of mine finally transitioned to MLOK from Keymod this past February. I'd always tell him 2012 wanted its rail back.

The GOP’s “Transgender For Everybody” is a ludicrous, synthetic, Rufo-esque fabricated-from-whole-cloth moral panic.

People in AssBend, Wyoming will vote themselves into penury because some random YouTuber or podcaster has convinced them LeBron wants to elbow their kid off the girls JV b-ball team.

Makes sense, but is this this a situation Trump can unilaterally back out of? I mean, what if Iran doesn't want to stop firing missiles or drones?

This is incredibly on point.

Spot oil prices grab the news, but it’s the impact we’re about to witness to petrochemical and derivative production that should really scare the shit out of folks.

It’s the sort of shock that could ripple through our global industrial economy for many months.

Your Data Will Be Used Against You (and not just by ICE/CPB). All these technologies will make their way to ordinary law enforcement.
