I believe the US will take Kharg island
1. Iran is still getting oil out of the Gulf, almost all of it out of Kharg
2. China is the primary beneficiary
3. Iran can continue to resist as long as it get its oil money
4. 5000 (a MEU) is about how many troops you'd need
I can’t stand this much winning.
Seeing quite a lot of people reacting with very positive feelings to the stauncher stance on shadow fleet shown by Swedish authorities last week.
This one takes the prize though. A full song celebrating it =)

It's not just rethoric.
The (very real) degradation of Iran's strike capabilities and the killing of Ayatollahs vs relatively few casualties and damages may be but a shiny, Pyrrhic military victory: if shipping remains blocked, that's when we enjoy the full "And now what?" experience, a.k.a. Finding Out in a FAFO loop.
It's possible and it seems to be what has happened.
CNN report in line with Sen Chris Murphy's.
But "enough about our horrific past, let's talk about our horrific future".
Now the Q is if Hormuz will be reopened and the timeframe, or remains closed, even with Houthis closing Bab el-Mandeb too.

Sweden is stepping up the shadow fleet game with another violent boarding of a stateless tanker, last one less than a week ago.
Minister Bohlin surely does not sound like this is the last of it.
Previous boarding has led to detention of vessel CAFFA and charges against crew.
Caveat emptor.
Relevant re:accountability re:loans.
"Emptor" being the one buying the risk.
I'll defer to others the discussion about who's the buyer of risk in a morgage loan, depending on the circumstances.
Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s “the right of the people,” not of citizens.
We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.
And Omega received 2 EW systems and 2 charging stations🫡
