Straight of Hormuz, with Buddha imposed, text: The realization that the lack of oil isn't causing your suffering, but the desire for oil itself, on your path to enlightenment.

Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

Every time I want to leave work early on a Friday I run into the weird guilt of "how early is too early?"

For the life of me I cannot understand why Ds are trying to out-Republican Rs on taxes **in this particular moment in time**

That's the sort of thing when you're getting blown out and desperate, not when you're looking at a D+13 or more midterm wave

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

John Perkins was an evangelical Christian. Can you imagine an evangelical Christian saying anything like this today? They'd kill you.

you've convinced me. If you open up DraftKings within 500 yards of a school, I agree. You SHOULD go on a watchlist.

The Pentagon realizes the Strait is vulnerable. “‘The simple answer is yes, they can block it,’” stated Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey on January 8, 2012. For the past twenty years, Iran has invested heavily in the asymmetric capabilities needed to bypass the more powerful U.S. fleet and disrupt merchant shipping and threaten naval forces in the Strait. Iran has concentrated on acquiring naval mines, fleets of heavily armed speedboats, and powerful anti-ship cruise missiles, secretly situated along the bottleneck.

The regular Iranian Navy is relatively professional, and it operates an aging conventional surface fleet that is the remnant of the Shah’s constabulary force. The more politically favored and far less predictable Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN), however, is the country’s guerilla force at sea. The IRGCN has responsibility for security in the Strait of Hormuz, and since the early-1990s, it has invested heavily to keep U.S. forces off balance. The highly ideological IRGCN has 20,000 personnel and 5,000 Revolutionary Guard Marines. These forces regularly exercise war plans to close the Strait. The force operates from bases at Bandar Abbas and Qeshm along the Strait, practicing small boat swarm exercises against international shipping traffic with as many as forty boats.

Iran’s naval inventory includes cruise missiles, marine mines, Kilo- and Yono-class submarines, and Peykaap fast attack craft, the latter of which are armed with cruise missiles and torpe- does. These proxy forces are dispersed and mobile, and have mastered swarm techniques to overwhelm more powerful foes. More than a decade ago, a classified Department of Defense war game concluded that  agile swarms of IRGCN speedboats could inflict major damage on the U.S. Navy’s powerful warships in a conflict. In the game, the United States lost sixteen major warships, including an aircraft carrier, to swarms of enemy speedboats.

a fun thing to do is to search things like "Iran blockade Strait of Hormuz before:2016" to remember that both the Pentagon and Iran have been well aware of the possibility of exactly what's happening now for a very long time and the idiots in charge right now were just like "nah that won't happen"
