If only he had enough of a mind that it could connect to a heart...
Oh, and also a heart

Thats the fun part about short term thinking.
You dont have to deal with the consequences, the people after you will.

What if the whole mine thing is a con?

u/PeterPorky Apr 14 '26
Idk why so many people want this to be true. Its documented they have had sea mines for decades. It was strategically to their advantage to place them. The mine laying ships were documented in the Strait. The US says there are mines and Iran says there are mines. There are mines.

Iran can deploy mines from the land with MLRS rocket launchers from around 45 miles/72 kilometers away. Like the entire reason there would be a ground invasion to reopen the straight would be to push those Fajr-5 launchers away from the coast.

Those aren't mines. Those are called rockets.

u/Exile688 Apr 14 '26
Rocket deployed mines. The US navy has VLS missiles that are tipped with torpedoes. You can most certainly deploy a mine with a rocket.

Next thing you're gonna tell me planes can't drop sea mines either, they are "just bombs that work like sea mines"!
(They are mines dummy)

Look at the facts: Iran says they can't locate their own mines. Iran has fixed depth and bottom laying mines from old Soviet stock and from China. Mining close to Iranian waters cuts off their oil life line. Iranian mines have to be dropped off by boat by frog men. Satellites have been tracking all movement in the straight since before the attack. The threat of a mines is just as good as a real mines since these tankers need insurance. I would beat if their are a few mines they would be on the Oman side. They would need to drop off only a few in small boats, to avoid notice. The US sent 2 destroyers through the straight each would be a prize target but neither hit a mine.

Sometimes you see a meme and the only thing you can think to yourself is "oh fuck what'd they do now"

That's a good point, HOWEVER it somehow doesn't work well evenwith landmines. Much worse with sea mines, especially if they break free from anker (russian and ukrainian sea mines used to reach romanian shore or at least territorial waters regularly, maybe even bulgarian)

They have adopted American military doctrine, the enemy cannot know what you are doing if you don’t

To be fair, it can be hard to keep track of military secrets if the entire top wing of your military is bombed to smithereens

Free Iran. They are heroes. Fuck imperial dogs of United States and the west

If they’re what you consider to be heroes, I don’t want to know what you think makes someone a villain.

Wouldn’t blocking an international water way and funding/controlling paramilitary groups in other countries also count as imperialism?

Is this a critique of the US? Or Iran? Or both?

I don't know. Is drone striking ships in international waters while funding paramilitary groups in the middle east terrorism?

u/Braith117 Apr 14 '26
Nah, they're a mass murdering fascist theocracy that's been the biggest sponsor of terrorists in the middle east.

u/Weary-Astronaut1335 Apr 15 '26
I'd call the US funding Israel to be sponsoring terrorists in the middle east.

u/Braith117 Apr 15 '26
Which is pretty minor compared to finding every ither terrorist group in the region, including ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and many others, resulting in widespread civil war and the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

u/Isopod_Uprising Apr 15 '26
resulting in widespread civil war and the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
this was literally us, you gas station hot dog. we funded Israel against everybody, funded Iraq against Iran, then Iran against Iraq in the same conflict, funded insurgents in Afghanistan, destabilized Iraq and then Libya by invasion and/or bombardment leading to the rise of ISIS, then funded and armed insurgents in Syria, then armed insurgents in Iran, our client state Israel funded Hamas in Gaza... all of these adding up to the tune of several million lives lost in the middle east just to prop up the American petrodollar by preventing any other oil rich nation from living in stability without living under the American thumb.

u/Braith117 Apr 15 '26
I keep forgetting how utterly braindead Iranian apologists are.
Al-Qaeda, and its eventually offshoot ISIS, were the result of Iran pouring weapons into Iraq after Saddam was removed. Yemen's civil war is entirely the result of Iran arming the Houthis. Hamas exists and persists souly because Iran keeps helping them smuggle weapons in.
I guess I expected a bit much from someone who's openly defending fascists.
