Caine Mutiny

No, go back and look. I wrote that we can’t open up the strait without a ground invasion. Actually on second thought don’t go back and look. This is a useless conversation. Whatever Trump says and does is what you believe and what you want to happen. No point in trying to argue facts with you.

It doesn’t need to be. You don’t seem to have a clue about asymmetrical warfare do you?

Iran doesn’t have us where they want us. And they’re losing the war and they might collapse at any time. Let’s hope so. But until they do we’re losing the war too because Hormuz remains closed and we can’t force it open without a ground invasion. If you don’t understand that everything else you post on this subject is irrelevant.

You’re not good at this. And you’re apparently not very smart. Yes our navy has the power to blockade Hormuz. Not that it helps us. Prior to drone technology our navy had the power to open up Hormuz, though it would have been a bloody affair. Now with the advent of the drone era, our navy by itself cannot open Hormuz; it would have to be supported by a ground invasion. If you don’t understand this then your views on this issue are, as I already surmised, quite worthless.

Yeah that’s the one problem with Magyar: he will continue, even exceed Orban’s hard line against immigration. Which sucks for the Hungarian people. But hopefully they’ll come to reject that too. Xenopjobia is ugly and it doesn’t work. It’s anti-free market, anti-freedom in general. In the end it always loses.

He was more successful in the attempt than Trump has been. But ultimately both men tried and failed.

Not stupid for the people of Hungary I guess.

Not really since we’ve both already lost. https://theiceman.substack.com/p/why-the-most-powerful-navy-in-the

We know. This is why you are the definition of the term “ Useful Idiot”.

Again displaying your ignorance here. The threat to Hornuz from mines was always secondary. The main threat comes from drones from the shoreline. Our navy can’t take control of the strait.

Hegseth doesn’t read anything. He has directed nothing, done nothing. This is a very risky plan IF we carry it out.

The only fool around here is you

Orban concedes. Class move that his protege would never do

For the sake of the poor people of Hungary who have suffered so much in recent years, let’s hope so: https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/12/world/live-news/hungary-election-orban-magyar So embarrassing that JD Vance was there campaigning for Orban. Shameful.

Lol broken clocks and all that. But we don’t know if this is going to happen. For now it’s just talk like most of the crap Trump spews. We don’t know what allies are going to help us. We don’t know if it happens how it will be effective. Blockade is difficult. Also if a Chinese ship tries to go through there are we really prepared to fire on it? Do you guys want to risk World War III over this? The reason I wrote “I dunno” earlier is because this whole thing is extremely risky and quite scary. And it’s very difficult when we have such a mercurial and incompetent guy in charge- for which you and others are responsible. You own this.
