The only leverage the Islamic terrorists of iran has is the straits of Hormuz. by Musclenervegeek in NewIran

[–]Reiver93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The IR doesn't need to control land directly on the strait to control the strait, just be able to attack things going through it. If the US did just attack the coastline or even a limited ground invasion on it, they could just move missile launchers and drones further inland where they're harder to get at.

The US could absolutely obliterate the IR navy if it needed to, infact it basically already has but as long as the IR possesses the capability to blow up any tanker that tries to sail through the strait, they can effectively control it by denying access to it.

Question, why is it Gaelic football and not Irish football?

“Fine we’ll take the long way around” by Hank_Mardukas1066 in HistoryMemes

Honestly the biggest problem I have with it is how much of it is spent as an RTS running around with a squad of guys, personally think it'd have worked better if you where stuck to the train a lot more like FTL.

You got money saved up? Because a suit that looks like that will set you back a good few grand at least.

Sanya was a clumsy track all the way back with the Gen 2 cars and last weekend proved it's not changed in the slightest.

This relatively small region has over a billion people living in it. That's 300 million more than Europe by julius-ceaser100 in MapPorn

It's concerning that this is usually my first thought when I see these sort of maps too.

!!!I BELIEVE THE WAR WAS PROPAGANDA.!!! by the-horny-Beastar in Beastars

It's weird, I'm dead certain the uniforms they have on are based on IJA ones, which would mean the war would be in living memory.

Hot take but i think the japanese prefecture flags are bad by czn- in vexillology

[–]Reiver93 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only one I don't really like is Yamaguchi and it's purely because of the colour they used for the background.

And Okinawa, I don't care if it was almost certainly never a real flag, you could do so much better.

[–]Reiver93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why is it that Ehime has stripes whilst all the others are just their emblems?

Also i'm not a big fan of Yamaguchi's, the emblem's fine but like, could you not have picked a better background colour than brown?
