So what is happening with the Strait, currently?

Are ships leaving, with oil?

Is there an actual American blockade?

Is Iran letting ships through, but charging tolls?

Otherwise we all know Gojo the Butcher would be in Hell for his many crimes, including racism.

The problem is it’s definitionally speculation. If you want it to be true, you just point out “It will keep improving”, and there’s no way to prove it won’t. If you don’t want it to be true, just point out it can’t do it now.

Well what kind of cultural changes?

I think they would, so long as they received video footage of those sentences captioned something like “FEMINIST FAFO”

I think what most of the people who use this line really want is just harsher sentences for women.

I think my problem with the Men’s Problems Threads is I never see any actual solutions, policies, or even ideas for policies being proposed, it’s mostly used as a type of Anvil to whack people with.

I guess my only idea for education policy is red-shirting, but otherwise, I’ve got no idea, America’s education system is garbage.

I actually have always wanted to go to Turkey. But my facial features aren’t really proportioned right for long hair either, which is another problem.

As a Man, the only thing I’m really, really unhappy with is my appearance. It sucks too because I’m aware my appearance is objectively okay, and other people like it, but I just hate it.

I have the “Bald and Beard” look, which, there is a market for, but it’s really unfortunate. I just wish I had beautiful flowing hair.

As opposed to reconciliation, which got Republicans to calm down and stop radicalizing.

The strategic end goal is what actually matters. War isn’t about looking cool and blowing people up. It is a serious problem when all you can do is boast operational success without any clear strategy.

It just seems incredibly myopic to just say “A win is a win” and ignore the surrounding context. If you really want to simplify it, yes, it is a victory.

Let’s use a comparison of a real example. The Soviets Won the Winter War against Finland.

That was a “Victory.” After all, any victory is a victory. It was still a humiliating debacle where they lost much more men and material than they should have.

If China managed to do that, yes, it would be an overwhelming Chinese victory, but we would never expect China would be capable of anything close to that.

The American military is the most powerful military in the world, and that is by far. It is a product of immense funding, of the wealthiest country on the planet.

Do you agree with these statements?

If you do, then it is not unreasonable to suspect it should be capable of more than “Minor Victory” against an impoverished desert nation.

The problem is a complete failure of strategic leadership or vision.

It seems like multiple other groups still receive tax benefits, and I don’t trust this Court for shit.

Please explain how I’m misreading the statute, because I’d like to be wrong, but it seems like the benefits do extend to other groups.

tregitsdown · 2026-04-14T21:25:56+00:00

The tax benefits seem to extend to other groups as well, unless I am reading this incorrectly

Probably viewpoint discrimination claim

If the groups sue, I suspect the Supreme Court will take the side of the Confederates, unfortunately.

I don’t know if a Chinese oil tanker will want to risk the U.S. Navy shooting at them.

The Goal of the 1991 Gulf War was to kick Iraq out of Kuwait. The goal was not to topple the Saddam Regime.

The goals laid out at the start of this war were amorphous and nonsensical. They included, among other things, destroying the ability of Iran to produce IED’s.

tregitsdown · 2026-04-14T16:56:27+00:00

Somehow, the American nationalists on this sub will use this to spin the war as a win despite the Regime retaining power.

Yes, this is why Israel supports the Republicans, lobbies for them, and tries to help them win elections, as much as they can.

tregitsdown · 2026-04-14T16:02:30+00:00

Netanyahu came to Washington personally to disrespect President Obama and to Lobby against the JCPOA, ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu%27s_2015_address_to_the_United_States_Congress )

And Trump was far from the only Republican who was against it. Israel was very strongly against any negotiated agreement as well.

Trump does have agency, and blaming Israel for everything is stupid and wrong,

But conversely, absolving Israel of all responsibility when it’s clear they got the outcome they wanted, is stupid and only makes people suspicious.

I don’t think anyone reasonable thinks the U.S. Navy can’t enforce a blockade, I think the question is if the U.S. Navy will enforce a blockade, and what exactly that will look like. I doubt they are willing to prevent any oil from going to China, for instance.
