I saw the IRGC in the Strait of Hormuz and they were deploying mines and I saw one of the mines and it looked at me

I’m a firm believer that Trump has a word-of-the-day calendar and sometimes he likes one and throws it in somewhere, and has done this for years if not decades

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago

Okay that is entirely plausibale.

Yeah he didn't even say thank you for your attention on this matter

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 60 points 2 weeks ago

Oh so this is the offramp. Tell Iran to stop doing things it wasn't doing, and then claim you got enough concessions to stop

Just fucken launch the nukes already dude you already fucked up the escalations

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 33 points 2 weeks ago

Being a weird annoying troll on truthsocial until the enemy gets fed up and nukes you, art of the deal baby.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So essentially the only way to appease the guy would be to mine the strait and then immediately remove the mines. Saddam should have kept a little bit of nuclear material around just so UN inspectors would have something to find and tell him to get rid of

Ah, so international politics is just office politics of literally just any other workplace? In software engineering, this is called a duck.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This happens at every level of bureaucracy and is an essential tool to getting by. Always give your boss something small and obvious to correct so you can get away with other stuff. If you wanna smuggle contraband have decoy contraband. Have a vape in a semi hidden place im ykur bag so they don't catch whatever else is there cause once they've found and taken ome thing you seem to be trying to hide, they feel the job is done. Don't fo this for something like a plane, but an overpriced music festival or whatever it works for great if you can't just sneak in

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Whenever I find obvious contraband in Contraband Police I spend the next several ingame hours stripping the car down to the chassis to make sure I don't miss a single thing

TAKE YOUR MINES OFF THE STRAIT AT ONCE YOUNG MAN WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

I know expecting object permanence from a politician is a terrible idea, but wouldn't that make the escort promise issued hours earlier an offer to lead civilian ships into a minefield?

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Best case scenario this is to be able to claim "victory" soon. Because Iran removing any mines they've put in the Hormuz Strait - no matter how many or few - is something he will for sure get in any peace negotiation.

[–] coolusername@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The mines narrative is completely fake. They're using drones and missiles to close the strait. What they're doing is saying that it's mines and showing themselves blowing up ships saying they're mine-laying ships. At the same time they're manipulating oil prices down, at least in the futures market by shorting it. Real shortages are happening and will be even more widespread soon.

[–] copandballtorture@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

Put that mine back where it came from or so help me

He's a child. A little spoiled child. Using our military like a child.

He's using your military like every other evil asshole has used it since WWII.
