Pretty much told the Russians we’ve left the lights on for them if they fancy a trip south with their fleet.

Yeah, amazing system, sky-high inflation, stagnant wages, insane taxes, and businesses leaving because labour costs and regulations are so high. But sure, at least the paperwork is great.

Here’s a clear explanation of why Trump attacked Iran, and why I think the war will end soon.
The war isn't about nuclear weapons. It's not about helping the Iranian people. It’s not about doing Israel’s bidding. And it's not about Iran being a threat to the U.S.
It's about China.
China imports 45-57% of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has the capacity to shut it down.
A U.S.-aligned Iran means an Iran that would choke off that strait if there's ever a real power struggle between Washington and Beijing.
And there already is one.
The U.S. and China have been locked in a tariff war for over a year now.
Also remember when China threatened export controls on rare earths, encompassing any company anywhere in the world that uses Chinese rare earths?
Yes, China essentially said that any company that uses their rare earths (China refines 85-90% of the world’s supply) must seek their permission before exporting their products.
This means if a German manufacturer uses rare earths fro China to create chips for American companies, China can block the export of these chips.
That’s how much leverage China has over the U.S., and that’s dangerous, especially if China finally decides to reunify with Taiwan.
So controlling the Strait of Hormuz becomes critical for the U.S.
It's the same reason Trump wants China out of the Panama Canal. The same reason Venezuela matters.
The same reason he's eyeing Greenland, where shipping routes to China pass through melting Arctic ice.
Energy is everything now. The AI arms race is the most important strategic competition on the planet.
Limiting China's access to energy is how the U.S. wins that race, and anyone who believes in freedom and democracy should want America to win.
China is investing heavily in domestic energy, building nuclear reactors, solar farms, wind power. They're leapfrogging the rest of the world.
But they still import the majority of their oil. And a significant chunk of it comes through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran was reportedly nearing a deal for supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles from China, which would make it easier for Iran to threaten shipping in the Strait and strike U.S. naval vessels.
That accelerated the timeline.
Trump's comment today about doing in Iran what he did in Venezuela makes perfect sense in this context. He wants influence over who comes next.
A regime that's workable for Washington.
If he succeeds, this would be a massive strategic win for the U.S. and for Trump.

Gotta give it to the Jews, they follow the censor and gag orders very well. Such an iron clad control on information.
Wish we had that back in May Indo-Pak war. Everyone and their nan was recording and spamming troop and equipment movements.

They are very good at OPSEC, there is no doubt about this.
At least they got involved, the u.s. never set foot to help others, they'd only bomb from afar..... ask the Koreans, the French and many others...

lmao Workers rights are so great when the economy can't support it. The UK has high costs, low productivity, and stagnant growth. Rights doesn't mean much if businesses stop hiring or wages barely move. Yeah at least we have workers right I guess

If all Iraqi Civilians riot against the US embassy and all Iraqi Armed Militia intensify strikes on US bases there supported by the occasional fire support from Iranian drone strikes, then Insha-Allah we can chase out the US from Iraq.
