RantWoman takes a realist view of videos such as this one. It is useful to know how other people think even if one disagrees with multiple implied premises.
#Iran #StraitOfHormuz
RantWoman is presenting coverage from sources she considers well-informed. Presenting information is not necessarily endorsement of specific policy recommendations.
Random takeaways:
President #StableGenius is bonkers. For example US Merchant Marine academy cadets stuck on ships in the Persian Gulf.
One reference to something US troops MIGHT be doing
Ship passage appears to be in national territorial waters, Iran to the N and someone else to the S.

Sal says it could take MONTHS to straighten out the impact on world trade of having the Strait of Hormuz closed as long as it has been.

#NuclearWeapons

And who has $200 BILLION for more #WarOfChoice in the middle east?
Ben Cohen NAILS IT. No joke
RantWoman finds this gesture hilarious on multiple counts.
#MiddleEast #Excursion
If a country has a little excursion that goes all "kinetic," but leaves a bunch of very expensive military hardware out in sight of satellites and much cheaper drones....
Can you spot the arguments that might be made for more, more, more defense spending?
