What? We have bombed the S**T our of the place and Iran is still controlling the Strait of Hormuz

 

"a flock of geese vs a horde of gnats."



What will it take to convince ship captains itis safe to cross the strait.

Insight into Putin ultimatum OR...campaign ad for Dem NC Governor candidate Roy Cooper

 #Russia #Iran #Ukraine

 Putin offers to stop helping Iran with targeting info if the US stops backing Ukriaine and / or supports sanctions relief.


Sen. Joni Ernst says all the troop movements are for "Leverage!?!?!"


And then a somewhat dizzying leap to US domestic politics, which definitely do belong in the picture.

Lauren Boebert says she won't vote for a supplemental!

Shouldn't Congress be asked for a war powers resolution BEFORE they get asked for no money?


There is #AmericaFirst like Boebert. Or from another person, "let's steal it from Iran."


Video channel is pretty ranty but a wholesome alternative to all the voices demanding more or this or more of that. 




Mobile Internet Blackout in Moscow. Why?

#Russia #Ukraine #Iran  

Details of 2-week long mobile internet blackout in Moscow but not in surrounding areas

Reasons official explanation does not hold water

Speculation about what is possibly the motive, including both hosting Iranian Supreme Leader and paranoid fear of popular uprising.

Also worth understanding if other governments want total control of information environment.

Oh No. Russia running out of drones, and Ukraine is becoming a world leader

This references a clip by Russian propagandist and loudmouth Vladimir Solovyov. RantWoman may or may not go find it.

This video nicely summarizes a number of current realities in the world of drone warfare.

Words from the Secretary of War CRIMES


#SEcDef 

RantWoman is picking some thematic clumps of videos. with some commentary 



The Department of DEFENSE wants $200 billion dollars for its war of choice. Meanwhile aircraft carriers are sitting ducks and the USS Gerald R Ford is already so overstressed by a long deployment that there are memes of it sinking even though the flames in question are a laundry fire. The F-35 heat signature has been identified so more planes can be hit. And million-dollar interceptors can be disable with $20,000 drones.

If it were up to RantWoman, RantWoman would want $10 for diplomacy and social programs for every $1 of defense spending. RantWoman is also not commenting  about general threads about "if only we had this or that military capability..." when Iran is doing TONS of damage with $20,000 drones. There is also the whole question of what is the US doing in the first place and are bombs the best way to do it?

So give the Pentagon MORE money? How about hard nope. Spend $10 dollars on depomacy for every dollar fed to ....
