I hope he does this. How humiliating would that be for those who signed up to ask people to remove watches, empty pockets, separate laptops, and throw away water bottles for eight hours a day.
Holy shit, it's perfect. We're spending millions on them either way. Better they confiscate my wife's hand lotion than somebody's family member.
Masked agents reminding people they no longer need to remove their shoes. Amazing.

Well, he's already won, is winning, and needs reinforcements for the Strait of Hormel. That sweet Spam is stuck in the Gulf of America.
I'd rather be throwing darts.

Holy shit, it's all going through the looking glass.

Trump lifted sanctions on Iranian oil to ease prices, which is essentially buying commodities from your war opponent.

Iran is threatening to destroy its own oil infrastructure to sabotage the oil market if the US escalates further.

War for oil is weird.

We all joked about Bush being dumb, but at least he seemed to understand his limitations and surrounded himself with (evil) but competent people.

This is pure FAAFO nonsense. None of them actually understand the reality of what’s they’re doing. I’m pretty sure Trump just assumed the public would immediately get behind this, that key allies/client states like the UK would be in for a penny in for a pound. That Iran would just fold internally like Venezuela. Now they’re in what shouldn’t exist, an air war quagmire.

There was no plan, just a thought that Trump could keep bending reality around himself. Well, reality is slapping all of them in the face. I imagine he’ll suddenly pull out, leave the Iranian people to the wizards that run the country. The reprisals have already started with announcements of public executions of “traitors”.

God wept.
All of this is just infuriating to me. It's blatantly apparent Trump went with this because he is used with getting away with everything he does and has intellectual skills of a daft 7 year old. "If operation in Venezuela was successful there is no reason why an operation in Iran should be different and you don't you tell me that one single strait can be a problem, what is a strait compared to our beautiful military power", kind of thinking, only his mind wouldn't produce a sentence this long.

US lifting sanctions on Iranian oil is just pure absurdity.

CNN wrote: Iran’s threat: Iran’s military declared it is ready to close the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely if US President Donald Trump carries out a threat to bomb its power plants

What a shit show.

I’m curious if this triggers building a pipeline to bypass the straits.

Honestly thou, way the fuck are we still clinging onto hydrocarbons instead of moonshoting to renewables. Well, we know why, lobbying.

Holding two ideas in your head on this conflict is entirely logical.

War = dumb/bad

Iranian theocracy = dumb/bad

Some online left teenager getting “owned” on not getting this seems a pretty low bar to cross.

It's also ICE Airport Takeover Monday!

What do we think will happen? Close the borders? Extra harassment of incoming travelers? Shooting more "disobedient" citizens?

The possibilities are grimly endless
