The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
It doesn’t mean there are not shady actors either. The US has been tampering with other country’s elections for decades or more. Certifiable fact. We’re expert at it.
Is it that much of a stretch to believe those same actors might use those same skills here when it matters to them?
@texasflutegal@itsrosesm So? Who is paying for maintenance and upkeep and operating costs?
Also what are those private donors expecting in exchange for this big money?
