I get paid to point out the obvious

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@freetotem @wretchardthecat With mines, artillery, and drones. Iran lost, and lost badly. They miscalculated at every opportunity, thought Trump was weak like Obama. Wrong.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

How is the US stuck? We're a net oil exporter. Iran lost their nav, air force, and nuclear weapons program. They're losing $400M in oil revenues each day. Their currency is imploding, fuel is rationed, food is rationed, two levels of leadership blown up. Their army is fighting the IRGC. They are going to bluff then collapse. They are cooked.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

We have the upper hand, if we choose to. The choice is solely ours. We own the Strait, not Iran. Our commercial and naval vessels transit it when we want. Iran's commercial and naval vessels attempt to transit it at their peril, and they do not survive unless we allow it.

Iran believes it can outlast us. That is only true if we quit.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

Do they control the Strait? They can't get their ships through it. They can't stop US tankers and US destroyers from traveling through it. They can't stop US aircraft above it.

The US controls the Strait. Iran can shoot at ships, but only until we get fed up enough to end it. War is a contest of wills. The only way Iran can prevail is if we give up.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@EYakoby This isn't leadership. Leadership means adding a paragraph that states these students will be expelled immediately. Leadership means holding people accountable, not writing a letter.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@FJuvnor @FoxNews @JacquiHeinrich You and people like you are the problem, refusing to accept the fact that you've bought into the irresponsible lies of the out-of-party opposition party. Put up your evidence, or admit that you're wrong.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

Thank God the people who get influenced by the Progressives are amateurs. Even though this guy was intelligent and educated, knowing mechanical engineering and knowing how to pull an assassination off are not the same things, and there's no college classes for the latter... again, thank God.

Maybe the Dems and the media will realize the recklessness of their political rhetoric. One can hope.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@piersmorgan First, we're not going to take the Falkland Islands away from the UK. Second, if we decided to do so, the UK couldn't stop us. Third, the UK needs to worry more about Argentina or its internal problems than its best friend the US. Fourth, the UK can't afford to lose another war.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

Yeah, except for regime decapitation, total destruction of Iran's navy and air force, and the cutoff of all Iranian imports and exports. We even copied your Shahed drones, but make them faster, smarter, and cheaper then yours, and used them to destroy your air defenses. Other than that, nothing.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@hcorvinNYC @willchamberlain The level of intentional naivete is astonishing. Iran agreed to stop enrichment with the JCPOA... how'd that work out? Iran wants nukes, told us they were going nukes and to stuff it, didn't take Trump seriously. Oops.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@UTChargerTom @ELINTNews The Iranians have put satellites in orbit, meaning they can put a warhead in orbit, and bring it out of orbit... and that means they can hit targets around the globe. That we intercepted the missile during boost phase is good on us, not that Iran isn't dangerous. Wake up.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@SmileyElmore @MichaelARothman @myth_pilot Er, to keep the Mullahs from building a Bomb and shoving it on top of one of their ballistic missiles. If they'd built ten Bombs on 10 missiles, what would be the price we'd pay to deal with that?

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

Yep. That's why CA has a net resident emigration to other states, and FL and TX have a net immigration from other states.

Saying something doesn't make it true.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Fox News refuses to report the truth:

Texas and Florida are the REAL high-tax states.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@DanaPerino are you aware of this? Looks like someone's using an AI avatar to pretend to be you. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... even if it's fraudulent.

@waltermasterson It was real. It just was badly made. You were lucky. I knew a guy who was robbed... he told the bad guy the gun didn't look real. He got shot. Again, you were lucky. God looks after fools and small children... which one are you?

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@waltermasterson Even bombthrowers?

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

Why would Trump want to distract from the Democrats' Epstein problems?

[John Cusack @johncusack]

I guess this is making the rounds

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

@hashjenni Iran has threatened to use a nuclear weapon on Jerusalem the day after they complete it. They've threatened the US with a nuclear strike, refused to stop trying to build a Bomb, lied about it, signed agreements and never honored them.

You don't let the crazy neighbor own guns.

[John Clifford @obijohnkenobe]

You do if you're incompetent IRGC idiots.

[zellie @zellieimani]

You don’t accidentally bomb an all girls school with precision missiles.
