  • It'd stop them launching ships to lay mines, or launching midget submarines and naval drones, which is a start. It might keep the Iranians too busy fighting on land to aim at ships. It'd basically be an open wound for USA though - completely unsustainable.

    Then there's the fantasy of naval escorts for tankers. Each tanker would require a couple of ships to shadow them (anti-air, anti-sub, anti-drone) for the entire length of the gulf (not just the strait) and in normal times 120 tankers pass through there every day. You'd need a fleet ~400 ships strong, running 24/7 (no repairs or rest). And it only takes one hit from an anti-ship missile and hundreds of sailors die. So that ain't happening.

  • To do that they'd need to occupy 1000+ kms of extremely rugged coast. That's quite a commitment...

  • Sometimes they mean "make the share market go down", while the share market is just a graph of rich people's feelings about the future.

  • The biggest similarity for me is that the govt will wait and wait, too scared to do anything that might "harm the economy". Until it's too late.

  • Knowing whether you have autism or not doesn't change who you are, it gives you knowledge you need to navigate the world better.

  • Why does piefed.zip have an ad for Blorp when I share a link?

    Jump

  • That link preview was generated by your phone. If you look at the sidebar column of https://piefed.zip/ you'll see the text "Why not try a different UI?" is there. That text is used as a meta tag when the page doesn't have any of it's own:

    <meta name="description" content="Why not try a different UI? - [Blorp](https://blorp.piefed.zip/)" />

  • Why are the right-wingers I know so for free speech if they’re just gonna be against free speech when it’s something they don’t like?

    Jump

  • They're not actually for free speech, or freedom in general. The people who brainwash their followers into this shit just use the phrase "free speech" as a tool.
