Mon Jul 23, 2018, 06:04 AM

Or what would be his first name if he was a Westerner. In North Korea, the first of your three names is your family name. (Kim is the most popular one. Old American GI joke: the easiest job in the Korean Army is calling roll. The sergeant yells “Private Kim,” the entire company yells “here” and the sergeant’s work is done for the day.) The second name is your generational name. He has one brother and one sister. All of them have the syllable Jong in their names, his sister has it as her third name because that’s what they do. The third name (second for girls) is your personal name.

to distract from the investigation and his treasonous behavior. It's in all caps which makes me thing he is completely losing it. I knew it was only a matter of time before he started to threaten Iran.

He needs to be removed from office immediately. He is a threat to the entire planet.

Report
Iran’s Hollow Threats to Close the Strait of Hormuz
Tehran is again trying to use its hold over a key global choke point to pressure Washington and others. But it’s much easier said than done.
By Keith Johnson | May 5, 2016, 3:12 PM

<snip>

The latest Iranian threats echo previous vows to close the Strait of Hormuz, such as those that spooked oil markets in early 2012. Then, however, Iran threatened to slam shut the strait to any oil tankers destined for global markets. In the end, after pushback from U.S. military and diplomatic officials — as well as a stern warning from China’s then-premier, Wen Jiabao — Iran backed off its confrontational rhetoric. It underscored how the saber-rattling is a lot easier said than done.

“Threats are easy to make,” said Anthony Cordesman, a defense analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. But Iran’s naval strategy calls for deployment across the breadth of the Persian Gulf, not to bottle up vulnerable forces in a narrow body of water.

“People keep referring to ‘closing the strait.’ But we’ve got eight years of Iranian exercises that show that’s more an exercise in semantics, than the way Iran organizes to fight. Given the fact that it’s not particularly suicidal, concentrating its assets in the Strait of Hormuz makes no sense at all,” he said.

<snip>


The Iranian patrol boats are no match for the US Navy. Period. They make this threat literally every other year or so. They have never shut it down and when they do the USN keeps it open.

Suicide boats are a terrible way to conduct a military operation. They just don't work.

What to do?

Hey, I've got it! Let's have a nice war!

Every fucking time the people begin to wake up and start winning some rights and talking about using THEIR tax money to do things that actually make their lives better, the big capitalists decide on a war. Because, hey, they will win no matter what. Wars produce lots of profits if you know they are coming, and definitely if you engineered them.

Let's NOT let that happen this time.

I'll bet he has a desire to start a war and has been looking for an excuse.

If we are in an actual war, Russia news will take a back burner and it will be very difficult to remove him.

After this can Rouhani just roll over? He would be shamed. How can he respond?

Trump may have just gotten his wish and a real, and totally unnecessary, war may be coming soon.

This is what we've always feared and I fear that it is here.

HE doesn't put a ban on russians. Yet the Iran leader he's talking trash to him with threats. HE never threatened putin? HE NEVER said lets ban all russians until we get to the bottom of whats going on, or threatened him even after his nuclear display shows his missiles heading towards Florida? More very clear signs trump is a russian asset for putin.
