The Strait of Hormuz is 90 miles long, but only 21 miles wide. Irans Waters are 12 miles and Oman’s are 12 miles. See the problem with that math. 

We’ve pretty always pushed Freedom of Navigation there. 

Like the US, Iran has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, so does not recognize the 12 mile limits.

The way we'd normally deal with that is to assist anyone that wanted to push back.

Russia stop paying these two clowns or something? They get a better offer from Ukraine? 

My immediate reaction to your post was to recoil at the thought of those two being actual right wing influencers and not just fringe grifters, but the line between those two things is so blurred anymore I can't really argue the point.

Their "new" take is the standard conservative position, to pushback on russia's forceful expansion. We've not been doing a good enough of a job with that for....decades, so it continues. But, that flop is a major issue with people en masse abandoning their ideology in favor of idolatry. It turns otherwise reasonable people into extremely slow learners.

Loomer calls herself a journalist, Tim Pool got his start covering occupy Wall Street if I'm not mistaken. 

As Weege says, if you're payin' I'm sayin'

(I think that's originally a Ralph Shaheen thing)

I’m interested in watching the Shawn Ryan and Tucker Carlson video coming out today. 

Yet, don’t get me wrong, I believe they’re both CIA stooges.

It won't end soon and that's bad but if it does end soon that might be worse.

The Shawn Ryan episode with Candace Owens made my skin crawl. She’s definitely on the payroll from Moscow, and she’s also bat shit crazy…..

……and it’s just getting worse. Really, really liked Tucker on Fox. After about his first three shows on his own, I quit watching. 

Shawn Ryan was by far my favorite of the bunch. He had guests and talked about things I could relate with. The last month, I can’t stomach the Dude. 

Shawn is a former CIA Operator. Tucker’s father was a CIA Agent. Everybody, is doing a bunch of weird shit right now. Can’t call it, but I know when things look fucked up, they’re probably more fucked up than they appear.

I still like to listen to Ryan most of the time. He seems pretty gullible about some of the outlandish claims made by the people he’s interviewing, but that’s just a style thing I think. 

Guest: I saw Elvis in the Oval Office in 2004! 
Ryan: No shit! That’s amazing! 

Never cared for Carlson before, still don’t now. The new SNL impression of him is absolutely spot on, though!

I stand corrected!  The footage, especially the flames, look like a really cool FPS game to me.  

Whoever is making those shots is incredible if they are able to do it more than once.  Calculating your own plane's speed and the target's speed at the same time would be hard enough with a fixed gun, it seems like it should be exponentially more difficult with a gun like that.

Yeah. How many times has someone said “I almost joined (fill in the blank)”. I mean, military service ain’t top of mind for most 18-24 year olds. I do get tired of chest-thumping folks who are gung ho about military campaigns while their kids are chasing dollars or chicks but not raising their right hands.  It’s always someone else’s children doing the dirty work.

Honestly, had i not known this was a thing they did in these way back when, I would have said the same thing. The flame and smoke looked pretty suspect.
