    Huh so forget China vaporizing every carrier battle group within range instantly, Iran could also do this, according to the Pentagon…

    Did they use this to ask for more money???

      The Straight of Hormuz has always been a known death-trap for the American surface fleet. It’s narrow enough that it could easily be saturated with anti-shipping missiles, mines, or small boats armed with missiles or suicide payloads. The credible threat of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz has been an important factor in imperialist planning since '79.

      I edited my original comment now, so you can read that for what they did, they re ran the simulation and changed the rules so America would win.

      And then they asked for more money lol.
