Op-Ed Speculation (Interesting but totally biased.)--- It leaves out the entire range of adversarial options. Typical Hegseth style.

Iran's Next Move Decides Everything: Every Iranian Port Will Be Closed by the U.S. Navy.

The U.S. Navy has shut down every Iranian port. No vessel of any nation enters or leaves. CENTCOM says non-Iranian traffic can still transit the Strait. The USS Tripoli has 2,000 Marines, F-35Bs, and Ospreys ready. If Iran fires back, the war restarts immediately.

@ManyRoads So again Trump and Israel get to be the ultimate world bullies. Really dumb and vile “war”. Apparently the ones who suffer don’t really matter. And any harm to Americans on the mainland via increase prices, lack of availability, and inflation will be a slow, creeping harm bringing its own horror because some ultra rich “need” more money and control. Oh, and the religious crusade facade is happy to “bring it” because their God is on their side. Fun times.

@cobalt123 This of course all begs the question of which of their gods are important- greed- self-aggrandizement- avarice- hate - Baal ????

@ManyRoads Whatever suits the purpose of public drama. Sure is unlikely most Americans have the same worship except for those who have delighted in power over lesser humans.

@ManyRoads Isn’t it nicely democratic all of us have the opportunity to be a lesser human at some point?

Hmmm, maybe I need to rethink. Dang, maybe I better align with people who are showing up now as forceful leaders who are surely going to make America great again! Yay, that’s the smart move.

@cobalt123 I always try to go for the stupid-simple approach. Identify the least bad option and vote for them...

@ManyRoads Pretty sad that yes, this is what American adults have to do. Quite different than what I was taught in school decades ago. Yes, each vote still counts. But. I wish once in a while I could vote for an election for a winning candidate I’m proud of.

Maybe I’m just jealous NYC got a winner, while as a resident in AZ, (sigh)…

SAD, that #jillstein and some others tool vote a away, there was no #rankedvoting

In 3 States, it was kinda close and when you realize about 10 million ⭕ #registeredvoters DID NOT vote, one asks why? Proof that "each vote still counts"

So, folks.... check if you're still registered https://www.vote.org/
