[Psamathe]

Can we get new scriptwriters, please? The current lot have run out of ideas, as today's new trailer shows:

I can’t see it happening. My understanding is by all accounts it would be a massive war crime which means it would be an illegal order which would likely mean a significant number of US military refusing to obey, enough that would cause a massive challenge to military authority,

Are there any generals left with the guts/principles to do this? I'm not so sure.

If they did then that would have to be the end of Trump and Hegseth.

Images of 'mystery meat' meals are being taken by USN sailors aboard warships near Iran.
Looks worse than KFC!

Seriously, don't ever do this to sailors or soldiers, they like nothing better than complaining, even more so when there's something worth complaining about!
The air force are not so bad, as long as room service is still available at the Hiliton.

Aw. Bless.

Not so sure. One thing we're not seeing or hearing is the ideological view of on-the-ground commanders, especially senior ones in charge of warships for instance. I am still holding on to the thought there's still some thinking going on outside the political sphere.

That doesn't seem very friendly tbh.

Does it help if I give a 😉 ?

Somewhat. You did come off a bit pompous for a moment.

Anyway, moving on. It's market manipulation Monday tomorrow, what fresh hell awaits?

Don't see how he can spin this one without looking militarily weak.
It's either victory over Iran, the Strait is closed and oil up, or defeat, the Strait open and oil down.

Easy for him to concoct some imaginary story. Remember that his "reason" needs bear no resemblance to reality in this Universe. Truth in no longer a consideration in Trùmp social media.

eg "Iran has been begging me not to attack their bridges and are giving me all their nuclear dust" Reality: Iran has no nuclear dust (they have a good stock of enriched uranium , gas but no dust". Whether enough believe Trúmp is no longer important to Trùmp as long as his delusions are satisfied.

He can lie all he wants. The rest of the world can see if the Strait is open or closed and the world markets will react accordingly.
Wall Street can do as it pleases, believe his BS or face up to reality.

Today, BBC reporting they (USA) have fired upon an Iranian cargo vessel, disabled its navigation system, stopped it and boarded it. Iranians not happy about it.

It did try and run the blockade, after multiple hours of warnings from the US. They disabled the ship, warning the captain to clear the engine room before holing the ship.
