So in 25 years?

Besides, Iran is all the way over there and Cuba is right here

Rattlesnakes and alligators!

What do you mean Mark Zuckerbot isn’t perfect?

The virtual zuck however would be in the board meeting and agree for the meat zuck to expel him

My hope was that Tisza would be 1 or 2 seats away from the super majority and there would be another opposition party (non orban, non nationalist) in parliament to actually be there to stamp things

You’re telling me the same guys that made up…- erm I mean, created the fifa peace prize would refuse to move the World Cup from a host that started a war? surprised pickachu

When I said somewhat smart the emphasis was on somewhat, and I meant, the least dumb option that he was likely to take (am not counting just exiting, cause he is who he is)

If they were even somewhat smart, they’d be blocking just Iranian shipping.

Still less dumb and less war crimes than bombing civilian infrastructure

Try to think like the great dumbass for a minute:

Iran has said they want to keep the toll system in place after the war

Therefore if you just leave now, everyone will be very mad at you at toll

Therefore only way out is escalating. An invasion is expensive, unpopular, and unlikely to work. They’re already bombing Iran, so not that.

What remains is a naval blockade. Because they’re dumbasses, they didn’t just decide to block Iranian shipping, but instead essentially block all remaining shipping.

It’s less dumb than other options, and less war crimes and killing civilians

Question is, if you’re Ronald McDonald and simply pull out, and Iran keeps asking for a toll, you just get a pure loss. A blockade is the only way, that maybe, you can improve your negotiating position for “cheap”. It will backfire for sure though

Obviously the smart play was not to invade at all
