@kellyboltonyes@CENTCOM Rambo was an action movie. The Marines, in reality, bring a level of aggressiveness and violence to a level that makes Rambo look like a knitting club by comparison.
U.S. Marines conduct close-quarters tactics training aboard USS Tripoli (LHA 7) as the amphibious assault ship sails in the Arabian Sea. During training evolutions like these, embarked Marines hone their skills for missions such as maritime interception operations. Tripoli is currently executing a mission to blockade ships entering and departing Iranian ports. The blockade is being enforced impartially against vessels of all nations.
@Jerusalem_Post Not the best decision should the Houthis interfere. The US and others have mapped every leader and offensive system. Meanwhile, the USS Bush is merely hours away.
Iran's top joined military command, and Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) have said Iran's armed forces will act to prevent the continuation of trade flows in the Red Sea if the blockade against Iranian vessels continues.
@UkrReview@Maks_NAFO_FELLA What would the Europeans expect after refusing to assist their most powerful protector. The Europeans have enjoyed the blanket of security provided by the US and are about to experience the consequences of disloyalty. Perhaps Europe should reevaluate their position.
🇪🇺🇺🇸 European countries have stepped up discussions on a backup plan within NATO in case the United States reduces its role or withdraws from the Alliance. Comments by Trump have raised doubts about the reliability of security guarantees.

@glued_tortoise@Maks_NAFO_FELLA For instance, when the UK and France say they will send minesweepers to the SOH once it’s safe is like offering water to a fireman when the fire is already extinguished. I’d hope that European leaders act with dispatch with a newfound sense of loyalty very soon.
@NFTJFA@Maks_NAFO_FELLA That question is easily answered in our history, if you know its length, which surpasses yours, should be enough.
We had far more blood in our soil to show that when it is needed we fight. Can you say the same for you? How many times were you attacked and fought back?
🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦 Zelensky: If the United States is really thinking about leaving NATO, then Europe’s security will be based solely on the European Union. But not in its current form. I think the EU is in a situation where it needs additional countries.
UK, Ukraine, Turkey and Norway. These are four strong countries that are part of Europe. Together, the armies of Great Britain, Ukraine and Turkey are stronger than Russia’s. Without Ukraine and Turkey, Europe cannot match Russia. With these four countries, you can control the seas, have protected skies and the largest land forces.
This is not about an offensive, because when Russia decides to have an army of 2.5 million people by 2030, Europe has to think about security and how to maintain its independence. Great Britain was once a member of the European Union.
There are concerns about agriculture in the case of Turkey. But all this can be dealt with if the economy is really strong. However, security comes first, and the economy comes second. Not the other way around.
@glued_tortoise@Maks_NAFO_FELLA And while Europes history is well noted, what matters is what’s happening today…not yesterday. Americans are a happy, generous and just people who value loyalty over transactional relationships over all else. I fear European inaction will have consequences for years to come.
@glued_tortoise@Maks_NAFO_FELLA The US has been the beacon of freedom for 250 years fighting against tyranny and injustice in every corner of Earth including Europe. Iran was perilously close to acquiring a nuke. The US stopped them while Europe stood silent and caved to their immigrant and liberal base.
@nypost Oops! She’s a signals officer by trade…not a combat arms officer trained, educated, and experienced with massive joint, interagency, and international integration. Her background demonstrates a bent towards equity instead of meritocracy…not good in warfare.
@PatsSoxFreedom@Peacemaker811@nypost Yes, what are her qualifications and what makes her eminently qualified for the position, especially facing an inevitable Chinese threat in which Australia will be on the front lines.
@ManotoNews As usual, the French are all talk, no action, but happy for others to do the heavy lifting so they may enjoy the benefits. Under Trump, if countries like France want the benefits they have to put in the work. No freeloading.
امانوئل مکرون در پستی در ایکس اعلام کرد روز گذشته با مسعود پزشکیان و دونالد ترامپ گفتوگو کرده و خواستار ازسرگیری مذاکرات متوقفشده در اسلامآباد، رفع سوءتفاهمها و جلوگیری از تشدید بیشتر تنش شده است.
او اضافه کرد آتشبس باید از سوی همه طرفها بهطور کامل رعایت شود و لبنان را نیز در بر بگیرد. آقای مکرون همچنین خواستار بازگشایی فوری تنگه هرمز بدون هیچگونه محدودیت یا عوارض شد و گفت در این صورت، مذاکرات میتواند با حمایت طرفهای اصلی بهسرعت از سر گرفته شود.
او افزود فرانسه و بریتانیا روز جمعه این هفته نیز کنفرانسی را در پاریس با حضور کشورهای غیر درگیر برگزار میکنند تا درباره تشکیل یک ماموریت چندجانبه و صرفا دفاعی برای بازگرداندن آزادی کشتیرانی در تنگه گفتوگو شود.
@RadioFarda_ France and the UK offer nothing but meetings, consultations, more meetings to set meetings and consultations while waiting for g for someone else to do the heavy lifting. Useless.
رئیسجمهور فرانسه میگوید روز دوشنبه با مسعود پزشکیان، همتای ایرانی خود، و دونالد ترامپ، رئیسجمهور آمریکا، گفتوگو کرده و خواستار ازسرگیری مذاکرات میان واشینگتن و تهران و همچنین توقف هرگونه تشدید تنش شده است.
امانوئل مکرون روز سهشنبه ۲۵ فروردین در پیامی در شبکهٔ اجتماعی ایکس با اشاره به اینکه آتشبس میان طرفین باید بهطور کامل از سوی همه طرفها رعایت شود و لبنان را نیز دربر بگیرد، افزود: «همچنین بسیار مهم است که تنگه هرمز هرچه سریعتر و بدون هیچگونه محدودیت یا عوارضی، بیقید و شرط بازگشایی شود».
او گفت: «در چنین شرایطی، مذاکرات باید بتواند به سرعت و با حمایت بازیگران اصلی از سر گرفته شود.
رئیسجمهور فرانسه تصریح کرد: «فرانسه و بریتانیا این جمعه در پاریس کنفرانسی برگزار خواهند کرد که از طریق ویدئوکنفرانس، کشورهای غیر درگیر در جنگ را که آمادهاند در کنار ما به یک مأموریت چندجانبه و صرفاً دفاعی با هدف بازگرداندن آزادی کشتیرانی در تنگه کمک کنند، گرد هم خواهد آورد».
تنگه هرمز از زمان آغاز حملات آمریکا و اسرائیل به ایران در ۹ اسفند، از سوی سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی به روی بسیاری از کشتیها و شناورها بسته شده و تنها شمار معدودی از نفتکشها و کشتیهای متعلق به «کشورهای دوست» ایران توانستهاند از آن عبور کنند.
اختلال در زنجیره تأمین انرژی و سایر محصولات نظیر هلیوم، کودهای شیمیایی و محصولات پتروشیمی موجب افزایش شدید قیمت نفت و گاز و همچنین کمبود کالاهای استراتژیک در جهان شده است.

@indypersian While all these nations chat about the need to open the straits, none except for the US are willing to actually commit to opening it. These countries are waiting for someone else to do the heavy lifting.
@glued_tortoise@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Americans realize that Iran must be defeated lest they become a bigger global oppressor than they have over these 47 years. America is doing the fighting and dying so the global community doesn’t have to live in fear. Meanwhile, Europeans are neither grateful or helpful.
@glued_tortoise@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Americans scrap for everything earned, and aggressively protective of earned rights and fiercely proud of self sufficiency. Americans, know a government big enough to give you what you need is big enough to take it away. Americans identity is the country and founding principles.
@glued_tortoise@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Do Europeans possess the same “fire” as Americans? Are Europeans willing to risk everything for freedom like Americans or are they just willing to “go with the flow” and hope they won’t be oppressed too badly?
@NFTJFA@Maks_NAFO_FELLA I can agree or disagree on such views yet, there are no perfect solutions in managing a country. If you are happy to live under such rules, fine. The same way, we are also happy to live under our own rules. I see no point into trying to push who's right or wrong.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just lit a fuse — calling for the complete elimination of PROPERTY TAXES nationwide.
“Homeowners are basically forced to pay rent to the government just to live on their own property. That’s wrong,” DeSantis said. “It’s time to fix it.”
Do you firmly Support this?
A. Huge yes
B. No
