@secretsqrl123 @MalcolmNance 8000 civs? Pah. Merely a tiny fraction of the 200k dead Iraq civs. It's "a sacrifice you demonstrated to be prepared to make" #Progress

@MalcolmNance i dont see taking the northern sector in a hr unless we want to kill 8000 civilians. if we dont flatten this it will be days or weeks of fighting.

As a former paratrooper, if I had the chance to jump into Kharg Island without corps support or ships behind me, I would pass. There is NO SUPPORT coming from the mainland to cover them if that is the target. patriots cant shoot that far AH64s can't fly that far little birds can't fly that far Reapers are easy to shoot down ATACMs are too big to go after most targets we have NO ships there Any Gulf state ships do not have modern air defense.

@Wilkmans @secretsqrl123 Why? To increase profits of US energy exporters?

@secretsqrl123 And why take it? To deny Iran a port for oil exports? The US has lifted sanctions on Iranian oil because it lowered the price of oil. So WHY would the US remove exports of Iranian oil, when they simultaneously lifted sanctions on Iranian oil?

can we take kharg island. YES can we hold it YES will it cost us dearly, yes

@secretsqrl123 Get ready for Madyar-style 'last second' videos, but with a different ethnicity visible in stop-frames

@nexta_tv ... With what ships? Are you dreaming of Nelson days, grandma? Time for your mashed potatoes

UK prepares coalition in the Strait of Hormuz The United Kingdom plans to lead an international coalition to restore shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The plan is being developed with France, but it will not work without U.S. support. According to media reports, civilian vessels may be used to locate and neutralize Iranian mines. These ships would be equipped with remote and autonomous drones for demining operations. London is also considering refitting military ships for such missions. According to U.S. estimates, Iran may have deployed up to 12 mines in the strait.

@Basebollligan @secretsqrl123 The arrogant kings of the world need a good humble

@secretsqrl123 I'm worried about their protection or lack of it from FPV drones.

IF we are going to do this we need to start moving the 82nd.. not a brigade, the whole fucking division. the XVIII AIRBORNE corps support units, 10 mountain division, the entire div. the 2nd marine brigade III corps support 1st CAV or other 3 brigade heavy division 1 brigade of the 101st the aviation brigade of the 101st 1 national guard motorized brigade army reserve support brigade supporting SF group, and ranger battalion if we want to get ready to win, we need AT LEAST this much ground force.. then we need to have a mirror force in the US prepping to replace this force in under 1 year so we already have a rotation ready to go if losses go up or this lasts again if we are going to do this we at least need a force on the ground that is a real threat.

@Richboothe @aipbaybee @brenjtom @TolkienWorldG ... damn, I was not aware that 'no' has become lost nowadays

@aipbaybee @Proglameris @brenjtom @TolkienWorldG No = “number” in this context, from the ablative form of Latin word “numerus” which is “numero”. I’m guessing you’re younger than thirty years old and have never seen “N°” in a printed newspaper.

BREAKING🚨: PETER JACKSON announces NEW Lord of the Rings movie!!! Focusing on Chapters 3-8 of The Fellowship of the Ring!!

@lan_kenshi @CAMELCASTOff It *takes* knowledge to insidiously, subtly corrupt the topic. Brute, ignorant butchering is obvious and invites easy rejection

@CAMELCASTOff At least Colbert is a Tolkien scholar. If he messes it up it won't be for lack of knowledge about middle earth.

This feels like one of those satire posts. I looked at it for 5 minutes straight to see if it was satire. I'm stunned.

@LjIzTheCrew @J0hnADouglas His lore knowledge will simply let him choose the *best* pieces of it to corrupt with #Modernity and his usual schoolmarm lecturing

@J0hnADouglas Well he's probably the best person to have do it, man's knowledge of the lore is better than the people who consulted on the movies, they tested that, you just don't like him

They gave Stephen Colbert the reigns of a Tolkien sequel? I take it back, can he stay on late night? At least that will contain his cringe to something culturally insignificant

@FiveBaggers @RetroCoast Why can't you believe it? They represent the United States of Israel, after all. Logical!

@RetroCoast I cannot believe they sent two jews to negotiate with Iran. Insane.

Breaking: Iran refuses to negotiate further with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff Says Trump must send new emissaries WTF were these two clowns doing negotiating with Iran in the first place?

@winesmithing @disparutoo Paramount can pull a "Batgirl" and *shelve* the made movie. Would actually be best: make them expend effort and then delete it

@disparutoo Praying Paramount can get rid of him

Warner Brothers be like, look how much money we can burn before Paramount take over

@RottenTomatoes Nice: once the movie outdoes Rings of Power in ridiculousness and #Modernity, nobody will ever bring up Colby's autistic LOTR trivia thingy ever again #SelfNeutralizing

Stephen Colbert will co-write the upcoming #LordOfTheRings film 'Shadow of the Past,' alongside Philippa Boyens and Peter McGee. The film will cover six chapters in the 'The Fellowship of the Ring.'

@aipbaybee @Richboothe @brenjtom @TolkienWorldG AI is your friend

@Richboothe @Proglameris @brenjtom @TolkienWorldG How do I look up the no?

@j4mbodotcom @iamrobothead Bah... you're out of date. Elanor will #BlackWidow the baddie using her superior muscles on her 50kg body of steel. While wearing a Hillary pantsuit and giggling like Kamala

@iamrobothead Somehow Sauron returned...Elanor yelled "I am all the fellowship" as she cast the new one ring into Mt Doom.

Spoiler, As a subtle inside joke, Colbert wants to call the bad guy DTrump. And every page of the script is a long rant about how the orange haired DTrump is evil. There is also a subplot about sending the Orcs back to Orcmania. It's all very clever and sophisticated.

@Nerdrotics They made the LOTR motion capture guy a director of one of the derivative movies already. Who's gonna helm this one, the floor cleaner from LOTR?

Fuck no

@ManaByte Ragebaiter complaining about rage baiters #MirrorMirror

The rage bait lemmings in the comments are too stupid to know that Colbert knows more about Tolkien than most “professional” Tolkien scholars. Sounds like this is a movie with Tom Bombadil.

@aipbaybee @brenjtom @TolkienWorldG We all know that all anyone needs to write a movie is to know the source material /s Fanboy=pro screenwriter 👍🏻 (lookup the no of actual writers on his past shows before you trot out the 'he is a writer!' fallacy)

@brenjtom @TolkienWorldG Yall know nothing about Colbert, like the most famous LOTR fan who can answer any trivia question you would ask him

@jcrichman @CultureCrave ... Wanna bet who the bad guys will accidentally resemble? Remember his one and only topic of his dying show?

@CultureCrave I don't like Colbert, but he loves Lord of the Rings. That's more than anyone else involved in a major franchise has offered in many years. Could be really good.

New 'Lord of the Rings film is in development ⚔️ • Working title is 'Shadow of the Past' • Stephen Colbert, his son, and franchise vet Philippa Boyens are co-writing the script • Will go into production after 'The Hunt for Gollum' Official synopsis: “Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo — Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began"

@j4mbodotcom @CultureCrave A rich old guy is out of job and needs a hobby. Why not write a Colbert Report version of LOTR - with a son that has a different surname? #Bonding

@CultureCrave Imagine burning billions on rings of power and still not learning any lessons from it.

@sagathena There's no shame in your game - and worse, no awareness of it

If there was a litmus test for people being hypocrites, today's announcement was it. The same people who claim Hollywood is ruined by politics, are mad and claim something will be bad when the most qualified people are brought in to write a movie about the thing they are famously scholared for. Because of their politics.
