Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responding to a question about the Strait of Hormuz says that the only thing prohibiting transit is Iran shooting at shipping. He says it would be open if Iran doesn't do that. Hegseth says that's why destroying Iran's navy was a primary objective for the U.S. to prevent the interdiction of shipping, which Iran has used as leverage in the past. Hegseth goes on to say that the U.S is not going to allow the Strait to "remain contested or with a lack of flow of commercial goods" and that its working with international partners to "make sure energy flows."

    The only thing preventing me from marrying that girl is that she shoots at me whenever I approach.

      What you need is an armed escort. In a month. Then she’ll be all yours!

        Once you get through enough armed escorts that there is a pile of bodies to hide behind, she’ll be all yours!

        The old man had it coming, he was a real piece of shit. I’m not sure what she’s not understanding, I think she’s got some real mental problems. I just worry about her, you know?
