Captain! A sea mine!

No worries!, plow a head! We got rid of our....

Powpfffffffplopcaboooooom! Pffffffsssshhhhh! Spluffff! Pfkaptffff! Swish...

Oh there you are! I was saying that we got rid of our....why can I see thru you? Where are my legs? But I'm walki...moving without my...where are my hands? I'm gone!

Boss! Looks like we're dead. There's the big light over there, let's go. Oh hey, Hey! Mr Epstein! So is that guy a pedo?

Yes, yes he is, but nobody is a pedo here. It turns out that earth is just a soul torturing place and when you're done you become free of anything. There's no age in the eternal.

Wow, oh I see, I can't feel anger and I don't feel sadness either. So we were just doing a play?

Yeah, its a thing the gods do with us for their entertainment. Well somebody does it we assume. And speaking of the devil, looks like I gotta go down there again. One last thing, you are me and I'm you. We all are each other. Time is relative. Anyway, now I'll be an autistic girl for 25 years. Yeah she gets run over by a Tesla. Not that Tesla, this is an AI Tesla after the robots too over in 2035. I didn't tip again... Cuz I'm autistic and that's just principle. Gotta go get born!

You're saying I get to pass my ships through the strait AND I get to expel Israeli and American psychos from my country?!

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Doesn't matter, if their insurance doesn't cover it no ship is going to risk it.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

They're yoloing through the strait right now.

It's a lot of money and the number only goes up with time.

The situation is already well out of hand.

Cover the boat in iranian and palestinian flags, plaster it

No US-approved ship will ever have the balls to do that and piss of their overlord Bibi so they know to just trust, bet it would go damn smoothly and even insurance wouldn't bitch about it

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 83 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Canada isn’t part of the offer, but I’d be happy if we expelled Pete Hoekstra for nothing other than the joy of kicking that evil fat fuck out of the country.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

GCC US colonial bases are completely destroyed to point, where they are unlikely to be rebuilt. Trump's threat of pure terrorism on Iran infrastructure puts GCC infrastructure and survivability at retaliatory risk, with US utterly incapable or unwilling to divert defensive resources away from Zionazi master.

I'm unsure if quote is real, but GCC needs to, if not outright ally with Iran, assert their full neutrality and disinvest from US and Israel, arrest and deport all US military, seize any remaining equipment, join BRICS and SCO. A worse betrayal to humanity by Zionazi axis terrorist strikes, means desperate measures by GCC to save themselves from Iran, as a bigger threat than Israeli black flag intimidation.

Trump's escalating desperation rhetoric from Yesterday, should be framed as setting up the total annihilation of Gulf ally metropolises and directly threatening their financialization of US economy, and westernish real estate wealth in the region.

Gulf Cooperation Council. Basically countries on east side of Persian Gulf.

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

It appears to be true with fact checking here

"The claim is indeed true that Iran has offered 'full right and freedom' to transit the strategic waterway if Arab and European nations sever ties with the US and Israel, as per state broadcaster IRIB."

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 39 points 1 day ago (4 children)

How will Iran protect those ships from Israel and US?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Normally I'd say "isn't that a silly question?"

But considering the guys running this war are a drunk TV show host and an octogenarian TV show host with dementia, I could totally see them just bombing random ships for fun.

After all, it makes them feel like a big boy and it's the peasants' kids that get to endure the consequences.

[–] Tilgare@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They are.

Western imperialism and fundamental ideology has never been so honest.

Some people think it's super fun to beat up small-fingered vulgarians, too

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

My favorite bit from Spy magazine (which first called Trump a "short-fingered vulgarian" back in the '80s) was when they published an errata and apologized for calling Trump a "short-fingered Bulgarian" -- the apology was to Bulgaria.

Bombing ships for fun

Like we have off the coast of Venezuela?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Israel is also involved. I would be surprised if they didn't bomb anyone trying to take advantage of this offer. Especially if there were children on board.
