The president added that he has “instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.”

    Yeah, I don’t experience with this kind of stuff. But I am an American citizen with a working pair of eyes. And I see a military gleefully carrying out ALL of the orders of a fascist, domestic enemy of the state who has been corrupted by multiple foreign powers. If the military had even an ounce of moral conviction, we wouldn’t be in Iran, and we wouldn’t have extrajudicially kidnapped the leader of Venezuela. But they don’t, and here we are. But hey, thanks to the very VERY few who did the absolute bare minimum.

      No, you only see them following orders, because the system is built so no one sees when someone doesn’t.

      But hey, thanks to the very VERY few who did the absolute bare minimum.

      Again, you’re assuming you see everything happening at all levels of our military, which is such a naive take, anyone making it (even if they themselves are high level military) would be so naive and uninformed, it’s not just dangerous to listen to them, it’s dangerous to let anyone listen to them.

      Which is why I’m bothering to type these replies knowing most people still won’t understand the specifics.

      It’s worth the effort even tho I know it’s not likely to work.
