  1. 90% of thousands of missiles still leaves you with plenty left!

    Don't worry though, according to your top secret classified access and math skills, the US is out of ammunitions and Iran is in full control

  2. I’m surprised any insurance company would insure any ships sailing (or lives of sailors) anywhere close to the straight. When I hear ships are ‘daring’ to cross the straight even sail close I’m thinking whether the ship owners are crazy, onboard merchandise owners are crazy, the insurance company directors are crazy or the sailors are crazy.

  3. The UNITED STATES should ask CHINA to send fifty-million of their soldiers West all the way to the Mediterranean Sea secure entire Middle East for the next ~ 70 years, just as the Romans did around ~ 2,000 years ago, as the British were in Hong Kong CHINA, maybe a 156 years?

  4. I know it's not a stupid assumption. But maybe it would be best if Iran gets the bomb like north Korea.
    Might be the only way Israel and the USA backs down. By the way both have the bomb and at least one of them comet's genocide.

  5. Great idea blow up tankers while the world burns and energy prices soar. Love the fact Donald goes missing when it's a bad news day. Is it just me or is the BBC just a bunch of stirrers?

  6. Iran is of course completely right in not allowing inspectors in. There is a high likelihood those inspection will be used to gather information for a potential US ground operation to steal nuclear material. Besides that, there is no point in inspections, even while Iran fully complied and even US secret services said there was no evidence Iran was developing a nuclear weapon the US and Israel accused them of doing so and attacked them anyway.
