300 Admirals Asleep at the Helm - Jupplandia

The Iranian blockade that barely exists, and 40 years of failure before this. - Jupplandia
  • We are told that the Iranians have blockaded the Strait of Hormuz. 
  • We are told too that the US is losing.
  • Both of these points are bullshit. 
The Iranians don’t really have a blockade. 
There is no physical barrier of ships. 
They don’t have a bigger fleet than the US. 
And they aren’t blocking all shipping. 
They are letting Indian and Russian ships through, and negotiating to let Chinese ones through.
  • What they do have are drones, remaining light fast craft to get on the water, and people able to drop mines in the water. 
That’s all, but it is enough to cause an embarrassment.
And that’s because of military spending and naval preparedness errors going back decades...
