4) China cannot project anywhere remotely in vicinity of the military power it would take to reopen it and/or interdict US/allied operations. Completely out of Chinese range for anything other than futile gestures.

Your old man brain is still 30 years in the past.

China is capable of doing anything we are... the only question is whether or not they are as crazy and lack self-preservation instincts to the same extreme degree that we seem to.

---

You really believe China can project, outside of financially? They have zero blue water capabilities and their Air Force is restricted to operating in China. That is why they invested so heavy in missiles, they can't do the other. Having the equipment is not having a capability.

Quote:

"How can you tell the difference between an analyst and an advocate? It is all in the handling of data that runs counter to assertion. To an analyst, being wrong is disappointing, but it is primarily an opportunity to learnan expected element in a feedback loop of continuous improvement. When knowledge is your only objective, there is no such thing as a bad fact, only one which you do not yet understand. Not so for the advocate. The advocate has tied their hopes (and often their livelihoods) to a specific outcome and feels compelled, whether consciously or not, to rationalize away or attack inconvenient realities. It is advocacy when every perturbation in the weather is tagged as evidence of climate change, each squiggle of unfavorable price action is declared market manipulation, and no act or utterance from a favored politician is disqualifying."

• Who financially supports the Houthis?
• The Houthis in Yemen are primarily funded and supported by Iran. This support includes military, financial, and logistical aid, as well as training and advanced weaponry like ballistic missiles and drones. While Iran denies directly supplying weapons, its support has significantly bolstered the Houthis' capabilities.

• Have the Houthis attacked U.S. ships?
• Yes, the Houthis, a Yemeni rebel group, have indeed attacked U.S. Navy ships in the Red Sea. These attacks have involved missiles and drones, and have resulted in increased tensions and concerns about the security of the region.

• Have the Houthis attacked U.S. commercial ships?
• Yes, the Houthis have attacked U.S. commercial ships, particularly in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. These attacks, which began in November 2023, escalated after the start of the Israel-Hamas war. The Houthis claim these attacks are in support of Hamas and to pressure Israel to end the conflict.

• Has Hezbollah ever attacked U.S. citizens?
• Yes, Hezbollah has been involved in attacks targeting U.S. interests and citizens in the past. Notably, they are believed to be responsible for the 1983 US embassy bombing and the American barracks bombings in Beirut,resulting in numerous American casualties,

• Who gives Hezbollah financial support?
• The State Department's 2022 Country Reports on Terrorism says Iran provides Hezbollah with "most of its funding, training, weapons, and explosives, as well as political, diplomatic, monetary, and organizational aid."
• Hezbollah traces its origins to the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, which was aimed at removing the Palestine Liberation Organization from the country. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), with Syrian permission, sent 5000 troops to the Beqaa Valley to train Shi'ite Lebanese fighters who later formed Hezbollah.
• The State Department's 2022 Country Reports on Terrorism says Iran provides Hezbollah with "most of its funding, training, weapons, and explosives, as well as political, diplomatic, monetary, and organizational aid."

• Has Iran ever attacked U.S. ships?
• Yes, Iran has attacked U.S. Navy ships, though not frequently. A notable example is the USS Stark incident in 1987, where an Iraqi plane, acting on incorrect intelligence, mistakenly fired missiles at the Stark, killing 37 U.S. sailors.Additionally, during the Tanker War in the 1980s, Iran targeted commercial tankers, including those under U.S. protection, with missiles. The U.S. Navy also engaged Iranian forces in direct conflict during Operation Praying Mantis in 1988, in retaliation for the mining of the USS Samuel B. Roberts. More recently, Iran-backed militias have launched attacks on U.S. bases and assets in the region, which have included attacks on U.S. military personnel and equipment
  
  
  Also, Hezbollah operates cells in Latin America.

Closure of Strait of Hormuz seriously being reviewed by Iran, lawmaker says

What is the Strait of Hormuz, could it factor into Israel-Iran conflict?
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/14/what-is-the-strait-of-hormuz-could-it-factor-into-israel-iran-conflict

Hopefully Trump has the guts to resist the Israeli push to war, but I'm starting to doubt it. From defunding Ukraine to deporting illegals he seems to be taking several steps backwards recently.

Whiterock and his CIA/MI complex buddies may just get the third world war they are lobbying for.

Iranian society was slowly changing and abandoning Islamism as evidence by the current moderate President being elected over the more hardline opponent in their last election.

Whiterock is wrong 95% of the time, but I have to agree with him on this one. China can't project power in that way. However, they won't see Iran as just another loan customer or a means to bleed Western arsenals. Iran has a significant role in Asian economic integration (which of course is the biggest reason we want to smash it).
