dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Conventional artillery can get taken out by bombing, mines will stick around regardless of who wants them gone.

Actually mining the straight is a "nuclear option" for Iran.

They can and will do it, but they would really prefer not too. As long as they can keep traffic out of the straight without dropping a bunch of mines they will. If Trump forces their hand, they reserve the right and the ability to mine the straight, And it will be bad.
