yep, although i wonder if they are doing surprise on baluchistan coast, or the opposite, in the west coast. i think islands are a misdirection, unless i completely misunderstand what 5k soldiers can do in stranded environment. but then again, sane options as i see them are just staging parts for beachhead, which will require shipping another 50k troops over time not spending opening the strait, so im kinda baffled.

although i think people underestimate turkey or pakistan backstabbing prowess.

the only other possible read is they are doing delcy, somehow, with someone (pez) to make it look good

i would say it's all bs, if it weren't (a) trump (b) oil prices being what they are.
