Fuck the US military and all but this is the dumbest argument I've ever seen. You don't need a wall to do a blockade. You just need radar coverage and military equipment positioned to respond to anything the radar picks up. Getting radar coverage over an area that large isn't hard especially when you're looking for objects as large as commercial shipping vessels. Response also wouldn't be that difficult with the resources at the disposal of the US military assuming it was being managed by someone with 2 braincells to rub together.

What we should be mocking them for is that a blockade like that should be easy for the worlds most bloated military and yet they're still failing in every way.

The point was pretty obvious imo: long borders mean that you can’t isolate Iran. The wall is putting it in Trump terms, same with the conversion for hegseth at the bottom
