It's turned out to be a typical American military shitshow. Because the US Navy is scared about being attacked by the missiles and boats Trump announced they'd 100% destroyed in the beginning of March they're actually not operating in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean which is a massive area far too big to remotely effectively police with the number of vessels the USN has.

Add in GPS location spoofing the ships have been doing and it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

"I'm going to punish those nations by making Americans pay more tax.' And then finding that the tariffs didn't work because America doesn't actually make those products or if they do they're so inferior that people would rather pay the much higher price for imported goods.

That's because the US Navy isn't actually in the Strait of Hormuz where it could actually manage a blockade with the amount of ships it has but is instead doing the blockade in the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean which is a massive area. It's not operating in the Strait or the Persian Gulf for fear of being attacked by the Iranian missiles and boats that Trump said he'd 100% destroyed.

The blockade isn't being done in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean because the US Navy are scared of being attacked by the missiles and boats that Trump said he'd 100% destroyed. They've got no chance of a meaningful blockade in an area that large, especially with GPS spoofing that's going on.

It's not because of that, it's because it's not a blockade but merely Trump bluster. Turns out that the US Navy actually isn't operating in the Strait of Hormuz for fear of being attacked by the missiles and Iranian Navy Trump said he 100% destroyed but is in fact operating in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean. Well that's a massive area, far too big for the US Navy to police on it's own and with GPS location spoofing it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

It's a torture for seldom used Linux PCs as well. In short any PC that isn't updated for a long period of time is going to spend a long period of time updating with the possibility of breaking things.

 

So much for Trump's bluster. Turns out that the US Navy isn't actually in the Strait or the Persian Gulf but is operating in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean because they're scared of coming under fire from the Iranian navy and missiles that Trump said were 100% destroyed.

Given the size of that region it's not possible to stop Iranian linked vessels.

His pardon means nothing in the Hague.

The US may say that it doesn't extend to Lebanon but the Pakistani Military Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir Trump and Hegseth got to negotiate a ceasefire with Iran said that it does.

It doesn't help when the current leader of NATO, Mark Rutte, flies to the White House following a summons from Trump, kisses his ring and says that he agrees with Trump that some NATO members let down the USA.

Mark Rutte still went to the White House to kiss Trump's ring, agreeing with Trump that some NATO members had let the US down.

But then most encodes still almost all use H.265 or H.264 which still gives you a fat 30Gb file for 4K.

So you can store over 500 films on a 2TB HDD. I'm failing to see the issue.
