Iran Looking to Democrat Party Allies in Order to Claim Victory Through the War Powers Act

 It is remarkable that the Dept of War can't secure the Strait of Hormuz from Iran fast boats and other vectors. Maybe they should have a contest to invent cheap defenses and incentivize free enterprisers since the navy seems slow to adapt. Maybe that's why the Sect of the Navy was fired recently.

  The camouflaged rubber ducky packed with c4 is an obvious favorite. The sky-dropped Japanese float bubble gambit of nitro glycerin is another, as are hordes of camouflaged drones and surface effects miniatures flying two meters to ten over the surface and directed by airborne AI. It should be easy for do-it-your-selfers to innovate dozens of defense against small boats in an hour or two.

  The Strait should be peaceful and uneventful so solar powered littoral twin hull kayaking journeys can resume for tourists in some future looking scenario.

Democrats are looking forward to the end of April when the !973 War Powers Act kicks in forcing the President to withdraw U.S. forces unless congress including the Senate gives permission to continue the conflict. Democrats plan to force the President to end the war in order to keep the Strait of Hormuz in Iranian control with no contest. That might help keep oil prices high and for Democrat theorists, harm Republicans mid-term elections chances if people are tired of paying more for gas.

I am not sure the plan would go according to plan. It is probable the Iranian war planners also were aware of the deadline and have been counting on a Democrat party victory to give them the opportunity to claim victory.

Congress Needs a Cap on Funding Foreigner's Wars Instead of American Wars

 Instead of a Presidential War Powers Act a more effective legislative measure would be to set a cap on funding foreign wars as a percent of some discretionary budget such as paying down the national debt. The quarter trillion dollars the Congress voted to dump on Ukraine for war over the years was ridiculous.

It is somewhat amusing that the Democrats find it wrong to defend the U.S.A. against a nation within a few days or weeks of pushing uranium enrichment to 90% for several nuclear bombs and sought to send every loose dollar it could find to fund the interminable war against Russia in order to increase the need for a larger national defense budget in preparation for World War Three.

As for Iran- The Iranian Government may have killed as many as 33,000 civilian protesters this years besides enriching to 60%. The theocrats weren't done with killing protesters or enriching uranium for no peaceful civilian purposes. It is easy to go from 60 to 90%. There were fewer than 2000 civilians killed in the conflict. Trump's war is saving lives and perhaps not only those of Iranians. He may have saved the lives of Chicagoans too from some future nuclear incineration by the Mullahs that hate Chicago too (ICBMs by 2035). Iranian drones launched from freighters comprised a clear and present danger already if armed with nuclear devices. 

Gemini- "Iran has developed capabilities to carry drones on converted ships like the IRIS Shahid Bagheri, which could potentially launch them from close proximity to the U.S.."


Threat Focus: Recent FBI concerns and intelligence warnings specifically highlight potential attacks on the U.S. West Coast or against vessels in international waters.
