The Strait of Hormuz becoming 1) a badly needed geography lesson for Americans and 2) the next coming of Saddam's hiding place/troll science is one of the few bright spots of this embarrassing nightmare.
What we really need is a brave and intrepid captain, a modern day James Cook or Vasco da Gama, who'll throw out conventional wisdom and blaze a trail north up the Tigris to find the fabled passage through to the Mediterranean.
Give it time, we already dumped enough carbon in the atmosphere to see no winter sea ice. I think we just need to melt the glaciers over land and we are golden
us military sat and watched war evolve for years as cheap drones nullified billion dollar weapon systems. attack! omg where did all these cheap drones come from. like an idiot taking a ball bat to a hornet's nest.
his oil pals cashing in getting twice the money per barrel while dumbdle gets a ballroom and sells stock. djt is bouncing petty low these days. he owns half and it keeps getting propped up.

Let's be real. He had no idea what the strait of Hormuz was until after they started bombing Iran.

Unfortunately the best way to raise the sea levels is by using the oil from the straight itself, so we’re kind of at an impasse here

they are setting oil on fire from russia to yemen. burning it in place as a war tactic to cut cash flows

Bet trump suggests they send out troops with flame throwers to Antarctica.
That should work.

That’s why they want Greenland.

We could use solar powered diggers to dig a second canal there.

This is a lot less stupid than the guy that proposed we drive trucks from one side to get the oil to ships on the other side

You mean, having the ships make an awesome 360 no-scope big air flip isn’t realistic?

I mean how many would you really need? 5 or 6?

Come on. He's nowhere near bright enough to come up with that. He probably couldn't find Iran on a world map.

Would the water even be deep enough for a cargo ship to get through?
Dultas@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 189d
Pretty sure that would completely submerge Florida as well. When do we start?
daannii@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 189d
Hey that's a good point.

I thought we could just bomb people until they do what we want. Is that now how this works???

I remember watching a documentary on the Panama canal. (Long time ago)
But I remember the take away was.
Not like twice or 3 times. But like 100x. (I'm probably wrong about this number but you get what I'm saying).
And that an incredibly large number of people died to make it.
And that exploited labor was used.
I think a lot died from malaria.
And the Panama canal is like just south of the U.S. Same continent.
Not that challenging to get to compared to the middle east.
There is no way in hell another project like that could be under taken in a war zone , on the other side of the planet.

DuPont got even more rich selling dynamite to build it.

sure if you can melt the polar ice caps fast enough.
