Iranian forces struck another tanker in the Strait of Hormuz overnight while it was transiting the US-"guarded" route. The vessel was hit by a projectile precisely in its engine room and is no longer under command.https://www.ukmto.org/recent-incidentsMeanwhile FENTCOM claims in its fact-checkers that Strait of Hormuz is safe to pass and fully open while all the dangers are just "verbal threats" and "attempts". https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2082850478572900753https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2083221914361692384Meanwhile Hormuz crossings collapsed 77% in a single day to five vessels, with all of them transiting through whats known as the Iranian Unilateral Scheme, the lane Tehran insists ships usehttps://x.com/Kpler/status/2083227320375017755That detail carries the whole story: nobody attempted the US-backed corridor hugging Omans coast, which is the exact passage this war has been fought over. Except of the ship that was hit and immobilized xDSurrealistic tragicomedy xD

US forces have begun pulling out from the Erbil airport area in Iraqi Kurdistan. All Patriot air defense batteries have already been removed. CENTCOM has declined comment.The withdrawal has raised concerns in Kurdistan about increased vulnerability to Iranian/proxy attacks amid a shortage of air defense interceptors.https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2026/07/us-nears-full-withdrawal-iraq-bases-kurdistan-region-face-attacks-iran-proxiesVid-rel: this nights Iranian drone strikes on Erbil

At least six Saudi oil tankers have rerouted around Africa instead of using the Red Sea after Houthi threats against ships linked to Saudi ports. The longer route adds about two weeks to voyages, highlighting growing security risks and disruption to regional oil shipping.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-31/saudi-ships-pivot-from-red-sea-chokepoint-for-rare-africa-trip
Guten Morgen and have a bump, bolandanon
Good thread. Ignore the bot replies. If you want to actually discuss anything coherently - be it geopolitics, history, finance, conspiracy theories, metaphysics, the answer is getting 5-15 active people in an invite only chat and isolating ourself from the group-thinking horde. Campfire of the Saints of some sort. Everything is upside down, if you want to have civil discourse we need to isolate yourself while every crazies loitering in the openweb and it's only going to get worse. I'm trying my best. Maybe consider joining mine this https://smp2.simplexonflux.com/g#bfkLxG6JUsC9QQ8dkkDZ0CDyc1z--q2ctuxlm-9Rn60 Discord & Telegram are namefag apps, at least SX doens't require your phone number to join and the first messaging app without user identifier. Any open forum format with namefag tags eventually fails out even on Twitter. No one really posts effort comments. It's not about the numbers. It's the sense of censorship being present all the time. People are afraid to say even slightly wrong things but how do you learn things without being wrong at first? Everything is sanitized for Ai to train on. Sense of discovery is gone on the internet. Raw human engagement gone. You are not observing things, you are being observed. If you feel like chans are the only place left that this axiom still applies - strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people, then we're stuck now. Chans suffer from low user count. There's really only 30 people posting here co-currently. Only general threads on /poI/ go over 300 replies and they're already a chat room for bunch of circlejerk but on the open web so I know it's a downgrade but I can't think of better options. There's no systematic, programmable solution cause it's the people who are using the internet is at fault here. More yapping in the archive https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/539447099/#539457056
>>539996732>Good thread. Ignore the bot replies.the irony on this bot reply kek

>>539997538the chutzpah on you to sage after derailing with your copy pasted pilpul. this thread must be on to something you "people" do not want to be discussed on this board.
>>539997649I sage because it's not an ad. I just wanted OP or others who are interested in geopol analysis to see it. Clearly you just want to keep talkinbg about other people's identity. Taken straigth from COINTELPRO handbook. Who's jewing who??? Bye
>>539987824442 russians have died or been seriously injured in Ukraine since you made this post.
>>539996956>open close open close open closeIt is closed for all ships not allowed by Iran, obviously. FENTCOM makes up stuff all the time xD
Hegseth just said that Houthis dont participate in the war because they are scared of USrael. In reality Houthis just blocked Bab el-Mandeb Strait for Saudi tankers and bombed Saudi refinery and oil processing facility which let to its shut-down, moreover they destroyed few Saudi tankers with missiles/drones.https://x.com/clashreport/status/2083221018416480750This administration is high on fentanyl xD
Wait I thought trump won the war?
The US government must be offering these shipowners massive payments and insurance to risk this. But where is the money coming from? The whole Congress just approve spending thing has just gone completely out the window and nobody cares. Was a nice country for the first 200 odd years shame it ran into the ice berg Trump.
oh hey it's the eksdee pole faggot again.
