This is why our blockade goes between the, at best, between the border of Pakistan and Iran, where you see that little orange shaded area is, between the Pakistan Iran border on the north and the tip of Oman in the south. That's as close as our Navy will get.

So we managed to heroically and gloriously fire five-inch shells at an unarmed cargo ship yesterday.

And there's a reason why our Navy will stay, you know, 600 kilometers, 400 miles from the Strait of Hormuz. And that's only during a ceasefire. That's while there's a ceasefire.

That's why the US Navy is contracting with South Korea to make some of our ships because we don't have the ability to make them in America.

So anyway you look at it, we lose a carrier now for 14 months. It's going to be longer because there's only one shipyard in America that can do the kind of overhaul needed for that carrier. There's a backlog at that shipyard. And basically what we found with all of our carriers going through these overhauls is you have to double the amount of time that you're given because the shipyards can't handle the load they already have. Now you add in a highly complex military operation that's putting a lot of strain on the defense industrial base and those naval shipyards. We're not getting that carrier back anytime soon.

There's no way, I don't care how awesome our Air Force is, there is no way we can guarantee to get all of these hundreds of anti-ship missiles to be sunk. Not to mention mines that may have been laid and so forth, but mines are a different problem. But just the mobile anti-ship missiles, you don't have to take out an aircraft carrier or a destroyer. All you have to do is hit a couple tankers and the insurance companies will say that you can't pass through there.

Our ships have only a limited number of vertical launch missiles. You have to have a mix when you leave. You have some that are offensive, like harpoons, some that are defensive. So it depends on what your mission is going to be. But there's a limited number, a couple dozen. When they're out, when they've been fired, the ship has no more armaments other than the guns, which are useless in this scenario. They have to leave the entire theater, go to a safe port, which would be like Bahrain, which may not be safe if we're in the middle of a war with Iran, and reload dockside.

So our Navy is very awesome if it's going to beat the crap out of, say, Libya. But it couldn't even keep the Red Sea open against the Houthis who have no navy. It's only part of Yemen.

The Navy just released an official document that was secret and it's been leaked, but they confirm it's real that there's a 900-plus percent increase in heart failure in the Navy and similar numbers in the other branches of the military.

I had a whistleblower that was revealing what is, in essence, the fight in the Pacific with our Navy and these MIR people. Thank you. Basically, associated with Moo underwater and the sailors. So I had a whistleblower in this regard.

We have a report from people on the scene from a United States Navy super top secret installation that the day before, which was Tuesday, they held a bomb drill in one of their major installation buildings, and the drill involved an explosive in a car in the front of the building. Exactly the day before.
