The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This board's collective opinion is that Iran is more or less a superpower capable of shutting the strait down. The prediction isn't working in the face of the data.

A superpower? Hardly. I’ve never seen anyone claim that.

But they certainly are world-class trouble makers.

As Goofyhoofy’s post explains, they can still cause us problems, even 6 months after we’ve “obliterated” them.

And as SuisseBear points out, they can create problems for our military in the UK!

This is what happens when stupid meets ignorance and you think it’s a good idea to poke a hornets nest.

All of this destruction was foreseeable and it only cost us lives, injuries, and billions of dollars.

ETTD.
