It took me a while to vote on this one; in the end I went for the most stupid option ie escalation till it becomes a real quagmire like Vietnam.....still hope that the muddle-headed fool will end up being influenced by someone with strategic nous and back off, but fear that is just wishful thinking.

If he's like other toddlers he probably spends ours every day on YT tractor videos.

I think right now he's looking for a way to declare victory and pull out, so I voted last.

The USA has one ally left, the leader of their alliance, Israel.

It's all fun and games until Trump realizes he can't beat them and nukes an Iranian city.

Some of the trumps cries for attention would make the most vain South American despot blush.

We are already in divorce proceedings. It's just that it will take a while for it to finalise and there's still some hope out that the Americans will come to their senses. Once our politicians and our fellow citizens realise that those racist fundamentalist weirdos are racist fundamentalist weirdos it'll speed up.

The Straits of Hormuz is next to the city Bandar Abbas, with a population of 500,000. Just taking that city alone would surely take a massive invasion force. But if you don't take it, how do you reopen the Straits?

I doubt that there will be boots on the ground on the Iranian mainland. Maybe those aforementioned isles. But that will not change the strategic situation.

Quote from: crazy canuck on March 27, 2026, 10:07:32 AMThat's also why you hear so few Canadian CEOs, who are federally regulated say anything publicly. Very few of them are bilingual.

As always, the best and brightest rarely end up in positions of power. A very simple requirement to be able to speak French at a toddler level is too much for these incompetent morons.

You are paid millions a year and you can't do this elementary school easy bullshit that any 8 year old could do? What a disgrace.

They mainly come from the US or were educated in American universities.  And federally regulated companies rarely pay their CEOs millions a year.

Look when I interviewed to work for Samsung here in Austin (I did not get the job just FYI) I was told that to go very far in that company I was going to have to learn Korean and they would supply Korean lessons. They had a special Korean language classroom in the building and everything. All the managers, all Americans, had taken the time to learn Korean to the point they could communicate with upper management in Korea. If our monolingual Texas asses can learn fucking Korean for the sake of our middle management careers surely it shouldn't be hard to teach us French. Once money is at stake it is amazing how bilingual we can become.

This just shows Canadian companies don't really care.

I see so in the US the company tells the CEO what to do. I'm not sure that that's how it works but if it makes you feel better to think that way then OK

I feel zero percent better seeing more confirmation morons who lack the ability to do even the most menial simple tasks are given enormous power. I am not sure why it fucking would. These guys are held to no standards, it is pathetic.
