Listen to Netanyahu speech where he said Evil can win over Good through sheer power.

Totally. After reading your poorly worded screed on geopolitical ethics, which itself was a random and inane response to a comment mocking that exact type of behavior. Too rich. I will now go listen to the words of a bloodthirsty fascist. Thank you for the advice.

Why do think I support Netanyahu? The fact that he choose that example says more about his ideals and psyche. I am merely pointing out the fallacy that a better informed populace doesn't immediately translate to good policies.

here is my version with algo generated levels and you have to navigate a ship from left to right https://strait-sweeper.franzai.com/

On Chrome, right-click brings up the context menu in addition to flagging a mine, which basically makes this unplayable. Also the ship is not explained at all (the graphics, the controls, the systems). I'd recommend at least a one paragraph help section in the menu.

Long press instead of right click also marks mines.

We’ve seen with Palestine that human suffering, unfortunately, does not motivate Americans like gas prices do. So it’s not a reflection of my priorities so much as something to point to to get people to stop supporting Trump’s policies. At the end of the day, we have heard the same thing for a decade. Ignore his tone, ignore his words, ignore this or that policy, because the economy is/is going to be great. When the…

This is not about Trump. Sorry about Oct. 7th. Israel has a right to defend herself. Sorry terrorists hide behind their own children. All human life is valuable.

Iran has indicated they will only target ships tied to countries that are involved in the conflict. That likely means US and Israel. Unclear if countries like the UK that are facilitating the US through use of their bases would be considered legitimate targets (likely yes).

That's not how mines work. They don't only explode on people you want them to explode on.

Easy: you mine the straight except the water immediately near your shores, where you can control the boat. We don't know about the mining part (the straight may or may not be mined yet) but the second part is what the Iranians are doing right now (the tankers which cross are doing to between Qeshm Island and mainland Iran, not in the straight proper)
