This is so fucking juvenile. “You can’t block the strait; we will!” Solving, exactly, what economic problem?
I swear, the junta is just day-trading oil via tweet.
Donald Trump has said the US will begin blockading the strait of Hormuz in an attempt to take control of the strategic waterway from Iran in the aftermath of failed peace negotiations between the countries in Pakistan.
The US president also threatened to bomb Iran’s water treatment facilities, power plants and bridges if Tehran did not agree to abandon its nuclear weapons programme, the key sticking point between the two sides.
Trump’s surprise announcement of a blockade came after face-to-face peace negotiations between the US and Iran in Islamabad that lasted 21 hours collapsed on Sunday morning.
“Many were bound for China and India, carrying Iranian oil products, and chasing them down could complicate relations between the US and the importing nations.”
Those are 2 countries I don’t think would react well to the USA blockading oil imports.
I feel sorry for the people of Iran, Cuba, and China for living under dictatorships, but it’s getting difficult to feel sorry for the citizens of India and the USA considering the psycopaths they actually keep voting for.
“You’re not blockading it! I’M BLOCKADING IT!”
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
what the fuck is the point of a blockade? He’s literally bleeding power every day the strait is closed and so he wants to make it even worse? Does he realize that the world will completely turn on him and shut the American economy out of global trade? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. We are so fucked.
Lmao, the dumbest fucking move he could have made.
Like, if he had just quietly backed away and pretended like everything was fine, let Iran charge tolls for passing through the straight as an implicit form of reparations that the rest of the world would pay for. Gas prices would have have come down, and his own base would have forgotten the whole thing.
But nah, he’s going to force gas prices to go up so long as he doesn’t get… what? What does he even want at this point? What is this even about?
Distracting from the Epstein files.
As depressing as it may be, I think his base cares more about filling up their pavement princess pickups than they do about the Epstein files. So that seems like a really stupid move from him in such a case.
Placing bets on oil prices. It’s always about the money.
Whaaaa…?
That will cost millions of dollars per day to do
What a shit show
Oh, you sweet summer child. This won’t be in the single-digit millions. We could solve homelessness just from the war so far, but Trump likes making things go boom. It’s only secondary to slapping his name on everything.
