    lol Trump will claim no ships are moving through the strait because of intended U.S navy action instead of the reality that Iran still has it shut down

    Oh, great. Because the world didn’t hate us enough. Remove him from office. Now.

  3. Iran can’t block the strait of Hormuz if America is the one blocking it, truly a marvel of strategic genius.

    “I’m blocking the Straits of Hormuz in order to unblock the Straits of Hormuz”

    Makes total sense!

    So close what was already closed?

    This whole thing is an excuse to jack up the price of oil to make drilling in US profitable.

    Energy companies may be evil but they are predictable when they govern the country.  Whatever republicans do is coming straight from energy executives mouth.

    Oh look, more market manipulation. I wonder how
    Many sell orders on Dow futures got put in right before this announcement.

  7. He says he wasn’t going to tell anyone his plan, because he was waiting for Iran to do it first so he could copy their homework.

    What 😭😭 this is proof at least that it’s Trump himself making these decisions as opposed to a secret cabal behind him. Absolute nonsense policy decisions.

    We’re at the part of this conflict where Trump says „I’m not blocking you, I’m not blocking you! I’m not blocking you!“ and Iran says „Stop Blocking yourself! Stop Blocking Yourself! Stop Blocking Yourself!“

    lol blockade the blockade. Iran was letting ships go to countries that paid and now they gonna blockade those countries that paid – that is a declaration of war!

  11. What is This supposed to be? Another Trump Grift? I know he will set up a second toll booth for ships passing the straight. That is one way to raise money for himself and the Republican Party.

  12. > “I have also ​instructed our Navy to seek and ​interdict ⁠every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one ⁠who ​pays an illegal toll ​will have safe passage on the high seas,” he ​said.

    What the fuck?

    So the US reserves the right to chase down and destroy any ship who already passed?!

    ok, so this confirms it. trump is absolutely trying to start WWIII. No doubt anymore.

    Interesting to note that a naval blockade is unilaterally an act of war of which we have still not technically authorized, mostly because the limp dick Congress conceded their war powers and are just plugging their fingers in their ear shouting hysterics when anyone points out what’s happening.

    Illegal and likely won’t happen. It’ll be an act of war against all countries who want to exercise freedom of navigation on the sea.

    Trump’s talking about using the navy to restrict freedom of navigation in a waterway that isn’t even close to the US, never mind within its territorial waters.

    Then on top of that, he wants to use the navy to attack sovereign vessels in international waters where the US has no jurisdiction.

    Basically piracy then and an act of war against various sovereign countries and independent vessels. It wouldn’t just affect Iran, it would affect any country trying to move cargo in or out of the Persian Gulf.

    The US has shown themselves to be a rogue state under Trump, but this would be something else.

    My mom said she voted for him because he’d run this country like a business. I said that doesn’t work because businesses and governments are working towards different goals. And to add on: this man’s businesses tend to go bankrupt. She all but covered her ears and said lalala when she told me I was wrong.

    This is the result. You run a country like a failed business and everyone suffers.

    Fuckin asshole loser. Fuck you Trump. Fuck your whole family. We will seek justice, we will be taking your entire family DOWN. You may be dead, your kids will flee to Russia. Fuck u.

  18. So JD shits the bed with negotiations and now WE block the straight?

    WTF are we doing with the imbeciles in any capacity of power?
