Sir, a second blockade just hit the strait

I think there are 4 blockades on 2 straits now, Houthis be playing as well

So just so everyone has this clear:

Trump is saying that no ship that has paid a fee to Iran will be allowed to transit.

So, now, even the ships that Iran was letting through, will not get through.

Before WW2, the US embargoed a whole ton of oil exports to Japan, and this is widely seen as forcing the hand of their expansionist aims into attacking the Phillipenes and Pear Harbor at the same time.

We are now effectively blockading the entire world of ~20% of its oil, about ~35% of its fetrilizer, etc.

So this is uh... immensely stupid, as it is a lrgitimate causus belli against the US for the entire world.

Also, its a very good way to have a hypersonic missile take out an aircraft carrier.

Yo world I heard you like blockades so I added a blockade to your blockade...

THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION

I've never seen so much projection.

Also, he's crying about Iran's supposed nuclear ambitions, but he's the dumbass who pulled out of the nuclear agreement in his first term!

Oh, and are we going to start seeing the US blow up fishing vessels like in the Caribbean?

The dumbass also mixed up Khamenei with Khomeini at the end there, for good measure.

Man is playing chess on more dimensions than I can think of

But are any of those dimensions ours?

Imagine paying the toll and now Trump says you can't go because you shouldn't have to pay a toll... This surely will go well.

Wild!!!

I was just in Lebanese restaurant wondering why the news guy was drawing a big red line off the coast of Oman.

Just assumed it was related to whatever Iran was doing.

i saw a video yesterday, about the endgame would be a pipeline hub in israel, so israel can control all oil flow in the region. another alternative would be oman.

And they won't kill as many of their civilians because we're killing some of their civilians before they can.
