Didn't we want it to open?

Three things: The world will hate us. Gas prices will spike. US ships will be in danger. Of course there is always the TACO Tuesday option, where bets on stock options will make certain people much richer.

It's a two birds situation. He's jealous other people still get through. But more importantly he's trying to provoke an attack on our ships to try and sway public opinion. I would love to be wrong.

So is the USN going to intercept a Chinese trade ship?

Classic abuser. “Look what you made me do.”

"Immediately"...

Starting Monday, 10 am ET (UTC-05:00), says US CENTCOM

"If you don't open this strait, I'm going to close it!"

Big brain Donnie does it again.

Maybe he should try this approach with the Epstein files.

"If you don't keep the files hidden, I'll release them myself!"

"Yo dawg we heard you like blockades so we put blockades on your blockade and blockaded your blockade."

I hate that this doddering, brain-damaged old pedophile is setting something in motion that's going to be creating negative consequences for the entire world long after he's cold and dead.

Awful.

So if a NATO owned ship crosses the blockade and gets attacked, does that mean they can trigger article 5 against the US?

Also, what right does the US have to place a random blockade like that in international waters?

Dumbass.

So they're trying to do the Cuba strategy to Iran. A strategy that hasn't worked for nearly 60 years. But, and stay with me here, they're going to do it while the rest of the world relies heavily on a resource that Iran has and is willing to sell.

Like, is the plan to force the world to join the United States in invading Iran? Because, I feel like just bombing the US ships in the region is gonna be the easier play at this point. Like, is the US just gonna be sitting ducks in the strait for Iran to shoot at? That's really the plan?

This will shift the blame for closing the Strait from Trump for starting this damned war in the first place to Trump for just closing the Strait.

Good to cut out the middleman, I guess.

"Oh yeah well we'll double blockade the strait! What now, losers!?"

DIDNT HE CLAIM THE GOAL WAS TO REOPEN THE FUCKING STRAIT?
