This is what happens when you have a Commander-in-Chief who not only didn't serve, but dodged service. Not everybody cuts and runs. Thinks the morning 2 minute video highlight reel of things blowing up tells the WHOLE story and that he's winning. Surrounded by sycophants who won't speak truth to power, only considering what their position can do for themselves. Whose strategy is by whim and what his gut feels. The strait blocked? /Sarcasm ON What a shock; who would have thought? /Sarcasm OFF Just goes to confirm: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". Were the 80's that long ago?




I don't need to vouch for what Trump is trying to solve here other than eliminate Iran getting nuclear capabilities (yes questionable) but the issue of the Straits of Hormuz to America is none existent. They have enough oil in their own right and they also now have Venezuela under their thumb. Oil supply is not a thought to the Americans. 😎



Petrol has gone up 50% in the US because the global oil price has gone up. Not to mention the geopolitical nightmare the war is causing. China is likely to be seen as a better and safer ally for the monarchs in the gulf states too. They're losing billions of dollars with the strait closed and damage to infrastucture and might decide they'd prefer Chinese military bases than American ones.
Netanyahu has played Trump like a shitty fake gold piano.











Comic books is probably a poor choice of words when I was referring to MSM. The bunch of Chinese ships you are referring to are not heading to China but doing general shipments to Singapore. The Iranian's are letting through non antagonistic countries so they can go about their normal business. A sign of goodwill is how they will present that. Russia is supplying oil to China. The embargo on Russian oil was lifted for 28 days on I think the 14th March. This was done 2 days after the start of Epic Fury and it was moved by America. And if this continues, then so will the lifting of the embargo. Trump wanted both these superpowers to sit on their hands while this pans out. And it did just that. Both countries abstained in a UN vote condemning Iran's attack on neighbouring countries. Both have always been a guardian of Iran at the UN for the past decade. The issue of the price increases is being justified to the American population at supply and demand. The rest of the world will pay a lot for our petrol at the moment so we must keep the price up. That is capitalism at its best. As for the issue of Muslims and China, search Uyghurs and take sometime to read. Suffice to say that China has a very low tolerance on the matter. 😎
I was referring to woodland's post: Trump thinking Iran would be another Venezuela. Cut the head off the snake, the snake dies (believe that was from Doonesbury - Uncle Duke & Honey). You might not like fanatics, but you do have to admire their determination under appalling conditions. And when you're fighting for YOUR country... Keeping the Strait open with asymmetric warfare (USS Samuel B. Roberts), taking Kharg Island (as in so many locations, getting in easy, getting out...). Seems simple, until it's your BOTG...
And never underestimate Americans' sensitivity to pump prices...
Yep. There was a reason why previous American presidents chose to try and contain Iran, not to start a war with them.



At least one Chinese ship went through the strait and took Iranian crude oil to China a few weeks ago. America is pretty damn anti Muslim but they don't mind having bases in their countries. Another issue for the US is the amount of copper and other minerals (and sulphur) that comes through the strait. The West Point’s Modern War Institute has warned about the impact of this on replenishing and rebuilding used and damaged military equipment. Capitalism at it's best.
"One of the authors of that analysis, USAF lieutenant colonel and nonresident fellow at the US Naval War College Jahara “Franky” Matisek, told the Guardian in a telephone conversation that it’s “a cascading issue” raising the possibility that a “knock-on effect of this war is that it may cost double or more than double to replace all these weapons because all the mineral demand is going to go way up”.
Matisek warned of another possibility: “Markets are not going to be able to provide the amount of minerals that are needed to replace all these radars that have been destroyed and all these munitions that have to be replaced. It’s a really precarious spot to be in right now.”

Also do you really think Trump has a plan?
