Trump In MAJOR Trouble; Creating the Exact Crisis He Blamed Iran For

from Kernow Damo

Trump says he is reopening Hormuz, but all he has really done is put his name to the next round of global trade chaos. Right, so Donald Trump has announced that the United States Navy will blockade the Strait of Hormuz, the same guy who has attacked Iran for apparently blocking it is now going to do so himself, because if you thought he was stupid before, you were giving him too much credit. Stop the ships that have paid Iran to pass through Hormuz and attack Iranian forces if they interfere. That is the American president putting a naval move on the record after talks with Iran in Islamabad ended without a deal of course, because he sent JD Vance and his corpse-like son in law and so inept at diplomacy were they, that they apparently had the Iranian delegation on the verge of fits of laughter. The Strait of Hormuz is of course the narrow sea route between Iran and Oman through which a huge share of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas has to pass. So when Trump says he is going to “reopen” it by force, when he’s the idiot who got it restricted to begin with, what he is actually doing is threatening to turn one of the most sensitive trade arteries on earth into an American enforcement zone and basically daring Iran to turn the Strait into the world’s biggest live action example of the PC game Minesweeper. Nobody has forced him into this epic act of stupidity, he’s done all of this in his own words, in public, under his own name. Honestly, if brains were lard he couldn’t grease a pan, because that leaves him attached to the next stage of disruption now certain to come, oil prices already on the rise once more.
