"Going global"? What does that even mean?

A bunch of shadow fleet tankers have had little problem slipping through the blockade. I take this to mean that instead of being home free once they slip the blockade, tankers can now be boarded and seized anywhere and any time after having slipped.

*Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence by ship or boat-borne attackers upon another ship or a coastal area, typically with the goal of stealing cargo and valuable goods, or taking hostages. Those who conduct acts of piracy are called pirates, and vessels used for piracy are called pirate ships.*

April 10: >US President Donald Trump has said allies must find a solution within days to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. April 24: >"No one sails from the Strait of Hormuz to anywhere in the world without the permission of the United States Navy," he said. In two weeks we went from all NATO countries \_must\_ find a solution to open up one of the most important shipping lanes in the world - a problem the US created -, to the US now itself blocking one of the most imporant shipping lanes in the world. So uh, what else happened in your life in the last two weeks?

Shouldn't the cause precede the effect? USA and Israel tried to topple Iran with no real plan and no real goal. Then went Pikachu face when for the tenth time in history air raids alone did not topple a regime. Iran doing their "punish everyone if you can't make the US suffer" and blockade approach seemed to work for a few weeks. But the American blockade of Iran is the response to the Iranian blockade of the straight.

I swear if the next president doesn't apologize to the world on day one. It's the least we can do as a first step to try and repair relations. To acknowledge what we did under the Trump regime was unhinged self destruction. We know it was bad for us and bad for world. What can you do? We're a democracy. Sometimes stupidity wins. *Twice.*

Degn101 9 hr ago +1

Wholeheartedly agree. Words dont help prevent this from happening again, and the only way to restore faith in America is to show that you guys are willing to implement checks that will actually work.

I fear the damage the US has done to itself will be too damning to repair. You seen the rest of the world has been making new alliances, new trades, new forces. Politicians know that the US cannot be relied upon, so they simply wont even make deals in good faith. This might actually be the end for the US as you know it.

Ippzz 11 hr ago +22

Imo apologizing is fine but what I really hope is that you guys bring them before a jury because they can't be that bad without some form of corruption from a foreign entity. The fact that there wasn't any conséquences after Jan 6th because the Dems were too cowards to be rough really messed up the law and order and from there it went south pretty quickly. Don't repeat the same mistake plz.

It sounds like some ships have been turning off their transponders and sneaking past the US blockade of Iran. I can only assume US is attempting to track those Iranian ships and use other assets to intercept them on their way to china or where ever they are going. For example, the US has 50-70 navy ships near japan (based in japan?) That it could use to intercept Iranian ships that made it past the blockade. https://www.factcheckradar.com/fact-check/dozens-of-iran-linked-tankers-bypass-u-s-naval-blockade

I have a hunch the US are coming to the realisation that a lot of the world give zero fucks about the straight of Hormuz as we don’t see oil as our collective future. Yes, we will go through pain - but we will come out the other side stronger. Meanwhile the US and Middle East will become less relevant in the decades to come. Hence they (the US) are becoming more deranged and effectively shouting at themselves.
