Trump Tells ‘Useless’ NATO to Stay Away After UK and France Vow to Protect Strait of Hormuz Shipping

With his blockade the Fanta Menace fits too.

Well, Fanta has a special history.

That one Chinese vessel that went through did not come out of an Iranian port. At the time, US had instructed to stop ships coming out of Iranian ports. As much I love to dunk against US, there is a also some overeager people around spreading misinformation formed from partial facts. By accident, because once something spreads, it becomes true.

The us was absolutely turning around Chinese ships that stopped at Iranian ports. There are plenty of free resources to monitor maritime activity… I find this one to be easy to use https://www.marinetraffic.com/

Of all the ways to incorrectly spell strait, that sure is one of them. You knew it wasn’t straight and took a shot?

Guarantee he did not know it would involve China and just did it because he couldn't think of anything else to do. A stopped clock is right twice a day.

>He managed to get the Japanese, Chinese and South Korea to respond together A peace prize, you say? 🥉

I think it was meant as a joke..like dogs and cats living together.

As of me posting this, you’re correct - it’s not… but it was for much of today. Nearly 80 ships moved out of the gulf today. The most since I’ve been watching (roughly three weeks) https://www.marinetraffic.com/

I miss adult Presidents that have no problem poking fun at themselves.

None of this would've happened if Aaron Burr had been elected instead of Jefferson.

From up close, it's more likely than you think. Frankly we have a great lay-up; our dictator is superficially evil and unbearably incompetent. He has made every mistake it is possible for him to make - including letting his jackboots attack the racial majority in the country, and running up the price of food and fuel to unsurvivable levels. He's shown no ability for guile, strategy or charm. Their political power has stretched thin and brittle through gerrymandering; it will take very little defection from his previous voters to crack the system, and they have been losing elections in red states at every turn.  What you need to be worried about is whether or not the Democrats will repeat the sins of our forefathers - rolling over and allowing the rot in this country to survive and plague us another day in the interest of "unity" and "moving forward". I have much less faith in us avoiding that pothole. Frankly, you should be taking a hard look at the nationalist right politicians in your country too, because the rich fuckers who did this to us want to do the same thing to you.

Land of the free btw.

You're preaching to the choir.  Pray for a massive influx of AOCs and Mamdanis, because the Democratic establishment leadership is already talking about letting bygones be bygones.

Some of those bragging about said revolutionary past are descended from the rich southern slavers who got pardoned by Johnson after Lincoln's assassination as a free ticket back into the government with minimal punishment for insurrection.

You fail to realize that the people who brag about the "revolutionary past" are the same ones who support what is going on here.
