The usual rambling doesn't work anymore, and he burned the nuke card, so now he'll just straight up close & open the strait to manipulate the market and pump millions out of it.

It’s a great tool for market manipulation. But I also think it’s just part of the general incompetence and their tendency to make plans on the spot instead of plan things out. Trump was convinced the military power of the USA could bring any nation to their knees. Frustrated, out of options, the only thing left to do is to just copy the strategy of the opponent.

"general incompetence" Nah... it is working perfectly as designed. People essentialy stopped talking about UA and Epstein case is also going nowhere. Plus it is hurting whole western worlds - exactly as Putin likes.

By blockading and charging a fee Trump can make a personal profit while Americans will pay more for fuel because of it. This is what American voters want....I guess?

The bit that confuses me is, isn't a blockade of the straight an act of war against the Arab states? Before Iran was effectively blockading it and US was trying to stop the blockade. Now Trump says... you are not doing it effectively enough? I declare war on UAE, Qatar, Saudi and so on?

After a few years of suffering this guy, I think it’s going to look mighty tempting. Even worse is that a new wave of opportunists will try to seek political office using this as a foothold. So on the one scale you have morals and dignity, and on the other scale, the need to feed your loved ones.

Actual tactical and strategic reason (not just people repeating talking points below on both sides?) - because Iran is allowing certain tankers through. The US is now saying, we’ll block you and those you let through if you don’t let all. Either we all can go or none. Not just some (especially those that are funding their military efforts). Yes it’s bad for the economy in the short term. Yes the US wanted it open. No, then blockading it isn’t some crazy leap. The goal is not to have c**** oil right now for the US. Their objective (again, remember there’s a lot more folks than just trump) is to cripple Iran so they are no longer a regional influence (aka military or economic threat in region). This is basically trying to “starve” them out metaphorically. Not saying good or bad or right or wrong (though Iran has been crueler to their people than the US in recent decades). Just sharing why certain tactics are being used.

Critical-Row7985 9 hr ago +18
The problem with that strategy is that Iran can last a hell of a lot longer than the rest of the world can from a starvation standpoint.

How many ships has Iran actually been letting through? Seems like single digits. No way that low a movement of oil is meaningfully sustaining Iran's economy. >Their objective (again, remember there’s a lot more folks than just trump) is to cripple Iran so they are no longer a regional influence (aka military or economic threat in region). This is basically trying to “starve” them out metaphorically. Seems unlikely to be achievable unless Iran is balkanised. It's too large geographically and demographically to not be a regional player.

m1st3r_c 6 hr ago +2
It's about the petrodollar - Iran was trying to shift to the Yuan by only allowing oil purchased with Yuan through the strait. Trump doesn't want the market moving away from the US dollar, as it's the thing keeping the currency stable/propped up - a constant demand for dollars to buy oil. Stopping any ships going through is better for them than the alternative.

DrunkMexican22493 12 hr ago +1
We do but apparently Iran is charging a fee for safe passage for the info on how to get past their minefield. Now trump is gonna block all passage until all oil can safely pass without being extorted for safe passage.

trump has some homophobic policies and stances,  but only because they're popular. He has no actual values or political opinion. he's a greedy narcissistic   he couldn't give a rats ass whether someone is gay or Mexican or whatever else.  if he thought it would get him huge support from his base and earn him money and give him a sense of victory over his enemies,  he'd announce tomorrow that he is Gay. Incredibly Gay. Probably no one in history has ever been more gay and no one knows more about what it is like to be a gay man. Certainly a lot gayer than Abraham Lincoln, thats what people are saying.

I don't care about trump. This is the USA. These are the actions of the USA. And if me calling that out makes anyone, as a US citizen uncomfortable, stand up and do something about the government that you permit to exist. About trump: Well.. Today was the first time in years (or rather in my memory) that I wanted to punch someone - and it's trump. He's not innocent - but we have to hold that whole nation to the standard he is setting..

JConRed 11 hr ago +24
Honestly, the no kings stuff is teaching them the basics.. Letting them connect, build bridges. It's laying the groundwork for actual protests. But it may end up being too late. Let's hope it isn't. The US citizens have been suppressed so hard, so long, under the constant guise of being told they are the free-est people on the planet, that there's no systems in place to stand in solidarity against a the government. They abhorred unions and allowed unions to be taken apart. A good union can organise a protest/strike. But they don't have many large ones. The one thing that bothers me, is that so many US Americans don't feel responsible for the actions of their country. That disconnect is what allowed it to get this far.

It’s quite ironic that Trump keeps comparing Starmer to Chamberlin as he had an ‘attitude of appeasement for Hitler’. Trump genuinely doesn’t seem to see he’s closer to being the modern day equivalent of Hitler than many others and Starmer is doing quite a fine job of not appeasing him.

How Don thought these conversations would go, probably: "Why yes, Donald, we totally would love to essentially impose crippling sanctions on ourselves by blockading one of the single largest sources of oil on the planet. And no, you don't have to provide us with a tangible reason as to why we'd actually be doing it, in fact, it really doesn't matter if *you yourself* appear totally incapable of articulating even one single reason that stands up to any scrutiny. That sounds like a wonderful idea!!"

If there's one thing I've learned with Trump, it's that no matter how stupid it is, he can always make it more stupid. So this isn't the end of it. It's going to get more stupid from here. He'll go lower still.

It is just helping him sell his Venezuelan oil as well as anything else his bribers want him to sell.

People are complaining about fuel prices so much and no one is talking about the main problem! Fertilizer! So much fertilizer hasn't shipped through the Strait, hasn't been spread on fields and now world food production for the next year will drop by 20%!!! There will be famine in all companies that have a net import of Nitrogen and Urea. Food prices will rocket. Millions will die. Get Trump Out Now.

Let’s be honest, we haven't got the kit to pull that off anyway. Still, nice to see we publicly mugging off this orange clown. So yeah, go on UK, show them how it’s done. We’re killing it.

He now says that he is only blocking Iranian ships anyway. None from other countries ports.

Imagine being the UK in this scenario. Having literally no incoming oil tanker to provide shipment and then being asked by who you thought was your ally, to help with blocking shipments that Iran was going to block anyways. Does this administration have any idea what’s going on?

Thank god, the whole world needs to treat the current admin like a cancer. Eradicate them from global relevance and starve em out on the global theatre, the fascist pigs in office deserve nothing less than the breaking wheel

The US have lost and is just making things worse by forcing Iran to give up the strait. Iran is literally sitting on the strait and the US will be spending billions just keeping those warships afloat on those waters. This is a war of attrition and it's not in the favor of the US.

I can’t wait until King Charles gets to his meeting with Trump and Trump craps on him to his face. Why sign up for that?

The Iranians have leverage on the Strait so Trump wants some of that. They won’t pass the ball on the toll booth idea so now how about a joint blockade, oh great idea. WTF. Next up a he’ll propose building a new strait and damning this one up.

I’m sure Trump won’t have an emotional breakdown over this, expect a rant about non working aircraft carriers and being weak in 1,2,3…..
