Can someone please explain to me why his whims are causing such global impact? Like has this not been a major issue with past presidents because of tradition or decorum or something?

> Like has this not been a major issue with past presidents because of tradition or decorum or something? because it's against their own interests, honestly. International power and influence are based on trust, power, and stability, and 1/3 doesn't buy you the degree of influence the US has enjoyed in recent decades

Ntroepy Apr 26, 2026 +17

Past presidents followed international laws/treaties/agreements and believed in American law and justice. It would’ve been impossible before Trump because Congress and the Supreme Court would’ve shut him down rather than bend a knee in servitude. Trump’s foreign policy consists of “*I’m big. You’re small. So f*** you - I’ll do whatever I want and no one can stop me! Waaah! Waaah!*”.

Skeeter_206 Apr 27, 2026 +5

No they didn't, they just weren't dumb enough to pick enemies who have the ability to punch back and hit the US where it hurts. Obama destroyed Libya and their water infrastructure which was some of the best in the world and provided a steady, clean water supply to their entire population then they killed and raped Gaddafi on camera and on top of all that Hilary Clinton laughed about it to the press... Now Libya is a f****** mess and people like you have the audacity to claim the United States used to follow international law.

hoishinsauce Apr 27, 2026 +4

Past presidents were at least intelligent enough to listen to their competent advisors about the repercussions. And when their advisors sucked or they got ignored, the president actually got the repercussions and the media would blame them for their decisions. The current media doesn't blame Trump for anything and his followers have cult mentality that he's shielded from any repercussion.

LiteratureMindless71 Apr 26, 2026 +9

It's how he will get his votes. He will say someone else (likely some Democrat that he has tried to demonize) was the one that got the strait closed and only because of his epicness it is back open. Knowing full well they just weeks before it was him..... And they will believe it. It's an incredible thing to witness.

"The strait was closed because AUTOPEN BIDEN and the BIDEN CRIME FAMILY couldn't get a deal on nuculer, but I got the GREATEST DEAL EVER SEEN to open the Strait of Iran. Grown men in IRAN were crying in the streets saying please sir can you save us? In this deal, Iran will only enrich enough uranium to supply AMERICA with NUCULER POWER and they have agreed to only charge a 5 million toll for each ship to pass. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER"

I think the UK is unfortunately desperate for AV Gas, and will undoubtedly have to intervene to get the straight open. With weeks left until we run out of jet fuel, it’s inevitable that we send ships to the straight… just my insight. I’d like to see Italy and France at least help if need be. The shitty part is, this is all Isreal and Americas doing. They better pay up if they want our help to end this tomfuckery!!!

CaptainCanuck93 Apr 27, 2026 +13

Yeah the externalization of blame seems to be a major coping mechanism among Americans Put Putin definitely tried to put his thumb on the scale, but any serious assessment of the situation is that Trump is the product of the cultural and political rot eating the US from the inside Which is why the world must prepare for them to do it again, because we probably won't be so lucky that their next fascist demagogue will be demented

It’s been in the works since the ‘80’s when the Russians invited Trump over and bailed him out. Agent Krakov was installed and I have zero doubt Trump is working with the Russians to undermine global stability.

noir_lord Apr 26, 2026 +13

Pentagon did in a leaked email (I think, it’s hard to keep up with the t****** of stupidity). Reviewing the Falklands was one of the ways to punish us for not supporting his stupid war. Nothing to review, they are British, 99.8% of the people who live there voted to remain a British Overseas Territory in 2013 and Argentina’s claim has never had merit. It’s a moot point anyway, Argentina couldn’t remotely invade the Falklands at this point, they are economically fucked and their military is *worse* than in 1982 and the islands are better defended.

4

Grand_Pop_7221 Apr 26, 2026 +2

The thing that worries me about that Falklands leak is that it would be a great way to split our focus if the Russians do make a move on Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania. In the worst case, you end up with the US and the UK looking like they're umming and ahhing over Article 5 commitments. The amount of money transferred to Argentina from the Trump admin doesn't do much to make me feel any better, either.

Does President Trump have until August? Probably not,” he said. Anyways we'll see. Right now there's a lot of very smart, very rich people betting that the price of oil won't skyrocket and the economy will be fine even though shipments have all arrived. Iran may survive longer if they fully open up the internet for their service sector.

HARBOUR PHOENIX anchored at the narrows for 56 consecutive days, stationary in every frame. The April 21 ceasefire produced zero change in the AIS pattern — before and after identical.

"It's going to be a glorious ballroom. Better than the ones you have in Europe." "That's great but can we focus on the opening the straight." "Okay. But this ballroom is going to be amazing. Joe Biden couldn't have built a ballroom this beautiful." " Sir. Please. Focus. We need to open the straight." "Yeah. I won my election big. I got the popular vote and the swings states.They said I couldn't but I did." "We need to open the straight or really bad things will happen." "That's a democrat hoax. We're winning more than ever before. The Iranians will be begging for the straight to be opened. Have you heard about my ballroom?"

The war will last at least another 6 months as Iran will hold out till the mid terms, then after the Democrats take the house and restrict funding for the war, Trump will really feel the pressure.

JustWordsSnowflake Apr 27, 2026 +1

If the Dems hammer hard for senate seats, then it gets very interesting for Trump. The problem is, he’ll veto every bill for 2 years. He needs to be run out of office and I have some hope that if the GOP get absolutely hammered, they’ll turn on him so fast!!! He’d be lame duck and unable to run a 3rd time. Then the mess he’s gotten America into will slowly unwind. Maybe back to some normalcy…..

If he leaves the Strait will not open, or it will open under Iran's conditions. Besides that, who is paying for the death of thousand of people who died in Iran? Nobody talks about the girls died in bombed school. Iran doesn't forget about the death of their supreme leader and his other leaders. Somehow someone has to pay for the mess US administration created.

Islamic republic has killed THOUSANDS more Iranians than the US has. Only in January, islamic republic killed 30,000+ Iranians on the streets. Islamic republic has killed multiple more schoolgirls than the tragedy of Minab school. No one hates Iran more than the occupying islamic republic, and no one hates islamic republic more than Iranians. But you are right that if he leaves it will open on islamic republic’s terms which must not happen.

DistanceToEmpty Apr 26, 2026 +7

Don't do anything to legitimize the mess they made. The Americans can either negotiate a solution, or risk their own forces to open the strait. Frankly the economic pain and damage this may cause is worth it to humble the Trump regeme. If this turns out to be America's Suez Crisis moment, so be it.

JustWordsSnowflake Apr 27, 2026 +1

I agree, but when no one can fly in or out of Europe because there’s no more jet fuel, it’s gonna cause massive problems for us. On a scale never seen before. I fear we will have to intervene. And Trump knows it. Hence his Taco Tuesday bullshit he’s been playing with for the last month.

I'm sure the Strait will remain closed until the oil futures that affect next winter's oil supply in the Northern Hemisphere are sold. Something like until December—with any luck, we'll have a “Christmas miracle.”

JustWordsSnowflake Apr 27, 2026 +2

It’ll happen sooner. When the UK runs out of AV gas, (predicted to be within 3-4 weeks) they’ll have to intervene. It’s unfortunate but true. And I think Trump knows it.

Professional-Ad3874 Apr 27, 2026 +1

I don't think Iran's oil infrastructure can make it that long. They are feeling a lot of pressure now too based on their replys/rhetoric/statements today. Well see what happens, but it starting to feel like a stalemate. Things will go back where they were except the IRGC may have gone public with how much power they have politically in Iran, and the GCC countries will now take a harder stance on Iran.

The UK is on fast track to update some legislature to proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organisation. Once it does so, it can start seizing the assets that are associated with it domestically which is easily upwards of multi millions if not billions. Crippling and starving the occupying islamic regime economically will further reduce their tools of destruction and oppression on top of a lot of it having been destroyed in the war allowing for the population to have a successful uprising. As long as the terrorists have the country hostage and control its assets, there will never be assurance that the world won’t suffer under them. The only way to permanently restore free, open access through the strait as well as ensure stability will be through the eradication of the occupying islamic terrorist regime. Edit: lol being downvoted for saying a terrorist organisation holding a country ransom is a bad thing. Trust Listnook to side with islamic terrorists.
