This entire conflict is too complicated for a liberal to understand.

They are still in preschool trying to figure out what a boy and girl are.

The Hormuz is Gender Fluid.

Depending on the day, it could be Strait or not Strait, but definitely never George Strait.

Their navy is sunk so what exactly are they closing Hormuz with?
I mean, they don't close or threaten the strait with their navy

It's mines, missiles and drones and I don't think they're close to depleted on any of that

The problem is Iran says closed and ships refuse to pass through out of fear, or insurance companies won’t take the risk.


That's the sole issue here. Even the ships "fired upon" today took minimal to no damage, meaning Iran is simply using a threat and small arms to scare the insurers into keeping their vessels from sailing through. They have practically no ability to actually damage or sink one of those massive tankers anymore, but the slight risk of the unknown is too much for the pussies at Lloyd's of London to endorse.

Also, I think we should restart our bombing campaign immediately and not wait until a set time on Wednesday. Iran already broke the ceasefire agreement by firing on civilian vessels, and if we start now we'll catch them by surprise and might be able to take out another huge batch of IRGC goons that have gotten comfortable showing themselves during the ceasefire. They certainly plan to go back into hiding at new locations as of the deadline on Wednesday, pull the rug out from under them now

I thought Trump already solved this problem and destroyed the British Crown, which is really Lloyds of London, which is really the Rothschilds, and eliminated this insurance angle and freed us from control of the British Crown.

Closed with what?
Drones and armed speed boats which they use in a swarm methodology against unarmed commercial tankers. The small boats can be hidden in the numerous caves along Iran's western coastline of the Persian Gulf.

That’s been the cycle since his first term—

How many times were tariffs on/off? How many deals have we made?

Don’t matter. Just 3 months ago compared to today pretty much spells it all out. The almighty Jihadist Iran of the last 4 decades is non existent; with what is left gophered up in holes knowing that Mossad will deliver them martyrdom if Trump don’t, when they finish cleaning up Lebanon. Most of the ME now rejects their fanaticism and prefers prosperity anyway.

The only real threat left are the psychotic Sleepers that Biden/Dems let in, and one move from them will give Trump the justification to deport Sharia-based Islam per se. Like is fixing to happen in the UK one way or the other. Enough is enough. The people know. Now or never.

Marxism and Capitalism will continue to battle it out here in America, and with AI totally changing the economic landscape, who knows what kind of synthesis between those two polar ideologies will be had. But the Jihadist hegemony is on the wane here and the ME as well. Trump’s boldness did that.

I'm shocked we are actually taking Iran's threats close / attack and sink a tanker in the straight seriously.
who's we?
These are mostly businesses that won't take the risk and/or are without insurance. If you had a business, would you say frick it and try to go through anyway?
