President Trump confirms the United States of America will be PAID by Middle Eastern nations in exchange for securing the Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Trump is upon us! ??
"I want to get reimbursed, because we're protecting a RICH portion of the world...we are going to be reimbursed by the countries we're helping...Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and others. Kuwait, others. They will do very well. We think it's appropriate!"

That’d be cool but I’d like to hear come from the mouths of the leaders of those countries. If they want to reimburse us for fighting the war I’m all for it but I doubt that’s gonna happen. I’d prefer them commit some ships and troops to help seize the strait to be honest.

Pretty sure it’s illegal to toll international waters. Whether we deserve it or not.

expects them to pay US for starting g the war and pay Iran for rebuilding from the war. Seems reasonable.

So is droning and bombing international shipping lanes.
All is not fair in war conditions.
- The countries in question refuse to attack Iran and take care of the problem.
- We don’t want to be involved with a ACTUAL war over there again.
- We can’t allow that shipping lanes to cease operations due because it is vital to the world and would dramatically inflame economic costs and relations worldwide.
If it is illegal to charge a security fee, so be it. It is the clear lesser of two “evils”, and it really isn’t an evil at all.
Who is going to enforce that law?
The answer: Not one country or entity can, and we have the moral high ground as well because all-out war is not likely in this scenario, plus we are doing a massive service for the world.
Saying “throw us some cash and it’s a deal” is not a problem on the world stage, just for TDS/Liberals and Never Trumpers to gnash their teeth at again.

They’re not paying a toll to pass through the strait. They’re paying for protection when they do it.

Am I too late for in before joshnorris, B747, SunTzuPro, and the rest out on their General hats and tell us this is against international law and Trump is "showing his hand" here?

Damn. Too late.
Also, this is wrong. Iran is in violation of international law by attempting to shut down the strait.

Nice! We’re all going to see some of that money in the form of a stimulus!

Does anyone ever take anything you say seriously? Not just in here, but in real life too. You seem to be dumb.
