re: Trump Must Find a Way to Re-Open the Strait of Hormuz Immediately

It worked out by causing massive worldwide increase in costs for shipping for 8 years.

Thus impacting the worldwide economy.

First off, the Canal was not closed by Egypt's choice. It was the de facto frontline following Egypt's butt kicking in the Six-Day War. Second, the closure was an economic DISASTER for Egypt, and a national humiliation. Third, the closure incentivized construction of supertankers incapable of canal transit, and a restructuring of international trade circumventing the canal, never to return. Hence my question.

And?

I never said that closing any of those straights would help those countries in the long run. In fact Iran KNOWS it’s harmful ultimately to their self interests hence why they didn’t take the bait in their war with Iraq. I’m just asking how it’s justified to go bombing another country because they could close a shipping lane and if it is who else does that apply to.

But now you think it’s justified to bomb Iran and take out their regime because the *might* do something stupid.

No. You didn't. Once again, that is what drove the question I posed.

Correct.

Second Bulk Carrier Claiming to Be Chinese Passes Through Hormuz

Wait the minute. So just because some facts don’t align with everything going perfectly that means we are against America? You’re in a cult if you think everything is going perfectly.

Show me where I said everything is going perfectly

The only guy who came close in this thread was the OP who said Iran has played this masterfully (whatever this is)

I think RFK is an anti American POS. If you want to throw in on his position be my guest

I will note for the record he hasn’t been back since posting that piece of garbage.
