Trump declares a blockade of the Strait, takes Irans leverage away

[Zincwarrior]

IF the blockade is actually the CENTCOM version I could see that. Even if Iran is charging a toll thats substantially less money than selling their own oil.

 

[Concerned American]

It's Iran holding the world hostage when they close the strait but not when the US does it.

Trump has closed the strait for use by Iran or countries coming and going from Iran with the exception of HUMANITARIAN aid to Iran which will be allowed after US inspection. All other traffic to the Persian gulf is unaffected. Educate yourself.

Wait til morning. Everything will be 180 degrees from today.

What did I tell you?

 

[konradv]

the Strai is now REALLY blocked .. blocked by t5he US .

Not anymore. Trump news is usually only good for about 12 hours.

 

[konradv]

His mind seems to be working brilliantly from my perspective. He is straight up crushing Iran and taking control of the worlds oil sources.

Your mind is also suspect, if you believe that!

A year and a half ago we generated 2.2M jobs,

Bullshit. Those numbers were revised down to 20,000

had a 3% inflation rate that was falling, $3.10 gas, a second year of a 2.9% real GDP growth rate, no war, a lower deficit, a plummeting crime rate from the 2020 Trump bump,

Biden's avg inflation rate was 5%, US families lost $11,400 in buying power under Biden, gas avg was $4.11 in 2022, the budget deficit under Biden was $2T, Trump's BBB is $1.9T, crime exploded under Biden's open borders, Trump sent in the National Guard to reduce crime significantly in high crime cities like DC, Memphis,

Domestic military deployments by the second Trump administration - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

a plummeting drug overdose rate from the 2020 Trump explosion in deaths,

400,000 Americans died during Biden's term from drugs, Trump will save 200,000 US lives by comparison. Biden's open borders helped the drug cartels.

virtually free trade agreements around the world, were producing a record amount of oil as a country, were nearly complete with the NASA Artemis project, had a East Wing of the White House, had zero named structures after the current president Biden, were not doing idiotic shit like changing the name of the Gulf due to insecurity issues, pardoned zero billionaire fraudsters, and had zero members of the President's family trying to negotiate loser deals and failing. What was your question again?

Questions?
You can try to bullshit people about the Biden disaster, but we know how bad his admin was.
Everything Xiden, aka “poopy pants” touched turned to shit, here's a partial list:
How about showering with his daughter Ashley? How fucked-up is that?

The Brits hold him in CONTEMPT for abandoning AFG

The French pulled their ambassador for abandoning AFG
China loves Biden for abandoning AFG’s motherlode of rare metals to them!

He pissed off the Canadians by killing the KeystoneXL pipeline, that’s 500,000 bbls a day he killed.

Xiden sold us out by approving the Nord Stream 2 pipeline giving Putin cash to modernize his military and invade Ukraine, and his “war on energy” kept fuel costs high. That's why Xiden is "Putin's Whore".

Hope he enjoys the $3,500,000 the Moscow Mayor's wife sent Hunter

Hope he enjoys the $1,500,000,000 that China gave Hunter to "invest"

Open borders is a catastrophe. Trump had it SOLVED. Now its infected migrants & fentanyl sent all over

Runaway inflation got worse after dems pass their "green" bill. 

Xiden hurt the US energy sector with his stupid EOs, he wanted Russia to pump more oil?? WTF?

Xiden was so dumb he couldn't even do fake press conferences to answer "ice cream" questions.

Xiden was a gaffe machine, his brain is defective, and he has the nuclear football, WTF???
Xiden surrendered AFG leaving Americans, $billions of equipment, and interpreters to be slaughtered
Xiden’s DOJ sent the FBI after parents (aka domestic terrorists) who dare to ask questions at school board meetings.
China just passed the US out with their new hypersonic missile.
Stupid Joe wanted to pay MIGRANTS $450,000 for breaking US immigration LAWS??????
Xiden killed Israel’s EastMed gas pipeline to sell gas to the EU, Putin’s whore strikes again.
Xiden killed the development of ANWR, but he’s begging Putin to pump more oil???
Xiden’s “war on energy” pushed gas and diesel to unaffordable levels, causing “runaway 9% inflation”.
Xiden let RUSSIA negotiate the new IRAN agreement???? WTF!!!!!!
Xiden gave baby formula to migrants when American babies can’t get formula????
Xiden turned the US into a banana republic by misusing the FBI and IRS to harass opponents
Xiden wanted 87,000 armed IRS agents willing to KILL!! WTF???
Xiden forgave $39b of student loan debt (was unconstitutional)
Xiden stole classified documents, did he sell them to anyone? Is he a traitor for cash?
Xiden let the Chinese spy balloon fly across the US and send back the data, TRAITOR.
Xiden blew-up the Nord Stream pipelines?! WTF? That is an act of war against Russia.
Xiden wanted the army to make EV tanks weakening military readiness.
Xiden’s extortion and bribery schemes are being outed by whistleblowers
Xiden’s autopen scandals are unprecedented. 
I could go on and on, but you see Trump was at least 1,000,000x better as president than stupid Joe

I wont read the rest until you establish that with a link. Revisions still ended up at +1.5M.

ABC News is not in Trump's corner. Even the MSM needs to tell the truth occasionally.

Here are 3 links:

The U.S. economy actually grew by nearly a million fewer jobs than previously thought, and it shows 'AI is automating away tech jobs,' economist says | Fortune

"The revision shows the economy entered 2025 with less momentum than previously understood,” said Bill Adams, Chief Economist at Comerica Bank.

The jobs reports were revised down by 911,000. What does it say about the economy?

U.S. employers added nearly a million fewer workers than previously believed, according to a Labor Department report out Sept. 9.

ABC bent the knee. They are now part of the MAGA Fake News ecosystem.

It depends. They usually take $1-2 per barrel. Which, in normal situation, makes 16-32 mln dollar per day. Iran have been selking, before the war, 1.6 mln barrel per day with significant discount plus additional expenses and, if net profit was $10-20 per barrel, it was also 16-32 mln dollar per day.
So, it depends on details.

LOL. You mean real news on ABC instead of fake news.
For fake news MSNOW leads the show.
I'm still waiting for Ellison to reclaim CNN from the DNC, a republican or two on panels isn't too much to ask for, and no, Kinzinger and Liz Cheney and Navarro are not Republicans.

Regime media is Fake News, regardless of your “facts”. You don’t decide who’s a Republican.

 

[hadit]

So he is going to block what is already blocked.

LOL

The difference being that we would be in control of what goes through the strait. That means we would control what gets to Iran via the ocean, instead of Iran blocking all but what benefits them directly. Do you see the difference?
