Notice how Vance say 'two' can play this game (of engaging in economic terrorism) and not 'one'?

We are at war with Iran. Would you have us sit at a campfire and sing Kumbaya? The difference between our tactic and theirs is ours focuses on the forces that have been terrorizing the world while Iran's focused on terrorizing anyone in the world. I am sure that the mullahs would welcome a supporter--why don't you run over there and enjoy this lifestyle you are defending.

An hour from now, Trump's warnings will have done a complete 180° turn. He'll probably host a dinner party in Iran's honor. Then tomorrow, he'll be threatening to nuke them. Delusional people say delusional things.

Trump operates about five steps ahead of you leftwingers. His MO is to confuse and misdirect the oppposition. He's a master at it. It's kind of like the way a stoat captures a rabbit.

Trump operates about 5 steps ahead of the law and totally OUT of step with God. Worst of all ... he's walking on thin ice.

Have you got him AGAIN? Do you have evidence this time?

I could show you Trump groupies a detailed motion picture and you'd still put your knee pads on for the Narcissist in Chief.

Yeah, LOL, and Adam Schiff-for-brains, Nazi Piglosi and Chuckie 'good-for-nothing-bum' Schumer had evidence too.

Why does Trump want to start yet another war...with China now?

No we aren't. This is just an excursion, remember? War would require Congress.

Take your ignorant semantics down the road. Do you agree we were at war in Vietnam? In Korea? Declarations of war fall to congress. We have gone to war on a number of different occasions in the past--Somalia, Bosnia, Syria, Iraq, Grenada, Panama, Libya. Engage your brain before you post.

China should not subsidize Irans war and terrorism funding any more than Europe should have been funding Russias war machine. This blockade will cost fewer lives than constant attacks. If China wants to celebrate and protect its oil source than they need to pressure.Irania leadership accordingly. If not, they will buy from the Saudis or unfortunately Russia. Still better than Iran I suppose.

I suggested this on here very early. I hope he is right, this an international waterway and at least at worst, it will reinstate Americas global leadership US delegation departs Pakistan after peace talks with Iran fail

You are delusional. Trump hasn't taken anything from Iran. Ameican leadership is over. That is what Tump has done. The strait was open before Trump decided to start a war.

From the OP:

"I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their 'Leaders,' are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition," he said.

That's how it is done, Democxrats and "not Democrats." Self-proclaimed statesmen start acting like gangsters, you can try to "be the bigger person" but that rarely works with rogue nations (if ever?). When it doesn't work, it's time to show them that they messed with the wrong thugs this time.

A gang starts running a protection racket in your neighborhood, you first stop the payments and then you wipe out any rival gang members who try to collect by force.

Who is in charge of Iran right now, pknopp?

We are the rogue nation.

 

[IM2]

Not anymore comrade.

Yes, Iran still does.

 

[IM2]

No, he is going to control what enters and exits rather than Iran and their benefactors. I believe this is the right move.

Starve them of resources and take away their only source of leverage, turn the entire narrative on the war.

He's not going to contol anything.

Except for the propaganda he puts out for people like you to believe.

 

[leftwinger]

Real answer Biden was disaster senile severely impaired and destroyed everything he touched. Then to make things worse democrats appointed Harris to run. The dumbest woman on the planet who cant articulate her thoughts. But she was woman of color. That put Trump in the WHite House.

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.

Funny. We never heard Iran illegallyvectorting money from Ool takeovers until now.

It was an international waterway that wasn't haven't any problems before he attacked. America is a laughing stock and will never become a global leader again.

 

[cnm]

So he is going to block what is already blocked.

LOL

And that will relieve the pressure to end this that he's under.

Yeah, right.
