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

[eagle1462010]

Sounds like another idea of the week that won't open the strait and will be replaced by another idea next week.

Our Navy can blockade the entire Indian Ocean if we want.

Sure great. Maybe we should. Anything to distract from the strait being closed. And to keep distracting from Epstein, probably.

 

[Godboy]

How is that supposed to help the global economy and American prestige? Trump is running the country into the ground.

Dont you think the blockade will put enormous pressure on Iran? Did you REALLY think this was done at random with no strategy in mind?

Absolutely

Oh back to Epstein when you know that Iran cant stop us. Eventually they WILL FOLD.

It is only a matter of time. Wish them well on their way to see Allah early

Nobody really cares about the Epstein files except for political gain.

Stop us from what. Closing the already closed strait?

 

[shockedcanadian]

That's so funny so Trump will open the strait, not by making it safer, but by making it even more complicated to pass through the strait.

This is why you shouldn't elect an immature nepo baby who probably raped children to be your President.

Why would America just allow Iran to pursue a nuke and become wealthy through China and Russia to fund further terrorism and pursuit of a nuke?

They want to control the Strait. Now let us see how the world reacts when America does. It is an International water and freedom of navigation is assured. Since Iran removed that, the U.S will control it.

 

[eagle1462010]

Stopping all iranian oil.

Imagine that.

The U.S. shouldn't care about Iran. We are energy independent so why are we continuing decades of overthrowing governments and bombing civilians on behalf of special interests in that shitty region? Now we have to massively intervene again because oil prices went too high as a result of us massively intervening again. The world will likely just have to get used to the strait no longer being a shipping option.

Imagine that.

You mean "all" oil

 

[eagle1462010]

You mean "all" oil

Other nations use the straits besides Iran

Perhaps we will ALLOW IRAN OIL OUT FOR A TOLL

 

[Augustine_]

Other nations use the straits besides Iran

Yes those nations will have to get use to not using the strait anymore as well

 

[eagle1462010]

Yes those nations will have to get use to not using the strait anymore as well

Will they?

In regards to that more pipelines should be built.

Take the Strait out of the equation.

Great. Maybe we'll finally end our obsession with the middle east.

Oil will always play a roll in World conflicts

Yes, there was no strategy and you’re putting a lot of stock in info that’s likely to be totally different tomorrow. Don’t believe regime media.

 

[leftwinger]

If Iran can't sell oil, they are bankrupt.

We can. Always working. All over the Globe. Every issue. Get on the Trump train. Right or wrong. Does not matter. Just climb aboard!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

It will put more pressure on Trump than it will on Iran.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

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

This is like the Captain of the Titanic suggesting that the ship crash into a second iceberg to plug the hole made by the first
