Trump Finding his Footing with Successful Iran Blockade

[Mashmont]

$60 on 20th of December...

The increase to 70 had nothing to do with Trump or the war.

 

[berg80]

It just started? You mealy-mouthed Stain. WTH? Iran now getting no oil revenue and no NEW tolls.

If the goal is to "break" Iran the blockade isn't working.

Iran's armed forces threatened to block shipping from the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman and the Red Sea if the U.S. continues its blockade and "creates insecurity for Iranian commercial ships and oil tankers."

That was after the hostilities dated APR 09 you lying hack. They were being shelled. There was no ship traffic and Trum cut them off you spinning arsejack. Really make people angry. They never had a legit toll and this attempt was short lived and no revenue to speak of!!!!! Get off the boards, you are caught. No homor you double down!!!!

My my, temper temper.

What's preventing them to make it a condition for any peace deal? Fear of a blockade?

So many leftwingers have Trump dead and buried because of Iran. They have the Republicans dead and buried in the midterms. But Trump --and history--says otherwise.

President Trump’s Powerful Leadership Highlights American Strength as Energy Dominance Delivers Global Stability

President Donald J. Trump has directed a bold and decisive U.S. naval blockade to counter Iranian aggression and restore safe passage through the Strait

www.whitehouse.gov

Trump has always known what the plan was, what would happen, then what he would do next. It's the leftwing and its media who has been confused as they fall for every single Trump feint and misdirection.

But as always, you look at what's currently happening:
1) The blockade is bringing the Iranian leadership to its knees, by stifling its economic engine
2) Trump turned the tables on Iran, by blockading the blockaders. Masterful!
3) The betting markets are with Trump. Oil prices are down, demonstrating companies and investors believe Iran will cave. The stock market is up.
4) Trump is accomplishing all this without violence, which was set up by Trump's tough talk and earlier targeted attacks.
5) The leftwing media is deprived of Iranian news, meaning that Trump's polls will steadily rise.
6) Republicans lead by 5 points in the generic ballot, when usually the incumbent party trails by 15 at the midterms.

Basically Trump has done an escape/reversal on the left. In wrestling, it's known as a hip slinky.

Now the Iranians have trump right where they want him. The disaster begins.

I would just like to point out the link you provided is from the WH spin machine. Only the most gullible rubes believe it. Cuz it's propaganda.

You guys post from the Daily Beast and call it a source. But FOX News and others say the same thing. The blockade is a stroke of genius.

Sure. The decimated Iran forces have the upper hand. No lie is too big for you people.

 

[berg80]

Name one better that could win and work as hard as DJT.

Where are you getting this silly idea trump works hard? I mean other than the hours he spends working on his ballroom design, renovating bathrooms, and posting horseshit on his media platform.

Yep. Did you think the Daily Beast would report the truth?

Again, It just started. They talk.
Threats. And you Syain eat it up

As forkup stated, yes they can try to put into a peace plan they want to enact tolls. I don't give a crap about 2%. Give it to the ziran people. But not for terrorism or weapons. If anyway to stop that?

But right now they have nothing and they will have nothing if they don't agree to decency.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

OIl is up 50% since the war started.

Putting it back to where Obama and Biden democrats sent it as policy.
Democrat voters are so stupid.

 

[Mashmont]

Trump is killing the entire world economy

No one will insure maritime traffic through Hormuz while Bibi’s American Flying Monkeys prosecute the Zionists War on Iran.

The markets seem to like the blockade. Oil prices have dropped since it started. Investors trust Trump.

 

[Mashmont]

It was $63. Who's yours?

Feb 19-26, the week before the war, the price every day closed at 70 point something. 70.68 being the highest.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It was 70. Now it's 95. Who's your math teacher?

He has a GED and washes dishes in a Mexican restaurant in TX, hence his name Sink Worrier. His spelling is bad also!

Meanwhile, back in the real world.

Generic voting polls are as useless as teats on a boar hog unless you go district by district.

But you knew that.

Huh?!???

You should have just used Jesse's image. He was dumber than this guy.

 

[Mashmont]

So maybe in 6 months time Iran might be ready to negotiate. Oil should be about $200 a barrel by then.

Yeah, it's going the wrong way for that, amigo.

You think the story is Iran, it's not... The story is the price of Oil... $95 a barrel...

Down from $110 and way down from Biden.

But fundamentally, we need to stop taking about all that and go back to the Epstein Files?

lol. You people are drunk.

Last week was good, not only did he insult Catholics, he then pivoted and sent out an image of himself as god...

Practicing Catholic here. Not insulted at all. The image thing was a joke that sent the left, which doesn't even believe Jesus existed, into a tizzy.

Iranians must be asking, 'They said we were too crazy to have Nukes while the guy who thinks he's God is OK????'

Iranians are thinking only about survival right now.

February was when all the threatening started, hence prices rising.

Zincwarrior: my MIL used to make zinc etchings of landscapes around Caddo Lake. Sink Worrier implies we wash the dishes...

So, genius Trump starts a war that has as a consequence that Iran will now be able to exert control over 20 percent of the worlds oil and all consumer goods passing through the straight but it's okay because leftwinger doesn't mind.

Don't get me wrong, I believe you when you say that. But in my view that's more of a confession than anything else.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I do

So, do I. The one who gets the most votes. That's how elections work.
