>Trump instructed the Navy to “seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran.”
Not sure how that works
PopPalsUnited on
It’s already blocked by the Iranians.
Is Trump implying he’ll sink and board ships from other nations?
The guy is a full blown fucking moron and needs to be removed from office asap.
DrStalker on
Trump heard about Iran getting paid $2M per ship and decided he wants in on that too.

I cannot believe people are still in his perception warp vortex and think he has a plan. It makes me so unbelievably angry to know that so many of my fellow countrymen cannot, will not question him.
Sure, get on Biden for being old. Yes, that’s fair on its face. However, Trump is equally old now and there was one major, obvious difference between the two of them: Biden had competent advisors and took their competent advice. Trump has insane advisors and it’s not clear who he’s listening to.
I’m sick of people trying to sane wash everything. I’m sick of Dems being held to standards and MAGA elite just able to grift, pillage, and reap every last ounce of what remains from the Great American Century.
I hate that they’ve left me with no good options to oust them before irreparable damage is done. I hate that they’ve made me become hateful. I hate that they’ve wrung virtually every last shred of hope I had that the world was getting better and not worse completely dry.
And the worst part of it all – the most humiliating- is that he’s not even smart. He isn’t a crafty manipulator pulling down the Republic from the shadows. He’s just a narcissist who is empty and howling inside because the love he never received left a hole in him no amount of money or power or sex could ever fill.
And also, finally, that even though I’ve said all this, I know everyone reading it will just shrug and try to get back to their day as though Rome isn’t burning. I know because I’d do it to you if you wrote it.
Ugh.
+2% S&P 500 tomorrow because nothing is sane.

“Hello Chinese vessel, this is the US Navy. Stop your engines and prepare to be boarded”.
“No”
“OK, have a nice day”.
He’s really thought this through hasn’t he.

This is basically just aimed at China and a few other countries, doesn’t allow more ships to pass but prevents ships from passing that Iran has permitted. Will be very interesting to see how they respond.
PsychLegalMind on
Are the “illegal” toll givers going to announce that. Besides, how does U.S. intend to interdict the Chinese, the Indians and the Russians along with the rest of the world that pass through the Straits. It is just as stupid or perhaps more than the failed frontal assault ~~that failed~~.
Edited typo.

Great! Now nothing will get through the Strait, which was… our goal right?

I’m starting to suspect that Trump might not have a full- fledged plan to deal with Iran. Thoughts?

So now the US in going to be the blame for the economy’s collapse? Donald sees a grift and doesn’t want to be left out!

China is 5000 years old, they will wait while their biggest adversary self destructs.

So serious question. If Iran allows another country through, what’s the US going to do? Block a ship from a China? Sink it?

You can’t block the straight I’m blocking the straight!

The world should just ignore this clown. Europe, China, India, Pakistan, Russia.. they all should send their ships. What is trump going to do, declare war on all of them?

Let’s wait for the white house clean up crew. Very soon the message will be, blockades take time to put in place. Probably two weeks to fully implement. Then we will see videos of US naval vessels, sailing in circles, picking thier noses since they can’t enforce anything practically without exposing them to real threats. So look for hazy videos of ships in the distance, with bold claims like “US naval vessels begin enforcement” but then nothing happens. As ever with this guy, all sizzle, no steak.
ColonelBungle on
Wasn’t it already effectively blockaded by the Iranians and all of their sea mines?

Worth remembering that the Republicans are just standing by, letting this happen.

Iran: We’re going to start charging for passage.
Trump: Nuh-UH! *We’re* going to start charging for passage!!
Iran: We’re blocking the strait.
Trump: Nuh-UH! *We’re* blocking the strait!!
Iran: we’re big fat stupid idiots and we’re in the Epstein files
Trump: Nuh-UH! I’m the biggest fattest dumbest idiot of all time and I’M literally the main character in the Epstein files!! – Hey wait a second…
Iran: lol

You have a shared driveway with your neighbor. He moves a giant tree to block it. You go over to try to talk him into removing it. You fail, and then declare you’ve decided to block the driveway.

So he’s blocking their blocking. The 4-5 ships that were getting through are no longer happening.
Ok.
What is your point?
Forget playing 4d chess. This isn’t even special needs tic tac toe.
