It means nothing that they are threatening to hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage and enact tolls even now that their air force and navy are destroyed. That is all the more reason to insult their intelligence and believe they never even thought of, and had no intensions of, controlling the strait when they were able to project maximum strength backed by a nuclear weapon.

Besides, even if we allowed them to control the strait and obtain a nuclear weapon, Iran has certainly shown themselves to be completely trustworthy. We could certainly rely on them to charge a small fee to control a vital aspect of the world economy. With their track record of proven reliability, they would never ratchet up their demands, and why wouldn’t we trust them with a nuclear weapon?

The problem is that previous presidents didn’t appease enough or pay enough for them to get the job done …

And then … Oh, … wait….
