WSJ: Trump warned repeatedly before the war that Iran would close the Strait
“The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait”
He was warned…but he knew better than his advisors.
Now we’re up shit’s creek. If the Strait stays closed long, global recession will follow.
There is no easy way to open it. And escorting hundreds of tankers a day through the Strait would take…the whole US Navy.
MAGA!

I’m happy the Strait is closed. It eliminates the Islamic regimes leverage.
I would go further and blockade all Iranian oil.
Let’s make Xi squirm.
I lived thru the OPEC embargo and this is a mere nuisance.
It’s still the second quarter dudes.. be patient
You’re not exactly a master strategist
If that Strait stays closed for any length of time, the world will plummet into a recession.
There is a reason that Trump today was essentially begging our allies to help us open it.
Escorting hundreds of vessels through the strait every day would be an enormous undertaking.
I’m happy the Democrats will sweep in midterms.

Note that the two nations benefitting from this chaos are Russia and China...Putin gets $100+/Bbl
for his oil, and Xi as Iran's top customer gets free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Given Trump's fealty (i.e. Lapdog Status) to Putin, this quagmire for the free world should come as no surprise.
Only thing worse would be if he wasn't warned about the possibility, right?

Let’s enter a speedy ceasefire and colonize Cuba on the way back home. Quick W.

How long do you think it will take for the housing market to collapse? I’m going to be looking
this year. Wouldn’t mind waiting to get a steal on one if we have Bush 2.0.
you’re forgetting, DJT is playing 5D chess while the rest of the world is playing checkers.
