Gulf War No.37: Iranistan

[UglyWithaSidePart]

I don't quite understand this...

the Iranians where/are, blocking the Straits of Hormuz, because, it weakened the west, possibly at a cost to themselves, but, at a cost they felt they could withstand.

Now, Trump is going to "punish" Iran by blocking the Starits of Hormuz with his very expensive, high-tech USA Navy vessels, (presumably, putting them in range of Iranian missiles, drones etc), to "punish" the Iranians

So Trump is going to be doing the Iranian's "job" for them, at USA's risk and USA's expense.

Does anyone else "get" this, because, I don't.

It's Trumpanomics. It's baffling.

One aspect Trūmp may have overlooked is that his blockage will be stopping oils and critical resources getting to China and India which will pïss them off ….

Pah!
These insignificant countries with funny coloured people should be happy to suffer for the Great Tangerine’s bigly tantrums and give thanks that he hasn’t wiped out their entire civilizations.

I honestly think the blockade won't happen, there will be severe pushback from the USN, you're asking them to conduct piracy in effect, or at least illegal blockades.

They've already done it in Venezuela and Cuba.
Less threat of actually being attacked than Iran though.

Quite right, I think the commanders will be thinking of their crew more than Trump.

Has to happen before TACO Tuesday though, or it won't. 😉

Weird how Pythonesque he is, the first thing I thought of was the Piranha Brothers.

It’s almost like he’s certifiably insane but that can’t be case can it? I mean, he’s in charge of “the most powerful country on earth” and they would have some kind of system in place to prevent a lunatic being in control surely?

Wrong thread I know but Orban concedes defeat. Looks like he might be going quietly.
Well done JD - that's the only good job you've done so far.
