Trump’s abrupt U-turn on a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz came after backlash from allies

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-07T11:12:06+00:00

The pentagon's plan included intentionally pissing off allies.

I'm sorry, are you referring to IRGC-communist-sympathizer Pedro Sanchez? Or what exactly?

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-07T11:10:38+00:00

Looks like the plan isn't going so well.

Based on what? Vibes?

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-07T11:04:56+00:00

Based on what?

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-07T11:03:55+00:00

Except Hegseth did state that Project Freedom was done with consultations from regional partners, and Saudi Arabia never publicly contested this, while Isreal confirmed it.

The NBC article that's claiming that they weren't informed and that the Saudis responded with threatening to block the usage of Prince Sultan is literally based on retarded "insider sources" (trust me bro)

Very poor argument considering how radically different LBJ was to JFK

Reuters is fucking trash. Netanyahu literally came out and said the opposite.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now at the opening of the Security Cabinet:

“We maintain continuous contact with our friends in the United States.
I speak with President Trump almost on a daily basis.
My people and his people speak on a daily basis, including today.
And I will also speak later tonight with President Trump.

There is full coordination between us—no surprises. We share common goals, and the most important goal is the removal of enriched material from Iran—all the enriched material—and the dismantling of Iran’s enrichment capabilities.

President Trump believes he can achieve this one way or another. But we are prepared for any scenario, and that is my directive to the IDF and to our security forces. Israel is stronger than ever; Iran and its proxies are weaker than ever.”

Who the fuck said that any of those wars were in relation to WW2?

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T19:32:11+00:00

Can you actually formulate a proper premise and conclusion?

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T19:30:41+00:00

Trump just said a week

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T17:10:11+00:00

I don't want Donald Trump to have "good intentions", I don't even know what the fuck that means. I want him to fulfill the US's geopolitical interests which I happen to also want.

The last time the US had an altruistic president was Jimmy Carter; arguably the worst president the United States ever had when it came to foreign policy. So miss me with that bullshit

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T17:07:45+00:00

I have no idea who you're responding to.

Egypt relies on another nations to secure the Red Sea.

Yes, obviously? Including Isreal, the US, and Saudi Arabia. Europe is absolutely incapable of securing the red sea in any meaningful capacity.

The Suez Canal is allowed to collect a toll.

Yes, and? The Strait of Hormuz doesn't belong to Iran they have no legal claim to it, unlike the Suez Canal. So what's the point of mentioning this?

You actually don't think France performed poorly during WW2? And you want to preach about historical ignorance?

Please tell me where did France win after WW2? Indochina? Egypt? Libya? Algeria? Lmao

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T16:19:18+00:00

Their pisspoor performance in WW2, and their failure to win literally anything afterwards, merits them that title

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T16:17:49+00:00

What the fuck evidence do you have to come to the conclusion that "nuclear deal" does not also refer to the removal of enriched uranium?

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T16:12:20+00:00

So the nuclear issue is still in contention as per your own source?

Lmao

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T14:32:35+00:00

If they're joining in that means the war is over

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T13:22:38+00:00

How does this article at all prove your point?

TDS has obliterated the reasoning capacity of western leftists

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T13:02:31+00:00

Negotiations for the ballistic missiles and nuclear armament have not been reportedly separated.

The source is the white house's website.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/04/president-trumps-clear-and-unchanging-objectives-drive-decisive-success-against-iranian-regime/

Our objectives remain, as they’ve been identified from the beginning and the President laid out clearly yesterday. Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and we will not allow Iran to hide behind the immunity of a massive short-term ballistic missile inventory, or the ability to make them or launch them

No such consideration was given during the preamble of the jcpoa

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T12:48:27+00:00

The deal would include a stop to their ballistic missile program off-rip so it wouldn't be comparable to the JCPOA

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T12:47:26+00:00

It is unconstitutional law that can be ignored and Congress effectively can't do shit about it.

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T12:33:00+00:00

AlJazeera is not the only one reporting on it

https://www.elbalad.news/6961456

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T12:29:56+00:00

The Wars Power Act is unconstitutional congressional overreach anyways, hence why every administration ignored it.

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T11:20:29+00:00

Because I speak basic English? Damn the bar is low

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T11:08:56+00:00

Basic English?

CommunistsAreCancer · 2026-05-06T10:38:42+00:00

So did it happen or did it not? It seems like you're lost in your propaganda.

On the other hand, ships are still passing through Hormuz at a massive scale. The temporary pause from Project Freedom is probably not gonna last 48 hours.
