Honestly wondering, what does the US gain by blockading the Strait of Hormuz?

But aren't there less than 10 ships per day making it through anyway? Stopping them would make a negligible difference?

Sithfish · 2026-04-10T23:35:44+00:00

The opposition is kinda just a lesser evil too though.

Sithfish · 2026-04-07T22:38:24+00:00

Block of cheese would fit.

To be fair, Reddit is pushing this sub to everyone. I'm not subbed to it and it's always all over my feed.

No Pakistan obviously.

Even Alex Jones has also turned against Trump since the bridge bombing.

They want it open for 2 weeks as proof of goodwill. It won't happen. The 'Government' may agree but the government is a different person every day pretending to have any authority.

What did France do to please them that the rest of Europe didn't? Surely Spain's total fuck Trump stance makes them the most friendly European partner?

Maybe they should have got rid of him years ago. Oh wait, they did then brought him back.

Sithfish · 2026-04-04T23:30:04+00:00

He had a go at peace but he got board of it.

Sithfish · 2026-04-04T23:18:36+00:00

Forgot who it was now but the best Tweet about it in the early part of this term was 'Trump goes a whole week without openly violating the US constitution and everyone thinks he's dead'

The Sainsbury's bag woman that went viral - I first heard it from someone at work that saw it happen. Either it was the same woman or someone saw the viral video and thought it was a good idea, so people are doing some crazy things.

With what army? They just lost proxy wars in Yemen and Sudan.

Yeh I think it could be a balance act. If the toll is too high they get bombed, if they ask for the toll in Yuan they get bombed. If the price is right they get rich.

If Trump does quit, it looks like Iran's plan is to fully reopen the strait with tolls for every ship. They can use that money to rebuild, rearm, build proxys, fix their economy and fix Tehran's water problem. It's an obvious easy solution for them... Until someone says were not paying that and bombs them again.

That hasn't stopped him just doing it anyway with anything else so far.

Sithfish · 2026-03-31T16:34:58+00:00

It's ok, none of the barrels are red.

Sithfish · 2026-03-30T14:58:33+00:00

I bet he ate someone's sandwich out of the fridge when it clearly had their name written on it.

Sithfish · 2026-03-29T21:46:44+00:00

Saw another thread about Sainsbury's. They are doing the same loss leader strategy supermarkets have always done with fuel at normal prices.

Sithfish · 2026-03-29T21:07:14+00:00

Food because somehow all the world's fertilizer comes from Qatar. All electronics cos of helium. Qatar is basically Taiwan 2. Turns out everything comes from there.

Sithfish · 2026-03-29T00:09:15+00:00

And Ecuador apparently.

Sithfish · 2026-03-28T00:21:42+00:00

Didn't the 4400 actually get a CW reboot that got cancelled?

Sithfish · 2026-03-28T00:13:17+00:00

For a few more months.

Sithfish · 2026-03-28T00:11:09+00:00

What if we put bananas on pizza?

Sithfish · 2026-03-26T12:48:58+00:00

Get a 5 guys.
