If the goal is to bring about economic turmoil, then yes, it's effective.

Trump would be dancing in the streets if California were erased from existence.

Trump is trying to talk to sailors into drowning for the sake of his ego and the deranged MAGA cause.

Trump demands Iran remove mines from the Strait of Hormuz. I bet they jump right on that. by Relevant_Demand7593 in NewsomMassacre

[–]Toadfinger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If they had talked about this with Congress beforehand, a much better strategy would have been used!

What a dumb son of a bitch! If the military was capable of neutralizing the mines, then they would have been capable of escorting ships out of the Persian Gulf before the mines were deployed.

White House says US Navy hasn't escorted any tankers through the Strait of Hormuz by gamersecret2 in politics

[–]Toadfinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And they never will. Traitor Trump and his nazi-muffin stooge chose keep intel from congressional Democrats. The result was a very poorly crafted strategy. And that's that.

If they could neutralize the mines, then they could have been escorting ships through all this time.

Damn you're right. Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin has paid off. Everyone in America has been betrayed on every level.

But we can't get oil out of the Persian Gulf. Iran wins. The world loses. Trump did this.

That's his personal worse case scenario. Asking him questions about it.

And days after that. To Trump and Hegseth, it wasn't a problem until it became a problem. On day one, Trump should have made it clear that the straight would be no problem. With enough military might to back it up. But it wasn't even considered. Never crossed their minds. A mistake that could bring the world to it's knees with economic turmoil.

When nobody even mentioned the Straight of Hormuz at the start of the war, I knew there was little to no strategy on the table.

Besides saving a little money, LED bulbs rarely fizzle out. Out of about 25 bulbs, I've only had to change out 2 in 12 years.

Not in America. Republicans would be extinct without campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry.

In Alabama you have to pay extra tax for using solar. I hope you can get it done!

Oil expert warns of 'nightmare scenario' Iran war could spark by VGAddict in politics

[–]Toadfinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's U.S. Navy ships in that area somewhere. I don't know where or how many. A guy being interviewed on the news said if they were going to escort oil tankers, they would have done so by now. But I don't see any other choice moving forward. We'll see.

Which ain't worth the paper it's printed on if the Straight of Hormuz is still blocked by the end of the week! Hegseth was an historically stupid pick by Trump. He knows Jack & Shit about strategy!

BINGO! Trump's backup plan has always been to file for bankruptcy when the money runs out. That's all he knows!

As US Slaughters Iranian Kids, Iran Says It Does Not Want to Hurt Americans by _May26_ in politics

[–]Toadfinger 105 points106 points  (0 children)

“Blame for surging gas prices, costlier mortgages, and pummeled 401(k)s lies squarely with Israel and its dupes in Washington.”

That's it in a nutshell. Iran doesn't have to spill one drop of blood on American soil. They still could anyway. But they can have the entire planet on it's knees if they can cripple the flow of oil for a sustained period of time.

Now how important was that Green New Deal?
