Donald Trump’s latest strategy to ramp up pressure on Iran has been dealt an embarrassing blow after several ships defied his blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
Multiple Iran-linked tankers—including sanctioned ships and a Chinese-linked tanker—transited the vital waterway within hours of the U.S. Navy’s blockade taking effect.
The news raised immediate questions about the effectiveness of Trump’s plan, which was announced on Sunday after the collapse of U.S.-Iran talks in Islamabad.
This was such a stupid strategy, in the 1st place. What were they going to do in order to enforce this? Open fire on everyone shipping oil? The US would literally be enforcing Iran’s blockade on the Strait, for them.
Based on the last 6 months I figured they’d board and steal the tankers to sell on trumps personal name.
Shhhhh!
I think (but not positive) it was so that the US could decide who to let through after Iran did. So if Iran got paid off by let’s say, China, the US would block that.
“Hey, we haven’t started a war with China yet - let’s do that!”

Trump, a lifelong bitch, now gets to make America look like a bitch too.
Bluff called IMMEDIATELY. It’s Taco Tuesday - can’t wait for Trump’s explanation
Tacos. Don’t blame tacos for this Administration, tacos are true and blessed by God unlike the administration which apparently is the Antichrist.
Time for Samuel L Jackson
I don’t think it’s much of a blockade if you can just “defy” it. Did the Navy ships tell them they were breaking the rules? “Heeeeeey, you guys. You’re not allowed to do that! Come back! Stop it! We’re gonna get in trouble!”
Because even these idiots know that firing on China’s tankers would end up devastating the US and potentially kicking off WW3.
That would personally put them in a position of showing their true cowardice, lack of a plan, severely harm their wealth, and potentially their lives.
That’s all they care about in the end, their money and their skins.
especially given that US allies no longer give a fuck about Trump’s wars.
it’ll be US Vs [Iran + China]. and the US military has proven that it can only fight against faraway civilians. but when it comes to actual war they lost against a handful of Afghan goat herders.
The last war the Americans won on their own was against themselves. They ain’t winning any wars any time soon.
I’m skeptical that China would retaliate. They laid an entire U.S. electricity grid of renewables last year. I feel like they would just let oil prices go to the moon, double down on renewable energy and watch as every other world power comes to them begging for solar panels and cheap electric vehicles.
They could easily sanction the US and further withhold goods and materials. They would win a war without firing a shot.
What fuck’n plan? He’s an impulsive moron who just does what he feels at all times. There is no plan. There never was.
I guess standing up to a bully does work when that bully is an absolute moron.
