Iran Catch-All | IRAN WAR - Hormuz Strait closed again

[superrific]

It’s not over. Iranians gonna be Iranians….nothing is easy or straightforward with that fractured regime.

But you agree they weren't bluffing? Contra your earlier statement?

and by the way, it's over. Trump is going to try to save some face on the way out but there's no way he can win. Somehow Trump has made Iran into a sympathetic figure. China is sending military equipment. The US is completely isolated. The US is burning cash at an unbelievable rate.

Did you see the story about how our soldiers are going hungry? That their family members are sending them food in care packages but then the packages get delayed and the food is gross? How's that going to play? You think people are going to rally around this shit? They aren't.

Eventually the Republicans are going to turn on Trump and he might be removed one way or another. As one Republican strategist said, $5+ gas is an extinction level event for the GOP.

Again, they won't close the strait because we can ruin their economy. If we are still ruining their economy, by blocking the strait, there's literally no reason for them to not block the strait from their side.

Probably should have said that BEFORE your confident prediction turned out to be catastrophically wrong. Now you're trying to stuff toothpaste in a tube.

What a fucking joke you are. Not engaging you any more on this. You were wrong and like the coward, wimp and miscreant that you are, you can't admit it. What a weak person. You very well might be the weakest person I have ever interacted with.

lol Zen just keeps on Zenning, oblivious to the facts on the ground...Of Course, Trump idiotically continued our blockade and acted as if Truth Social posts are decrees written in stone.

How's that Strait opening, Trump?

 

[Duke Mu]

It’s weird how the Strait is only ever open at the same exact time as the stock market.

Total *cough manipulation cough* coincidence!

There's no goal post moving, just critical thinking.

Sure, Jan.

Trump supporters are so damn stupid and gullible.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Right now, I’d take the no side on Kalshi.

I once read something that seems germane to this thread…

“Y’all sure do let the dumbest motherfuckers drive the discussion around here.”

 

[pspsps]

Yall sure the Zen handle is a real person?

Probably should have said that BEFORE your confident prediction turned out to be catastrophically wrong. Now you're trying to stuff toothpaste in a tube.

I think I made it abundantly clear that Iran's economy was the key factor in their decisions regarding the strait.

What a fucking joke you are. Not engaging you any more on this.

You were wrong and like the coward, wimp and miscreant that you are, you can't admit it. What a weak person. You very well might be the weakest person I have ever interacted with.

EDIT: The truly weak person here is the one who resorts to personal attacks and childish name calling because a stranger says things they don't like.

Rammy and Zenmode's praising of the "master stroke" Capitulation inducing blockade by trump is comic gold, they are one of the few who understand geopolitics less then the trump administration. Keep the lols coming guys.

ramrouser probably believed it. Zenmode just wanted someone to reply and is probably busy admiring the erection it caused in him when they did.

So it’s the Iranians who aren’t being straightforward? Am I correct that is what you said?

Major developments we’re following:

• Iran reversed course on reopening the Strait of Hormuz Saturday, warning that it would continue to block transit as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect.

This is simple. If you're the US, you can't leverage Iran's economy to force them to open the strait and then not give them their economy back when they do what you wanted.

This is Trump, once again, shooting himself in the foot. Yet another unforced error.

It must heal as well or better than his ear or he wouldn't have a foot left.

Iran War Live Updates: Two Ships Are Fired On As Iran Says the Strait of Hormuz is Closed​

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they were closing the strait until the U.S. blockade is lifted. Two ships reported being hit as they tried to cross the strait.

Trump is such a fuck up. If the US government was a business the board would have voted him out long ago.

It’s hilarious that there were actually people who voted for Trump because they thought he would run America like a business. I wish they actually paid attention to how “well” he ran his businesses.
