Wut? He said Iran blocking the strait of hormuz is a crime and now he's doing it himself? Biggest liar and hypocrite lol so we're just openly doing imperialism now? at least he's honest about it i guess
Nah, blockading to stop a hostile regime from choking off global oil supplies is completely different than Iran threatening commercial shipping.
He's basically saying we'll do the thing we're mad at Iran for doing, just with the U.S. Navy instead of theirs.
The irony of threatening to do the exact thing he's accusing Iran of doing seems to have escaped him entirely, but I guess consistency was never the point here.
This is how you start a war that kills thousands of American soldiers and tanks the economy for working people like me, all so billionaires can profit off defense contracts!! INSANE.
Finally somebody willing to actually use leverage instead of just talking tough like the last guy did for eight years.
Good way to tank global oil prices and tank your own economy at the same time, genius move.

This is exactly what Kamala warned us about, dude. Gonna crash the global economy to stroke his ego because Iran won't bend the knee.
