“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” said Trump, who is strongly opposed to the idea of Iran charging ships a toll to pass through the strait.
“I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas,” he said.
Are they trying to make Iran look good? Iran closing the strait is bad, so the US is going to close it too. That makes no sense! They validate Iran’s actions and discredit their own talking points.
You have to lower your expectations.
This is nothing more than “I can’t play with it, so I’m going to make sure you can’t play with it.”
It really, really is that simple.
So Trump is behaving like a toddler again. That tracks.
