Pro Ukraine đșđŠ Anti Trump Suspended from Twitter
Trying to understand Trumpâs Strait blockade. If Iran can extract tolls, does it even need to export oil? If no ships go through the Strait, it becomes a question of which Gulf economy breaks first.

"They have chosen not to accept our terms." Sounds like an ultimatum, not a negotiation. So, what now? More bombing? Boots on the ground? Forcing the Strait open is the only viable option.

Maybe Trump doesn't want to open the Strait of Hormuz in order to keep prices high for US oil and fertilizer producers. Kinda makes sense if you don't give a shit about the public or reelection...

While I'm happy for the safe return of Artemis II mission, they didn't acheive much more than Apollo 8 in 1968, going to the far side of the moon and returning in a can with a heatshield. Seems we haven't made much progress in space exploration in 58 years.

Happy that Trump TACOed and chose negotiations rather than escalating, but don't see anything positive coming out of the negotiations. If they fail or result in undesirable outcome what will Trump do? Unsuccessfully bomb again or escalate?

Right. They've stopped taxing the rich and they've already stolen everything from every agency to line their own pockets. The only source of new money they have is borrowing, and that will end quickly once people realize that "full faith and trust" means nothing to thieves.

If the last decadeâand especially the last two monthsâhave taught anybody running a country anything, it's that nuclear weapons are a key part of regime survival. Everything that's happened since Feb 28 will only make Iran *more* determined to get nukes.

Trump clearly wants out, but also wants Iran to submit so he doesn't look like a loser. So Trump may well escalate by landing troops to seize Kharg or Hormuz coast, which would be misjudgement and possibly a military disaster

At this point, it is irrefutable that 70% of GOP voters did NOT vote on affordability, gas prices, the economy, staying out of foreign wars or anything else. They voted on white supremacy. Because they have remained supportive and loyal while everything they claimed to care about has gotten worse

Intriguing change of strategy if true. These attacks have created a global economic impact and were probably Iran's only card. Maybe they simply can't maintain the attacks. Sitting back and getting pounded by US and Israel isn't a winning strategy

In the first hours after the strike, Trump called on the Iranian people âto take back their country.â With what? Sticks and stones? For the sake of projected bravado, our bone-spur president is urging the Iranian people to come out of their houses and die.

Get ready for some "warflation": higher prices for oil, gas, food (lots of fertilizer passes through Hormuz), goods made with petrochemicals (umbrellas, shampoo, toys, etc.), and pretty much anything that needs to be transported anywhere. Affordability!

We know the Trump admin is cool with war crimes, so torpedoing an Iranian Navy ship without warning thousands of miles from the war zone is just another to add to the list. General Belgrano redux.
