Did you miss that lesson on the USA Constitution first amendment of 'freedom of speech'? It was living under political oppression that forged this stone.
Why is calling out Israel as a pack of evil, deceitful, lying bastards that live under the rule of war anti-American?

The US initially said the blockage applied to any and all ships entering or leaving the Strait before later clarifying the blockade was limited to any and all traffic leaving/entering Iranian ports.
However several ships have been allowed through despite having left from Iranian ports with two being ships already subject to US sanctions in the last 24 hours (Rich Starry and Murlikishan) so who knows what, if anything, the blockade covers.
EDIT: Elpis is the third tanker leaving Iranian ports the US have let through despite the ship also being sanctioned by the US prior to the current conflicT.

Its to blockade iranian ships, why would he be interested in stopping world trade thats what iran is interested in
Surely China, Russia, and the US aren't secretly teamed up against Europe to bleed them economically dry
*pretty sure thats happening*
If so, what happens when their reserves depleted?
*possible invasion or positioning to choke more*
I'd leave the UK and all of Europe this isnt going to get better
*The UK is actively using its reserves*

China did get a lot of rocket fuel to Iran in the early days of the conflict. Will America steal it or blow it up if a similar shipment goes through?
Glad to hear Trump ain't ready to go Mad Max yet in hitting the China oil. As for how this drama plays out in the coming months, both sides are digging in for a long one.

That’s something I have noticed, happening before our eyes. Almost to plan

Tim Pool’s take is about as good as anyone on here.
And even if the U.S. COULD supply the world in lieu of Iran (they can’t), none of this will transfer to the American people in terms of savings/cost.
Kinda like the tariffs lol.

Which probably means even his own ardent supporters are not too chuffed or impressed.
Trump is well known for setting up bait traps and the opposition takes it all every time!
Timing always perfect as this one is.
The glue traps he placed in strategic areas are filling up.
