Trump's blockade threat raises risks and leaves predicaments unchanged
After a diplomatic team led by Vice-President JD Vance tried, and failed, to reach a negotiated agreement to end the US war with Iran on Saturday, President Donald Trump had to decide his next move.
Jesus Fuckng Christ. There is no point trying to find pretzel 🥨 logic that can explain what Trumolini is doing.
As crazy as wiping out a civilization this is.
Trump acts like a toddler again. If I can't have the oil, nobody can. Iran was blockading Hormuz using missiles and drones. Soooo.... Trump is going to do the same thing using ships. Save Iran the effort of blocking the straight, and Russian Oil is going to be selling for so god-damn much that Trump won't have to worry about that two minute sex Tape that Putin bought from Epstein. This new blockade is different from the old blockade the way Chicago and Deep Dish Pizza are different. Trump's behavior is total infantile. A temper tantrum with a global scream. Everyone is fucked over by this infant.
That Vance could not negotiate his way out of a paper bag is no surprise. He blew it. A chance to steal the show. He could have been a contender.
The fool directly mirrors the same Iranian tactics he spent the last six weeks condemning.
What the closure of the Strait of Hormuz means for the global economy
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz following the outbreak of military conflict with Iran on Feb. 28, 2026, is the latest example of a geopolitically driven oil supply disruption. Recent Federal Reserve Bank research quantifies the potential effects on global output, allowing detailed analysis of a range of scenarios.
Clear insanity.
