Ayatollah Trump: Little help please.
Trump claims international coalition will send war ships to reopen the strait of Hormuz
Trump claimed on Saturday the U.S. and several other countries will send war ships to the Gulf to reopen commercial shipping in the strait of Hormuz.
Why it matters: The attacks in the strait of Hormuz brought commercial shipping to and from the Gulf to an almost complete halt, dramatically disrupted oil exports from the region and destabilized global energy markets.
U.S., Israeli and Western officials say the situation at the strait has been the key concern for the Trump administration in recent days.
What he's saying: "Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran's attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Axios, my friend, "will be sending" is not a "claim", it is a hope plus a nudge.
While claiming the U.S. has "destroyed 100% of Iran's Military capability," Trump acknowledged the Iranians are still sending drones, dropping mines and launching anti-ship missiles against vessels in the strait.
Except for that, 100% destroyed "Military".
"Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated," he added.
Lol Ayatollah!The president later said on Truth Social that "the Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help — A LOT!"
So Axios, that is a plea + a hope + a nudge.
"In the meantime [i.e. before The Countries of the World arrive], the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE!"
Plea + hope + nudge + bluster. Let me know if I can further assist you with your Trump Interpretation.
XXs and XYs, the state of Iran is very near helplessness. But very near is not "100%". You know that, this isn't Talmudic parsing. And even if the state collapsed, I predict that there still will be asymmetric warfare on the American-Israeli Axis of Assholes. The Strait of Hormuz is like your asshole, stuff has to come out of it. If you have a blockage, you're in deep doo-doo. And then there's lone wolf or small cell terrorism. Nineteen Muslims brought down the World Trade Center on 9/11/01. Put assbackwards, and in the form of a question to yinz, do you think Ayatollah Trump is going to turn the Iranian people into MAGA supporters (he actually posted that his intent was "MIGA", Make IRAN Great Again) and the state deep red? I don't think any of you think that and I think, for what it is worth, that there is going to be a lot of hurt on the American people, and on the American state too. I'm all for hurting the American people and the booby American state.
