Maybe you should call the White House and tell them that.. they seem to not have gotten the memo.If I recall correctly, 4 days ago (ancient history I know) Trump tweeted “open the fuckin straight you crazy bastards.” A free and open SOH was also a stated goal of the war, and per Trump it is “key condition” of the temporary ceasefire. This seems to contradict your assertion that we can just sit back and let Iran self-immolate by closing the straight as long as they want.. if it’s no skin off our back why is our president ranting about it?

Saturday at 01:19 PM1 day So now we're going with the "lalallaa I can't hear you" level of debate. Got it.Yes I hate Trump as a person. But I've argued the policy not the man.20 hours ago, M2 said:Weird how different conflicts can have different stances. It's almost as if you're comparing apples to oranges!Ukraine: Defensive. 0 American lives. Extremely costly for 1 of our 2 global adversaries. Important for stability in Europe. Protecting a fledgling democracy Brought new critical positioned nations into NATO.Iran: Offensive. Absurdly more expensive per day than Ukraine in 2 months (iran: $48B + $1B/day vs ukraine: $120B of $180B congressionally allocated spent in 1507 days). Costing American lives and showcasing our weaknesses to China. Disrupted global economic stability, drove inflation up again, and empowered a tier 2 adversary while alienating allies.

The move helps stabilize the price of oil, specifically blocks the sale to China, North Korea and Cuba, deprives Iran of the revenue...sounds like 3D chess to me.From the Article linked below:"The license allowed Iran to sell its sanctioned oil to help finance its war against the United States and its allies. And Iran was profiting handsomely off its sales, selling its oil for a premium of several dollars above the price of Brent crude, the international benchmark."Unless the article is completely false, it appears Iran has not been blocked from receiving funds for the sale of previously sanctioned oil that was stuck at sea.Why Trump is Threatening to Blockade a Strait that Iran is already Blockading
14 hours ago14 hr Apr 1: “The US imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait and won’t be taking any in the future. We don’t need it. We haven’t needed it, and we don’t need it.”Apr 5: “Open the F’in’ Strait you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell, JUST WATCH!”Apr 7: “subject to Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East.”Apr 12: “Effective immediately, the US Navy, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. Any Iranian that fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!”4D Chess guys.Stable genius.Concepts of a plan.🤣😂😆 🤡 Edited 14 hours ago14 hr by SpeedOfHeat

Like a boomer complaining about how much the generation they raised and crafted sucks.The acoustics in your head must be breathtaking.Then again, this is the Iran Thread. None of this makes sense.

Sorry, that was vague. You guys got boring.Negotiations don't matter if both sides don't leave the table at some point. It's not even certain Iran has a centralized enough government to negotiate anymore. Vance played the hand well. So far. Edited 11 hours ago11 hr by Lord Ratner
