Ah the classic “if I can’t have it nobody can”

well, Iran was letting a few ships through under strict circumstances, especially if they paid a huge toll. Trump is creating a total blockade.
still stupid, but there is a difference.
It wasn’t really a huge toll. It was 1 dollar a barrel, a ship carrying a million barells worth 100 million dollars of oil would pay 1 million. That is a 1% tax which isn’t that big unless you are an oil company that is used to paying nothing or getting a subsidy.
I’m waiting for Iran to let through European bound vessels for free to set Trump up to order strikes on Spanish or British ships.
Start up a whole new front where NATO kicks the USA out and blockades the USA from international trade.
well, you’re right that the oil companies shipping the oil can easily pay the price, but that doesn’t mean they won’t still pass the cost on, even if they are getting subsidies. and the average ship carries around 2 million barrels. sure, some carry less, and the big ones can carry up to ~ 4 million, but the point is that the costs will be passed on to the customer either way.
not to mention the massive backlog which already exists. even if they opened up the strait right now, to full capacity, it could take months to clear the backlog. and with those waiting to go through in line running out of (or already completely out of) supplies, some starving, this gets even more desperate. and stupid.
and don’t even get me started on NATO
I’m convinced that some A.I. told Trump to do that.
Either Grok or Co-pilot. Grok because it’s insane, and Co-pilot because it’s just bad.
You would have to have a mind to be insane. Math can’t be insane. Stop antropomorphising machines.
Grok is just bad in a different way from Copilot.
Grok-Pilot.
Can’t tank the global economy if I tank it first.

Ah yes the rare offensive surrender gambit
if you can’t beat the enemy, join them
Does that mean US warships will be in range of Iran missiles or has that always been the case?
I like the other Don Tzu drawing, too. It is funny. Especially with how badly he is doing with this shit.
Duck season!
