We're gonna accelerate the contradictions so much, you may even get tired of accelerating. And you'll say, 'Please, please. It's too many contradictions. We can't take it anymore. Mr. President, it's too much.'
If you all sail through at the same time, they can't get all of you
Everyone attempts to rush the strait, getting bottlenecked and congested and picked off like flies
haven't seen anybody mention this but if a shitload of ships get wrecked in the strait of hormuz, well, they're no mines but all that wreckage doesn't exactly improve how navigable it will be
Can Americanism be this great again?

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
You'd need way way way more ships
at the narrowest point the strait is 20 miles wide
yeah but even that whole width isn't necessarily usable as it is, I read something like the shipping lanes are like 2 miles wide in either direction? seems like that'd be for a reason idk
Lotsa people don't know this... But if you pretend a chokepoint isn't a chokepoint then no chokepoint is there. Simple. No problems. Also - woke bad.
We call it the Three Stooges stratagem
"The ships yearn for the drones"
I think Donald Trump should use the Strait of Hormuz
I like when western assets get blownt up but I don't like when the oceans have to cope with even more of our pollution.
Yeah me too
Virgin Modern Captains: "I'm worried my ship may get blown up by rockets if I sail there, pwwwwwwweeeessssseeee don't make me do it! 
"
Chad Age of Sail Captains: "I will outrun the Spanish AND the Dutch Navies or I'll DIE TRYING 
"
It's not even the captains, it's the investment companies that own the boat.
Perhaps we need a maoist uprising against the boatlords.
We need to RETVRN to voyaging. Seafaring has been ruined by capitalist speculation, it was way better when some half mad alcoholic recruited you from a pub to go cross the Cape of Good Hope on the slim chance you'd end up back in Liverpool with a boatload of silk and tea.
recruited? is that what they call when you feal a crack on the back of your head and wake up on a ship miles out to sea
Well at least I'm no longer tied to my feudal obligations, and if I don't die I'll get enough money to spend like 2 years tavern-hopping in London!

In context it's sort of nonsense but it makes me laugh!
Is that a metaphor for the Western economy?
Updated the info on the ship to better reflect its commitment to trying to sneak through SoH
confucian proverb: ship going through strait of hormuz sideways is going to...
Where are the big beautiful boaters now that their god needs them the most?
He wants the escalation
Cowards! Stay and fight!! The captain goes down with the ship!!!
