Thats your MO. Come in, shit all over everything, ruin people's lives, and leave. Please leave this plane of existence immediately.
If only the other nations would hold us responsible. They should be placing sanctions on is like those that were on Russia. Then it would actually make some Republicans non maga, start to move away from maga
I hate to say I agree with you. The only way to teach this generation in power is spanking. They only understand pain then fear it

Pigeon management: Fly in, shit on everything, strut around like you’re the best and then fly away without a care.
Seagull management is the name

The one you're referring to is playing chess with a pigeon.

So running away and leaving the mess for his victims to clean up. Much like he probably did to the children he raped.
Comes in, shits the room and leaves.
for you it was the Straight of Hormuz. But, for me, it was a Tuesday.
-- Donnie "shits-his-pants" Trump
America: I've had enough.
Iran: I didn't hear no bell.
They have no reason to start letting US ships through the strait and America has no ability to stop them.
Well according to Chief Cheeto, that doesn't matter because the USA "doesn't use it" 🤦♂️
Ignore the $4/gal sign at your nearest gas station.
America is a net exporter of oil, Trump could limit the export of oil or make a deal with Venezuela or reduce domestic demand by investing in mass transit and renewables, but any of those would be as bizarre as expecting Richard Nixon to make a trade deal with communist china.
A whole new transit network is not going to be there in time for the midterms. Venezuela's oil industry isn't what it used to be, and the US is a net exporter anyway, like you said.
Banning export might actually cure the symptom. The costs would not be zero either, though.

The nationality of the ships isn't important.
Anyway, Iran won't keep antagonizing the entire world if their existence isn't at risk. They haven't been acting like crazy.
The nationality of the ships isn't important.
It is; Iranian, Indian and Chinese shipping, among others, is being allowed through the straits. Also you're right, but as long as America gets to just bomb them at any moment their existence is at risk, so they'll want some kind of guarantee this won't happen again.

Nationality matters. Didn't India negotiate passage for their ships? I can imagine Iran will happily let ships through from countries that cut ties with the US. Don't host US bases, don't use dollars to pay for oil. That sort of thing.

Well, Iran has goals, but just ruining the world isn't one of them. Probably they'll charge fees and let traffic through selectively.
Negotiating an official solution to reopening it with other regional nations it is also a possibility. They can always shut it again if the US comes back.
Vietnam speedrun any%
It did achieve the intended distraction from Trump's Epstein issues quite well though, they've been off the press radar since this began.

I started the war, you all finish it! Thank you for your attention to the matter!

Trump expects the world to go to war with Iran. What will actually happen is that the world will re-establish diplomacy with Iran and offer sanctions relief to end the blockade.
Without war reparations, American ships will forever be barred from sailing the strait, and Gulf states will likely start distancing themselves from the US and re-assess hosting American bases and troops.
Trump’s victory looks an awful lot like a strategic defeat that sees the US pull out of the Middle East and leave Iran in a more powerful position then before.
It also undermines the entire petrodollar/Bretton Woods system that gives the almighty US dollar its power. This will be a big win for China, when countries start trading in their USD for Yuan buy oil.

Trump mulls all sorts of stuff. Invading Greenland and Canada come to mind, as do hamberders and cofefe.

Didn't think TACO even applied to military action, learn something new every day I guess.
i'd rather have him chicken out than continue a pointless war though
Look at that, Trump is about to end another war. That's another FIFA peace prize right there.
Trump wont be happy when the "other nations" solve the problem by simply making deals with Iran

Imagine if Iran had allied with ISIS, killed the US President and bombed several US schools, then a couple of weeks later Iran's leader goes "anyway, we are winding down this war. It is someone else's problem now."
That's not how war works.

America doesn't lose wars, it loses interest
So that means he is gonna attack Kharg Island, doesn't it? Or launch a ground invasion elsewhere in Iran?
He likes to do this stupid transparent 4D chess stuff to try and keep people off balance
I’m sure you can just watch the betting sites, going to be some random 3 million dollar bet two hours before it happens and that’ll be junior cashing in.
It's not your fault but I hate that you're right. We live in the fucking torment nexus timeline.
He says other nations will have to guard and police the Strait of Hormuz as necessary, after his attacks on the country prompted Iran to target vessels in the crucial world shipping lane.
Yeah that's why nobody wanted to touch this mess with a 10 ft pole.
He's done what he wanted. Epstein is permanently out of the news.
And at the same time he deployed a fuck load more marines to Karg.
he calls them suckers and losers, he wants them to soak up the ammunition from iran.
Oh Sky, Sky, Sky. Don't bullshit the world when everyone knows you're doing it. Trump fantasizes about all kinds of things, and realistically there's zero chance he'll just pull out. Rule #1 of Mr. Orange is to maximize corruption, and ending wars minimizes that.

"I messed this place up, hey you clean it up", classic college bully mentality
It's not the Strait of Hormuz crisis, it's Trump's Middle East Epstein Distraction War. Not to be confused with Trump's South American Epstein Distraction War.
Retreating. The word he is looking for is ‘retreat’. Also known sometimes as ‘surrender’.
Yeah, quitting and going away is the best he can do. If he does that, other countries will work down some way to fix things.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
