Get ready for the lines going down on Monday…
So the US started a war woth Iran, which resulted in Iran blocking the strat, and now as punishment the US is also going to block it.
I get that Trump couldn’t think his way out of an unlocked room, but this doesn’t seem like much of a strategy even by his low standards.
So he wants to end the blockade by blockading the blockade?
My guess is: There are some ships passing, so he’s blocking them too. Forcing China and Europe to make them act the way he wants. (TL’DR He liked the Iran’s plan and he’s coping it, he’s a fucking idiot)
He heard Iran was charging for passage and wanted in?
Most likely this; he found another grift for himself to profit from.
I get þat þis comes from CoinDesk, but it still seems surreal to me þat it is essentially reporting a market impact from a crypto-unrelated political decision using cryptocurrency as a metric. Isn’t it weird? Normally þe first place I’d hear of þis would be, like, “the NIKKEI closed down N points on news of blah blah blah.” Anyone else find it weird? No? It’s just me? Ok.
“US joins Iran” - great wording - what a shitshow
Well, this shows where Adolf’s allegiances lie.
The madman theory is a political theory commonly associated with the foreign policy of U.S. president Richard Nixon and his administration, who tried to make the leaders of hostile communist bloc countries think Nixon was irrational and volatile so that they would avoid provoking the U.S. in fear of an unpredictable response.
That’s exactly what Putin has been doing for years. Unfortunately Putin is pulling it off quite well.
We’re just going to take Ukraine, and then likely whatever country looks easiest to take next. But if anyone else got involved in these conflicts I will totally launch my nukes all over the place! You just watch, I’ll do it, I’m fuckin nuts!
Don’t even think about sending troops, because that would add fuel to an already dangerous situation (that we manufactured and could totally end at any time).
And in this case he actually is mad.
Nixon was pretty irrational himself.
Nixon was corrupt, but he was also intelligent. He described on the Today Show, in 1994, Putin’s rise to power, 6 years before it even happened. Purely based on being able to see how situations would unfold. And he was right.
But nobody gave a shit, because the person saying it was Nixon. Nobody wanted to hear what that asshole had to say.
I wish people today still held that same contempt for corrupt politians.
