Donald Trump has again said that the US has “total control over the strait of Hormuz”, adding that Iran’s leadership was so hobbled by infighting that it was unclear who was in charge.
But the US president’s claim seemed questionable in the face of the seizure of two container ships by Iranian commandos and a US report warning it could take six months to clear the strait of mines.
He might, confabulation is not uncommon in advanced dementia. In the end it doesn’t really matter though. Just imagine Trump is some sort of alien robot spewing nonsense and focus on what America does.
He is off his rocker for sure. But the party is in charge, which is worse. We don’t get out of this without an organized popular opposition, which is shouted down still, on lemmy even. I am giving up on this part. This republic.
