  1. Friday it is the Strait is open and negotiations are very close to a deal. Market up, oil down. Saturday it has all fallen apart, Strait is closed just in time for the markets to open on Monday. Rinse and repeat.

  2. This war is about much more than "the economy". This is about a deadly unprovoked attack upon a sovereign nation. Period. An unprovoked attack is a war crime, as well as every subsequent minute that it continues. As well as every dead or injured man, woman and child. As well as the bombing of cities, schools, hospitals and support civilian infrastructure. THAT is what this is about. Premeditated mass murder.

  3. Trump's the living example of what happens when a hierarchy of power is based on capital instead of merit.

    An idiot, sorry "low IQ individual" , can end up put in charge of crucial life or death decisions – simply because he is rich and clownish. People often say Trump is funny. He is funny. Not clever funny. Not smart funny. Funny in the way it's funny when you watch someone fall over a banana skin. Funny like a guy wearing stupidly big shoes, or silly trousers, or with skin a ridiculous shade of orange.

    Essentially, he is a clown.

    Imagine a powerful alien species arrived and asked to meet the leader of the world's most powerful country. They would be introduced to a man who can't do basic maths. Who can't spell. Who thinks the word "origins" is "oranges." Who took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test.

    They would be puzzled. "This is the best you have? This guy? The one in the nappy, yeh? Why?"

    Tough thinking of a good answer to this…

  4. Under article 34 and 37 of the UN Convention Law of the Seas, all vessels have the right to transit passage. – Iran cannot legally stop any vessels from using the strait. Doing so violates International Law.

  5. Attacks??? I know you mean Iran fired warning shots unlike US which bombed boats from venezuela and killed people, yes those were attacks and were a blockade by the US to steal oil by regime change.

  6. This propaganda is out of date BBC and cnn and sky need to know people getting faster more reliable and factual news from places like Tik tok live or YouTube trying to show Iran is the criminal and bad guy when America and the non existent state attached them and started the war like many wars before.
