You “like” the fact that 47% of China’s oil passes through the strait of Hormuz and US piracy on the high seas would in fact constitute a naval blockade of anither superpower’s energy supply? This is the most dangerous and stupid escalation yet (and that’s saying a lot). I think people are slowly coming to the realization that Trump is actually a little bit mental. Too bad it took the crashing of the world economy for years to come to realize that.

US piracy on the high seas

Besides being hyperbolic, this is factually stupid.

I love the fact that you commie Canucks are butthurt.

“...47% of China’s oil passes through the strait of Hormuz...a naval blockade of another superpower’s energy supply?....”

I’m opposed to the blockade as it will needlessly anger China.

Iran’s craziness and IRGC extortion already make for a pretty effective blockade.

Iran is probably selling more hydrocarbons domestically than it is exporting. I favor taking out the refineries and inland storage tanks in Ukrainian style.

Iran would then have to buy gasoline and diesel fuel from Iraq, at premium prices, and then truck it hundreds of miles.

China is NOT another superpower, but they could have kept Iran out of trouble.
