BREAKING: The US military has shocked Iran, "quietly" establishing a SHIPPING LANE in and out of the Strait of Hormuz where now MILLIONS of barrels of oil are being moved per day — Axios, citing two US officials

Some nights have hit 15-20 MILLION BARRELS

This comes as President Trump and Scott Bessent confirmed PIPELINES are surging construction to bypass the Strait: "The Hormuz Strait's not gonna be quite as important in the past."

The covert shipping strategy is BEYOND simply escorting outbound ships, Axios reports: The military is helping tankers enter the Gulf through the strait, pick up oil and LEAVE fully

NO NUKE.

NO STRAIT TO HOLD HOSTAGE.

This. Is. Winning.

Let's get past what you know/think what's going to happen.

Hypothetical question: What if Trump's plan worked and Iran's mullahs were toppled and Iran formed a new government wanting peace with all her neighbors.

Would you support this? Or would you be unhappy because Israel still existed?

I don't think they had been targeting 3rd party nations merely trying to do business with Iran.

The whole thing has been about denying Iran's part in those deals. Ie: preventing cargo from leaving or going to Iran.
 
I think everyone here knows the answer to that question. Lol

I will always hate bloodsucking leeches, the fact that Trump blows netanyahu disgusts me. The fact they own 95% of our politicians...just nuke Washington and not start over.

Ok, but you seem to hate some blood sucking leeches disproportionately more than others.

As for Netanyahu and Trump, maybe they're 69'ing.
......and sorry to everyone reading for the visual that that idea might have caused you to just have. Lol
 
And I say I hate them the same...its just I may not know about the others yet, or maybe USA soldiers are not dying for them.

Barron Trump targeted with $10M bounty while Trump declares Iran 'collapsing': report​

President Donald Trump took to social media Monday to once again declare that Iran was “completely collapsing” following reports that Iranian state television broadcast a video targeting the president’s youngest son with a $10 million bounty.

“IRAN IS COMPLETELY COLLAPSING!!!” Trump wrote, unprompted, on his social media platform Truth Social.

According to The Jerusalem Post, the Iranian state-affiliated TV Channel 3 released a video recently highlighting personal details of Barron Trump, including his security detail, his online video game accounts and his classmates. The Jerusalem Post notes, however, that it was unable to “locate the original video on Channel 3’s platform,” and instead relied on an apparent re-upload by London-based journalist Niyak Ghorbani.

Listening to Michael Yon on Mike Ferris talkathon, with Catherine Austin Fitts also in.

They concluded that Trump isn't concerned with Liberal or Conservative, or Zionist or Arab. He's concerned with GRIFT. He, or those handling him, now (CAF argues that he's had this pattern all his life; it was at the center of his real-estate work) would grift and steal when honest dealing, would serve them better. Yon calls it, "being gangster."

I can't disagree, and Yon has been right more than wrong. He warned anyone who'd listen, against Trump, when he was a lone voice. Again, spot-on in retrospect.

So, at this point, I just see it as a new flavor in Asset-Stripping. Which puts it on the same moral plane as what the Globalists have been doing to the Western world, since they were stopped in Yeltsin's Russia.
 
He'd be unhappy since it was Trump who did it. So he'd then say it was some Democrat rising star who made it happen, one who wasn't busy calling for the end of American Police and Military forces. It must be exhausting saying were losing so often when were clearly winning and making the Arabs step up to the plate for once is clearly winning. So they are paying for alternatives to the old Persian straight, Iran is getting crushed economically,one $USD costs over 2 million Iranian Rials, and its proxies are getting both thin and nervous.

Syria has been removed from terrorist states by America and economic well being should prove infectious thru the region. Syria sells a lot of oil and isn't dependent on the straight. It will take time but the fact is were winning and doing it without losing our kids in forever wars. No matter how much Rat wants us to lose we are slowly constricting Iran economically like a Python. To let them off the hook now and let them head back to atomic weaponry would be insane.

Just imagine these goat shaggers with a nuclear arsenal mouthing their threats ? Wheeling out one missile after another from their cave hideouts ? All on wheels ? Nobody knowing if the next one is hot or not ? All the nations in the region petrified of this country of fanatics all yearning for the 72 virgins club ? All those nations, rightly, wanting their own nuclear arsenal to deter these shits until finally that one flock of geese gets the ball rolling in a use 'em or lose 'em region with flight times in the seconds and minutes.

We GOT it, don't we?

Jabs for All.

And Bammykair. The "Affordable" "Care" Act. Yup, an act - not the real thing, an act, going through the motions.

If we stopped giving that money to Israel...well, they'd just find a thousand more Trains to Nowhere to build.

Wasting the money of others is an inherent component of their insanity.
 
Trump announced all the Iranian sea mines were gone, gas prices should collapse any day now...
