He says other nations will have to guard and police the Strait of Hormuz as necessary, after his attacks on the country prompted Iran to target vessels in the crucial world shipping lane. Mark Stone analyses the Truth Social post.

    Imagine if Iran had allied with ISIS, killed the US President and bombed several US schools, then a couple of weeks later Iran’s leader goes “anyway, we are winding down this war. It is someone else’s problem now.”

    That’s not how war works.

    Trump expects the world to go to war with Iran. What will actually happen is that the world will re-establish diplomacy with Iran and offer sanctions relief to end the blockade.

    Without war reparations, American ships will forever be barred from sailing the strait, and Gulf states will likely start distancing themselves from the US and re-assess hosting American bases and troops.

    Trump’s victory looks an awful lot like a strategic defeat that sees the US pull out of the Middle East and leave Iran in a more powerful position then before.

      for you it was the Straight of Hormuz. But, for me, it was a Tuesday.

    So running away and leaving the mess for his victims to clean up. Much like he probably did to the children he raped.

    Hey, if he pulls the military back out from the Middle East, he can take credit for ending another war that he obviously won single-handedly. Plus he can get another Nobel Prize…

    It did achieve the intended distraction from Trump’s Epstein issues quite well though, they’ve been off the press radar since this began.

    They can start all the wars they want, tell me aliens exist, send out checks, it doesn’t matter. I’ll never shut the fuck up about Epstein and these pedos.

    Even if the US retreats I hope Iran keeps that strait closed and eventually collapses all those gulf pedo-slave states.

    There has to be a price for collaborating with Americans and Israelis. If you want oil and be a US ally then you’ll have to rely on the US to share it’s own oil with you.

    Yeah, quitting and going away is the best he can do. If he does that, other countries will work down some way to fix things.
