Dipshit Donnie is going to blockade the Strait Of Hormuz. More escalation. This will bring China into the conflict as Iran are still supplying oil to them. If the US interdicts Chinese vessels it's going to get real frightening.
J D Vance failed again. This time to help Orban (Putin's puppet) win the election.
Have people in the US taken this on board? That J D Vance was in Hungary a few days ago campaigning on behalf of Orban, a Putin puppet, who has blocked EU resolutions and actions to help Ukraine?
Vance, like Trump is literally a traitor. They support Putin. They try to damage NATO on Putin's behalf.
If JD Vance wasn't referring to the UK and France with his 'random countries' comment, which countries did he mean then? Alastair and Rory throw down the gauntlet.

Americans need to realise that their time of exceptionalism has passed. The rest of the world is often more capable, certainly more wise (you idiots voted in someone who was committed to destroying your democracy and didn't hide the fact). We simply dont need America anymore and certainly won't continue to tolerate the problems Trump is causing.
It looks like the time of the dollar being the world's reserve currency may be passing because Trump has destroyed the world's confidence in America. No one is going to invest there whilst this uncertainty remains, whilst the chaos Trump creates remains, whilst this war mongering arrogance remains. Whilst the risk America could turn into a fascist dictatorship remains.
The rest of the world is quietly bypassing America, making deals, trading with each other and forming alliances. America will become increasingly irrelevant.
Military might doesn't cut it anymore. Look how Iran has played America like a fiddle. Trumps strategy, if there actually was one, is an object lesson in how not to fight a war.
Yep. It will put gas prices up further for which US citizens will hate Trump (along with the rest of the world). It will also make China more likely to supply Iran with weapons.
Well that was predictable. Trump won't take on the Chinese so his blockade has failed day one.
Beijing has officially warned the U.S. NOT to block or intercept any Chinese ships or oil tankers.
This is the ultimate test of President Trump's "America First" strategy. Washington wants to completely shut down the Strait to starve Iran, but Beijing desperately relies on that oil to keep its massive economy alive. China is explicitly telling the White House that American naval authority does not apply to the Chinese fleet.
The U.S. Navy now faces an impossible, apocalyptic dilemma: Do they let Chinese tankers pass, completely rendering the blockade useless? Or do they aggressively intercept and board a Chinese vessel, instantly triggering a direct military conflict between the world's two largest nuclear superpowers? The Middle East war just became a global war.
