Iran Says Strait of Hormuz Will Have 'Fees'

[VMA131Marine]

4. The UN can issue a sternly worded statement ...

but Russia would probably veto it.

The UN is not the World Police. It can facilitate negotiations but it’s not going to prevent Iran from charging fees. And neither, apparently, is the Trump Administration. This is the consequence of electing an idiot as President.

How many times has Trump threatened to completely destroy Iran over the last several weeks and then totally backed down? I’ve lost count. But in the process the US has lost all credibility as a threat to force Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s brain knows only one tactic (badly); he is not a strategic thinker. His tactic is to issue threats to get what he wants because he doesn’t have a concept of the win-win scenario. Plus he seems to think only in two week increments. If a doctor told him he had three weeks to live he would think that was an eternity.
