We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
I don't think that's fair in this instance. If you are going to eventually open the strait to all (which he's said is the longer term goal), you firstly have to get control of it. That probably means in the short term blocking the lackeys that Iran is letting through, or have had to pay a ransom to get through.
ReplyDelete"'...begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," Trump said. The US military had said Saturday that two Navy warships transited through the strait to begin clearing it of mines and ensure it was a "safe pathway" for tankers, a claim denied by Tehran."
ReplyDeleteAnd the major problem is that "he said" when it comes to this president really has diminishing credibility, such that "Tehran said" probably has *more* veracity. Which doesn't say a lot.
Further: "longer-term goals" for a person with the attention span of a teenage guppy only last hours. Galt only knows what the plan is for tomorrow.
