I mean, if you look at some Ukrainian towns and cities, they have netting all over them because of the threat.

of these drones and so you have you know interesting defensive techniques so nations are going to ukraine in order to learn uh information and ukraine's out there striking deals in the middle east to rebuild the security umbrella um you know uh what's the expression uh that uh you know in the absence

of a power, whether it's the US or otherwise, there are things that come in to fill that void, right?

It's not like the US strategy of so-called America first is now America alone.

I did a video on it this morning talking about just the weakened position that the US is in.

I mean, just think about it.

You have Iranian social media accounts making posts like this.

The Strait of Hormuz is in social media.

If someone blocks you, you just can't block them back.

We've heard these stories about Malawian flag, technically Chinese ships, that have been able to go in and out of the Strait of Hormuz.

By and large, even though Donald Trump claims 34 ships have been able to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, loaded with all of this liquid gold and all this oil, it's just not true.

There's been a few ships that have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, and they basically still...

are able to get past this blockade, even though you have CENTCOM saying no ships have been able to break the blockade.

It's impenetrable, the blockade.

Well, I mean, there's a ship called the Rich Starry that got through the Strait of Hormuz.

There's limited traffic.

But just the very idea that Donald Trump's plan is, how do we open up the Strait of Hormuz?

Let's close it even more.

Let's do a blockade of Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz.

That will show them
