In fact, the Strait of Hormuz is being run like a fucking toll road by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which was not the case before the war.

So Iran's gotten in a stronger position because of the war.

Yeah, we made the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps hold 20% of the world's energy hostage.

If we walk away from that,

And our only solution is to ask like the Royal Navy, as Pete XS said, the big bad British Navy, like as if it's, you know, the 19th century.

Like those countries are not going to bail Trump out because he's treated them like shit because he's tariffed them.

He's insulted them.

He's humiliated them.

He's threatened to invade Greenland.

Why would they come bail Trump out by opening up the strait?

And by the way, even if they decided they want to do that.

Do you know how long it would take the Europeans to put together some naval armada to then go down to the Strait of Hormuz and escort tankers?

Like months.

So none of this makes any sense.

And meanwhile, while it's happening, Trump is deploying the 82nd Airborne and all these special forces to the region.

So maybe he's just saying all these things about peace to calm markets, but we're going to have ground troops.

We just don't know at this point.

And that is terrifying, given the scale of the crisis that we're in, that-

People that follow this as closely as we do can make no sense of what the hell is going on.

So and first of all, I do want to say on the 20 tankers, like because Trump also went out and said that Iran made this tribute to us of letting.
