https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/6030671-trump-says-strait-of-hormuz-us-territory/

>President Trump claimed during remarks on Long Island, N.Y., on Friday that he will make the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory, despite the fact that Oman and Iran share jurisdiction of the waterway.

>“Pretty soon, I will be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during an address highlighting his administration’s efforts to combat crime in the U.S.

>Trump did not elaborate on how he would make the critical shipping lane a U.S. territory, considering the U.S. does not have jurisdiction over the waterway.

>The Strait of Hormuz is located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Iran is on the strait’s north coast while Oman is on its south coast.

>Roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil and gas flows through the shipping lane. The U.S. war with Iran and subsequent closure of the strait has led to a spike in energy prices across the globe.

>Trump has said since the conflict started roughly six months ago that the U.S. has controlled the strait. He deployed a U.S. naval blockade in the strait twice, claiming U.S. supremacy over the transit of oil exports from the region.

>Iran has pushed back on Trump’s claims that the U.S. controls the waterway. In a post on the social platform X on Wednesday, Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority said that whoever owns it does “not change the reality: the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked and will not be reopened until Iran’s conditions are accepted.”

Don’t you uh need to be able to protect it with military force which is the exact opposite of what America is doing right now?
>>
>>1530016
Jesus christ, Trump, just shut the fuck up.
>>
LMFAO this white boy stupid
>>
>>1530018
Dang, liggerals mad asf. Why?
>>
>>1530022
fr shitlibs so mad right now
We need boots on the ground to stop iran once and for all
>>
>>1530024
Let's just build a wall. Or bomb their ports and stuff.
>>
>>1530016
Trump really is looking at Ukraine assfucking Russia and wants to be in Russia's position
>>
>>1530032
>Iran is a Russian ally
???
>>
>esl shill is confused
>it hurt itself in its confusion...
>>
>>1530028
The only thing terrorists understand is force. Trump is right to blockade them and bomb their hospitals, water supply and electricity until they capitulate. They started this war when they attacked Israel
>>
>>1530046
It was well before any action against Israel that they started this war.
However, attacking Israel is just as they stole Palestine from the ME and should be nuked.
>>
Everything Trump says or does makes IQs LOWER.

Sorry, Trump, if you cannot control the Strait of Hormuz anyway then you cannot make it a territory, either. You DO NOT know what you’re doing even if the war was justified.
>>
>>1530022
Probably because they're talking about making Puerto Rico and D.C. states to pack the Senate, so Trump saying this is hilarious.
>>
>Aw man
>I ran
How's the US ever going to own the Humussy?
>>
>>1530016
Lunacy
>>
>>1530077
Basedacy. Too bad the liggeral side is filled with soft faggots who'd bargain with Iran.
>>
>>1530079
do you get to go outside ever?
>>
>>1530079
I voted for no more wars.
>>
>>1530079
bargain? isn’t that what the orange golem did like a month ago? stupid fuck
>>
>>1530083
>candidate of peace?
>no, more wars!
>>
>>1530022
Do you constantly say liggeral because you are still butthurt about being called bootliggers?
>>
>>1530090
You know, I'm glad you asked. The goal is to divorce modern Democrats and modern "left wingers" from the nomenclature forced upon them by Rush Limbaugh. Reason being there is absolutely nothing liberal about the modern "liberal". Additionally you enjoy believing you're liberal and not dangerously right wing.
>lol how am I right wing?
Modern leftists are intensely invested in dividing people by race and class to a different effect than the radical right. The radical right wants a place for every race (in general) whereas the liggeral wants to invoke feelings of inferiority between races, sexes and classes to cause strife out of a sense of social justice. By making it completely natural for sexes and races to think they're inferior to white males and the rich are actively stealing from the poor. You do absolutely nothing positive.
Progressivism is also a totalitarian ideology as is socialism, and as the modern "left" adopts the absolute power of government forcing societies to fall in line with their extremist bullshit is explicitly right wing. I don't know what retard put socialism and communism on the left side of the political scale, but that idiot was a definite retard.
Additionally it describes what you are perfectly.
>Ligging to attend a function in order to take advantage of free entertainment and refreshments; freeload
That's why you show up to politics. And you claim it's for the greater good.
Plus it rhymes with piggy. A total plus.
There's probably more, but the general idea is basically to undo Limbaugh's folly.
>>
>>1530094
you think groypers are leftists?
>>
>>1530094
Yeah nice try retard you already said a while back it's just liberal+nigger.
>>
>>1530095
>groypers
I literally have on idea what this is. So, I had to google it.
>Followers of Nick Fuentes.
I don't think he's that influential where we'd have to address anything related to him and his followers, but likely they're a different flavor of right winger than the liggeral, and arguably more left wing that progressives and socialists, as the racist right simply wants to be left alone and the power of the government to be lessened (in general).
Keeping in mind that the government is civilized brutal force anyone who wishes to use it's power to control is right wing.
Why would you even care about these people as if they're a large portion of the population?
>>
>>1530096
No I didn't. Initially I said it was to because you're liars. Then someone pointed out ligging was a thing and I said, 'Thanks, I'll claim I knew that all along'
>>
>>1530097
I don't think this bit is working
>>
>>1530101
It's not? How so?
>>
>>1530016
Who is the regime yes man telling Trump he can spontaneously declare foreign territories to be US territory? Why does he believe them?
>>
>>1530124
Steven Miller, genuinely.
>>
>>1530124
>Why does he believe them
Because he's a fucking moron, medically quantifiable as a retard, and now is at the mercy of rapidly advancing dementia.
Basically, he's working on toddler-grade logic of "It's mine because I WANT IT", which is a downgrade from his previous state where he was merely covetous and would at least try to put in the legwork to make that stuff his, even though it pretty much always ended up failing because he's an incompetent retarded moron.
>>
>>1530046
But how could they do this with an underfed under equipped Navy? Or not having ballistic missiles in the area because of awful logistics?

That and remember they have to retrofit the aircraft carriers for steam launchers now.

He's full of shit as usual.
>>
all he has to do is address the world and state, "I hereby declare that the Strait of Hormuz is US territory and will hereby be known as the Strait of Trump."

It's really that simple.
>>
>>1530133
>underfed Navy

just come out and state that you are not American and have never been to America, and have never seen an American sailor. They, and the Army grunts, are fat and out of shape.
>>
>>1530185
>The Straight of Trump.
It'll probably be the Straight of America.
Ironic thing for a gay, country to name a waterway, but based on the Gulf of America, it's more likely that Trump naming it after himself.

However, there will likely be at least one building or monument with Trump's name on it in the Straight of America.
>>
The tragedy is that this damage will far outlive Trump. How are US adversaries supposed tot take any threat seriously after this shit, how can allies trust any future president, how can voters?
>>
>>1530124
He's a cult leader and figurehead and whatever retarded shit he says or does just makes his followers clap like seals. They probably think this is some 9000 IQ power move and Iran is literally shaking right now. Even if people in his admin know he's retarded they don't dare cross him because he's keeping them all in power and if the country collapses they think they'll be okay as long as they're at the top.
>>
>>1530226
The message is clear. You mess with Israel and America will kill itself in retaliation
>>
>>1530228
Indeed and MAGA cultists will sacrifice themselves to take and secure the Straight of America.
Iran is fucked and will no longer be livable land as we flood the are with Grndr faggotry.
Muslims fucks are now on notice.
(this declaration is likely a feint you stupid TDS faggots)
>>
This is Jimmy Carter's fault, for real, and everyone should just live with that.
>>
trump is surely not to blame, this is all Marcus Licinius Crassus' fault
>>
>>1530236
Arabs don't care about Grindr. They use Goatr.
>>
>>1530242
It was Carternomics that ruined this country. Dems just blamed it on Reagan
