this is literally the free market
"world war 3 would be announced through twitter shitposting" isn't the future i thought i'd have
>>538887035>Iran's FM stealing Trump's own tweeting cadenceBased
Bro there’s no way this toll gets passed on to consumers and inflates prices…right?
isnt this just piracy
>>538887035Who was Iran guarding the ships from lmao? Who else other than Iran was bombing ships? Pay us to protect you from us xD
>>538887205Every country with a population above 10 million which happens to possess a coastline basically practices legal piracy to some level or another
>>538887222Thats how crooks do it. Mobs did that for a long time
>>538887035Wait, was the fight with Iran a whole ass scam?
>>538887122> thuglife
>>538887035> The US gave up Pax Americana over israel Lol, lmao even
>>538887035Lmao enjoy the "free market" goys. NO NOT LIKE THAT!
>>538887205>isnt this just piracykinda
>>538887142Thre is NO WAY anyone pays trump the Tolllol how is he even gonna enforce it??
>>538887035crazy how mighty irrelevant nations are
>>538887035Trump is a complete fucking retard.He's blown his 'NO-ONE CAN CHARGE FOR PASSAGING HORMOOZ!' right out the fucking water now. IRGC must LOVE dealing with this fucking cretin, everyday is a new Christmas.
>>538887205>isnt this just piracyI don't think the west really has a leg to stand on regarding that claim.Iran considers it territorial waters, so the US will have to beat them hard enough so they change their mind or the US and her vassals will have to concede.They are also enforcing a blockade, which is an act of war and a part of the war that the US started.So Iran are playing the game by the US rules and tempo... and still winning.
>>538887205it was common practice for countries to toll their straits before the first british, and subsequently american crusade for free trade. now only turkey and the suez/panama charge tollsit absolutely is piracy to toll a strait on the other side of the world though
>>538887901Obama made it out alive, but the past two presidents got progressively more retarded, and I don't expect Trump to make it through this term.I've wondered for some time if they were being slowly poisoned.
>>538887035It's not, but it's revealing the detached arrogance of these free market niggers. All of that laissez-faire crap is shit that you chose to eat and then you bluffed yourself with your feel good narratives to believe that eating shit is good. If you're some corporate entity, remember: you exist as a legal fiction only because the American people fund and serve in the military that secures your trade routes and wares. You niggers convinced yourselves that were highly intelligent and even competent, but you're just niggers. I enjoy watching you being taken down a peg. I enjoy watching your illusions crumble around you. It's funny.
>>538887765IF by some big ass miracle he manages to impose it, the only ones actually paying it would be the ships still stuck in the gulf and they will only pay it once. Nobody will pay it ever again because absolutely no ships would go through the strait at those extortion prices
>>538887035Based Araghahi Chad
>>538887035Imagine if you went up to a public water fountain and started drinking from it but all of a sudden some nigger pulls out a knife and demands you pay him 20 dollars to use the fountain as a service fee for making sure nobody stabs you as you use the water fountain.Thats what Iran is doing.
>>538888215IranDoes notOwnThe Strait.Its not theirs and it never was.
>>538888343>I've wondered for some time if they were being slowly poisoned.Its called being too fucking old to ever hold the office. Obama was the last president that had some fucking coherency to what he was doing because he was young enough to still have his head in the game. Remember what it was like to never even consider the possibility that the president of the united states should take a cognitive test?
>>538891632And they didn't contest that issue until we started bombing them and gave them a reason to use our reliance on it against us. A tactic that we have known they would use for decades, because its an extremely obvious and effective tactic and one which we never had a good counter to, hence why previous administrations never pulled the trigger on a war with Iran. There wasn't a crises here until we caused one. What we are dealing with are the consequences of our own actions.
>>538891632Then how come no one can cross it without their say so?
>>538887035Its so unfair to kill the old leaders and then we have to use our 80 year old leader to defeat all their hungry 40-50ish year old leaders who use Chinese AI to figure out what English means. Its insanely unfair to Trump.
but nobody charged for passage before so why is this all of a sudden a thing?
>>538887035IRANNY CANT PROVIDE SECURE AND SAFE PASSAGE WHEN IRANNY IS BLOCKADED NOTHING SAFE AND SECURE ABOUT THE IRANNY LANE NOTHING AT ALLPLAY HORMUZZY GAMES WIN HORMUZZY PRIZES IRANNY
>>538892684Iran can no longer go back to pretending that they don't have the ability to shut down the strait at any time, and indeed it isn't to their benefit to do so. At this point they are committed to the effort, they've already taken all of the risk involved in laying claim to it and its paid off. So a constant reminder of their control over it, int he form of a token toll amount for passage, is geopolitically sound because it acts as a warning to other countries not to fuck with them again.And then on top of that dickwaving reason, Iran got hit hard during the war and incurred costs and losses. In a situation such as this, terms of a peace deal would often include reparations. But Iran knows that Trump would never agree to pay reparations to Iran, it would make him look INCREDIBLY weak and even if it was a great deal his ego would never allow it. So having a transit fee on the strait in place of reparations accomplishes the same ends of allowing Iran to pay for the damage they suffered from the war, while allowing the US to save face.Trump, however, is being very strongly pressured by Israel to continue the war. The only way to 'win' the war in any meaningful way is to take unambiguous control of the strait of hormuz, and hold it. Which will be very expensive. It costs Iran almost nothing to block the strait, they live there, but the US would have to keep a decent sized military presence parked in the region pretty much permanently to keep Iran from closing the strait again if they wanted to (and thats assuming that we CAN stop them from closing it at all, which the math does not work out for us on but that's a separate issue).So unlike Iran, the US would basically have to charge money to control the strait. Otherwise we are bleeding money every day we spend over there. So if we do this, we have to make people pay huge tolls to us just to break even.
Iran won
Trump won, white incel losers seething

My house alone is worth more than your entire lineage!BIAAAAAATCH!
>>538887035>outjew the international jewbased
>>538893394We would have to bring our ships in range of their weapons and if we do that we will keep getting hit. If we start losing ships we probably won't be able to keep it up for long
>>538887142instead of a 20% fee, you should be more worried about hyperinflation. if the US cant control the strait, all the dollars we sent overseas will come back here and we will get the fastest inflation the world has ever seen
>>538887205It is for the US since the Persian Gulf is nowhere even remotely close to us.
>>538887205you wouldn't download a strait
>>538887302>asscamLink?
They are in this together to segue into charging for the StraitIt will be 15% and split 50/50 between Iran and the US
>>538893394yeah but they never did it before. nobody even paid attention to the strait. so what was the whole point of this exercise? just a mindless quagmire to help kikes grab more land and eat more baby penis?
