Every time these weird leftist talk down black people in government I think of this scene in: "I'm going to get you sucka"

@BRICSinfo Buy oil in America sell it somewhere else or more profit. Morons

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 121 empty oil tankers are now heading to the United States as President Trump urges countries hit by Strait of Hormuz disruption to buy American energy.

BTW when you talk about Epstein Chavez, Clinton, and Diddy. Being powerful and having sexual assault rumors seem to go hand in hand. These guys never seem to have the harem of women that respect them, and only have ones that they have taken advantage of and everyone seems to know.

@vrk_rick @POTUS This is so dumb.

.@POTUS just created massive new demand for U.S. oil at a time when global prices are already skyrocketing. The blockade taking effect today will further disrupt China’s supply lines, driving even more demand toward American energy markets. China needs the Strait of Hormuz far more than we do. A brilliant strategic masterstroke by President Trump.

@Ken_LoveTW A counter blockade of who. Chinese ships, Russian ones, Indian.

If Iran refuses to yield, America's most powerful lever may be a counter-blockade of Hormuz. A parallel example is with Nicolás Maduro’s Venezuela, where U.S. pressure on oil exports, effectively a maritime chokehold, pushed the economy into deep crisis. Applied to Iran, the same playbook would target its core lifeline: oil. If Tehran rejects Washington’s final terms, President Trump has two options he has openly referenced. One is direct military escalation. The other, more strategic path, is a blockade centered on the Strait of Hormuz, which is the artery through which Iran’s oil exports flow. The logic is straightforward. By sealing off access to the strait, the U.S. could prevent Iran from exporting oil, cutting off its primary source of foreign currency. At the same time, it would increase pressure on major buyers like China and Europe, forcing them to confront supply disruptions and diplomatic consequences. Several key elements define this strategy. First, Iran’s refusal to compromise on nuclear issues remains a hard red line for Washington. That sets the stage for escalation if negotiations fail. Second, the blockade would not require U.S. forces to enter the strait itself. A perimeter blockade outside the waterway would be enough, intercepting vessels attempting to enter or exit. Third, enforcement would be strict. Any ship paying transit fees to Iran would be subject to seizure, effectively eliminating Iran’s ability to monetize passage through the strait. This leads to the critical shift in dynamics. Under Iran’s own blockade, it retains an advantage: its ships and those of "friendly nations" can still pass. Iran even floated the idea of charging transit fees, potentially earning millions per tanker. In that scenario, Iran exerts pressure on others without fully hurting itself. A U.S. counter-blockade flips that equation completely. Once enforced, Iranian tankers would also be unable to pass. "Friendly nations" would face the same restrictions. And with the added threat of U.S. seizure, no ship would risk paying Iran’s transit fees. What was once a source of leverage becomes a dead asset overnight. In other words, this is a “mirror strategy”, neutralizing Iran’s move by applying the same constraint, but with greater reach and enforcement capability. Technologically, the U.S. holds the advantage. With advanced satellite surveillance and tracking systems, virtually every vessel moving through the region can be monitored in real time. Avoiding detection would be nearly impossible, making enforcement credible. Some argue that such a blockade would drive global oil prices even higher. But the counterargument is that prices have already risen due to instability in the strait. Additional restrictions may not materially change that trajectory. What does change, however, is who bears the cost. Under Iran’s blockade, others suffer more than Iran itself. Under a U.S. blockade, Iran becomes the primary victim. Its economy, already fragile, depends heavily on oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz. Remove that channel, and the financial system begins to suffocate. Layer on top of that the standing threat of U.S. strikes against critical infrastructure—power plants, logistics hubs, and military assets, and the pressure intensifies further. By deploying a counter-blockade, the U.S. could effectively strip Iran of its strongest bargaining chip. What once looked like leverage becomes a liability. From this perspective, failing to reach an agreement will prove costly for Tehran, as its most powerful card, the ability to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz, can be neutralized by the same tactic turned against it.

@zriboua The economic shock is being held back by market manipulation. And has not even occurred yet.

On the Strait of Hormuz: I said it before and I will say it again: Iran’s move to weaponize the Strait of Hormuz ranks among its most strategically reckless decisions. They cannot sustain control over it. Their military position does not allow for prolonged enforcement against determined opposition. More importantly, it was never a credible bargaining chip. Once escalated, it has to be relinquished without meaningful concessions. The only asset that has ever carried real negotiating weight is the nuclear program. The logic behind the move is also flawed. The expectation was to trigger a global economic shock large enough to force a halt in U.S. operations. That outcome has not materialized. Instead, it has accelerated the opposite dynamic. Regional and global actors are now investing in routes and infrastructure designed to bypass the Strait altogether. In trying to turn Hormuz into leverage, Iran is diminishing its long-term strategic value. Very stupid of IRGC.

@zriboua Y'all keep trying to reframe this as a bad decision on the Iran part. Yes they can control it, they don't need to control it forever.

Before she made history in space, Dr. Mae Jemison served as a Peace Corps Medical Officer in Liberia and Sierra Leone from 1983-85. On International Day of Human Space Flight, we’re honoring her path from Peace Corps service to becoming the first African American woman to travel to space and congratulating the Artemis II crew on their successful mission and safe return to Earth.

The real story isn't the scrubbing - it’s that plans built on a vague "POC" foundation are legal sitting ducks that fuel right-wing opposition. By refusing to disaggregate for ADOS NYC, the City ensures non-ADOS groups benefit disproportionately from our lineage's struggle.

don’t rly wear this style often anymore so I decided to sell my Miu Miu platform sneakers, pour one out lads…😔

This brother is winning in every possible way there is to win at life. ✊🏾🫡

In a few weeks they will say ADOS was not talking about this. Grab some extra canned food and dry cerea, oat meal and powder juice. And fill a 2 gallon of gas. If this straight stuff is not fixed by mid summer, the fall planting seasons are going to create famine and refugee issues.

They are about to rewrite history. And say she was always for these things. Noung dame well in 2016 she wasn't. And Obama was saying the opposite.

@CBSNews Trump: We are blocking the straight. Iran:

BREAKING: The U.S. military will begin President Trump's blockade of maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on Monday, according to U.S. Central Command.

@CBSNews Blocked the already blocked straight.
