@BrunoAlvessi @PolitlcsUK Looks quite serious. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

@connellgm51 @PolitlcsUK Right! I'm sure an isolated occurrence impacts the performance of the entire US Navy.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer says the UK will lead a defensive military mission with France to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz

@BrunoAlvessi @PolitlcsUK Yes, that's why I said seamen. toilets don't work on properly on one of your newest carriers.

@connellgm51 @PolitlcsUK That would be the Navy, not the army.

@BrunoAlvessi @PolitlcsUK I don't doubt it. They need to sort out the toilets though for those poor seamen.

@connellgm51 @PolitlcsUK US Army has the most advanced countermine program in the world. You can fact check it if you're interested. Most advanced vehicles, tech, systems. British Army is a close second though.

@BrunoAlvessi @PolitlcsUK Actually, it will probably be about mine detection and clearance. The UK and France are the best at this. The US can't do it.

@PolitlcsUK Cowards are easily identified by their unrelenting commitment to hiding behind the braves until the battle is won. Only then will they appear and pathetically attempt to drape themselves in glorious apparel that they neither earned nor deserved. No one is fooled.

@Auslander68 @UKRRichard @bugyi_fia @EricLDaugh The amount of money you spend on the military, it's not surprising it's that big, America.

Do you not have reading comprehension or do you just not know what you’re talking about? A carrier GROUP is not just the carrier but all the escorts needed to protect it. You need an additional 6 ships beyond the carrier. You have those on order also? I look forward to seeing them operational in what, about 20 years?

🚨 LMAO! Some European leaders have reportedly begun drawing up "NATO WITHOUT AMERICA" plans President Trump has made them PANICKED they might not get a free ride anymore 🤣 The "European NATO" would supplement US military assets with European ones, per WSJ Can you believe it's THAT hard for them to just let America use our bases and NATO airspace whenever we want, to do a favor for the world? NATO SecGen Mark Rutte even admitted: "If anyone thinks here that the European Union or Europe can defend itself without the US, KEEP ON DREAMING! YOU CAN'T! We can't!" "Europe — if you REALLY want to go it alone, and those of you who are planning for that, FORGET that you can ever get there with 5% [GDP for defense spending]. It will be 10%! You have to build up your own nuclear capability!" "That costs billions and billions of euros. You will lose them. In that scenario, you would lose the ultimate guarantor of our freedom, which is the U.S. nuclear umbrella. So, hey, good luck!"

@Auslander68 @UKRRichard @bugyi_fia @EricLDaugh On order, new ones.👍 Built in the UK the Navy likes working toilets. youtube.com/shorts/wFC6QhU…

@UKRRichard @bugyi_fia @EricLDaugh Why don’t you send one of your carrier groups down and show us how it’s done? Oh yeah, you don’t have an operational one anymore.

@robpgole @EricLDaugh They can't.

@EricLDaugh The economic squeeze (banking and exports) will cripple an economy teetering on the edge. How are they going to pay all of the members of the military, IRGC and Basij?

🚨 WOW! Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent is opening up the bank accounts of IRANIAN REGIME officials through our Gulf allies that Iran so recklessly attacked He's even contacting CHINA "We are partnering with our Gulf allies who are much more willing to share the bank accounts of members of the Iranian regime in their countries." "We are reaching out to banks, including Chinese banks, to remind them that any Iranian goods and the purchases thereof are forbidden, and that the dollars would be sanctioned, and that we will press for secondary sanctions if there's a problem." The regime is on the run 🔥

@MarioNawfal It'll all be over by the time that lot finishes with their summits

🇫🇷🇬🇧 France and the UK are done waiting for Washington to solve the Strait of Hormuz crisis Macron and Starmer will co-chair a conference in Paris on Friday, bringing together non-belligerent nations willing to join a defensive mission The goal is simple: restore freedom of navigation in the strait Europe isn’t joining America's blockade, it’s building an alternative to it Source: AP

@modemode99999 @Xking332 It was before the war started.

@Xking332 Lmao. I'm sure you also think Iran is winning. Long 🍞 bread queues just appeared in Tehran, you moron. You are an absolute idiot. Iran is currently in Europe begging European countries to pressure the Americans to keep the peace talks going. Their economy is ruined. Idiot

Iran is demanding 95 billion from Dubai. They sent evidence to the UN proving Dubai and the UAE were involved in the war. Dubai was responsible for hundreds of Iranian deaths. They were also responsible for the damages to their infrastructure. Now Iran wants compensation. If the UAE refuses to pay, Iran is considering increasing toll fees on the Hormuz. The UAE's entire economy runs on that route. That means Iran has total control of the UAE's economy now. The UAE's economy is already collapsing. Dubai is facing a dangerous food crisis. Fresh supplies are running out because the routes are disrupted. Prices are going up. Food, rent, everything is becoming unaffordable for normal people. If they don't pay Iran what they owe, it's going to get much worse. Iran has also asked Saudi to pay for damages.

@CollinsofYork @MarioNawfal 2 months 👍

1 billion barrels of oil is not enough for a country of 1.4 billion people and with high manufacturing. If China stops buying oil, 1 billion barrels will be gone in 90 days - China consumes about 16 million barrels of oil per day. China diversified, but those sources - Venezuela, Iran, Russia, Nigeria, Angola etc are being either squeezed or wooed.

🇨🇳🇮🇷 China’s actually in a strong spot despite the Hormuz blockade. It gets oil from everywhere, not just one place, and even now Iranian oil is still reaching China. Yeah, it’s taken a hit, around 20% less imports. But here’s the thing, China has over 1 billion barrels stored. Even if Iranian oil stops for 2 months, it only uses about 10% of its reserves. Basically, China saw this coming and prepared way ahead of time. @KobeissiLetter

@zappviolet @itswpceo @cardon_brian Doubt China will start a war with the US in the middle of an oil crisis. War uses a LOT of oil. Would be a different story in Chinese territory though.

@itswpceo @cardon_brian The Chinese ship in question was not coming from an Iranian port, so is not affected by the US blockade. China is all talk just like IRGC. China knows they can’t win against the US Military.

🇺🇸HUMILIATING MOMENT for Trump & America Trump Orders Full Naval Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz… 🇨🇳China warns: “Don’t touch our tankers or we will teach you a lesson!” 🇨🇳Then a Chinese tanker that is under US sanctions sails right through the middle of the American blockade. China shows they don’t care at all. 🇨🇳China has the largest navy in the world in terms of the total number of warships. 1. 🇨🇳 China — 841 vessels 2. 🇷🇺 Russia — 747 vessels 3. 🇺🇸 United States — 465 vessels 4. 🇮🇳 India — 343 vessels 5. 🇮🇩 Indonesia — 338 vessels 6. 🇰🇵 North Korea — 332 vessels 7. 🇹🇭 Thailand — 304 vessels 8. 🇮🇹 Italy — 285 vessels 9. 🇸🇪 Sweden — 279 vessels 10. 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka — 275 vessels

@itswpceo Not really, they're not charging China tolls or India. They were going through anyway. So in effect they're not making any more money than they were before.

@sv374sv @HoldenRand98829 @emma6USA @BredsguardDalen m.energytrend.com/news/20221018-…(IEA,be%20underestimated%20for%20electric%20vehicles.

@HoldenRand98829 @emma6USA @BredsguardDalen You get it that cheap to subsidise oil companies. When China release solid state batteries in the 2030ish they will have about 3x the range of lithium and will charge in minutes. This will be the end of the ICE engine. Im already seeing chinese EVs everywhere

This isn’t the Straits of Hormuz… This is the Gulf of America. 🇺🇸 Hundreds of supertankers from Every corner of the planet are racing to Texas & Louisiana to fill up on the sweetest, cheapest, most American oil on Earth. The globalist chokehold is Broken. America is the new gas station for the planet. 🔥🔥🔥

@FourthSonSouth @ChrisOlechoski @Its_ereko If that was legal everyone would be doing it. If you mean the Suez Canal, that's a man made canal, so is Panama.

@ChrisOlechoski @Its_ereko They don’t stop ships in international waters. They collect toll like so many states do in their waters.

🚨🇨🇳 CHINA JUST WARNED THE US Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun today: "We have trade and energy agreements with Iran. We expect others not to interfere in our affairs. The Strait of Hormuz is open to us." This is a direct response to the US naval blockade on Iran. China is not asking. China is stating. The US can blockade all it wants. China will still send its ships. Still buy its oil. Still protect its interests. The empire just got put on notice. The Strait of Hormuz is not American water. And China is not backing down. This is how a multipolar world fights back. Not with threats. With facts. The strait is open to China. Period.

@kesava_ananth @A_K_Mandhan Not really, they are sanctioned, they take the Yuan to get round those.

@A_K_Mandhan USD is not safe. Trump has been trying to control Fed. More and more trade are happening outside of dollar. Iran war has given a kick to petrodollars. Sensible to diversify to gold.

CHINA HAS DUMPED $623 BILLION IN U.S. TREASURY HOLDINGS. NOW IT HOLDS ONLY $694 BILLION - THE LOWEST SINCE 2008. MEANWHILE, CHINA'S GOLD RESERVES HAVE PUMPED FOR 17 MONTHS IN A ROW, TO $343 BILLION - A NEW HIGH. THEY'RE EXITING THE SYSTEM...

@MICHAELD1121 @A_K_Mandhan Yes, Japan and the UK hold the most.

@A_K_Mandhan Very misleading …. There are other countries who have added exceptionally large tbill holdings at the same time China reduces… foreign tbill holdings are still very high

@sh23315176 @World_Affairs11 😂 China buys more from the Saudis, and increasingly Canada, considerably more. However, the oil bought from Iran is heavily discounted enabling cheap mfg.

@World_Affairs11 Iran and China biggest losers in this.

BREAKING: 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia fully restores East-West oil pipeline, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz and pumping 7,000,000 barrels per day. Saudi Arabia says it needs no more strait of Hormuz.

@piersmorgan Basically saying, if it's not open to all, it's open to none. The way Iran wants to do it is to not allow the US or anyone they consider allies through, for these it won't be any different, it will mainly affect Asian countries.

Sorry, WHAT!? So, having demanded the Strait be opened on pain of all Iranian civilisation being ended, President Trump is now going to shut it himself?

@whereangelsdare @FurkanGozukara Yep, UK are world leaders at mine sweeping. AI driven, stand off mine hunting. AI drones finding and neutralizing mines without risking ships. The French are up there as well. The US is not so good at this, they use the UK and France.

@FurkanGozukara No one can remove or locate the aquatic mines except one country. US doesn't have the expertise nor equipment.

A telling reality check on Fox News. Former US Navy Commander Tom Sauer admits the Pentagon has no confirmation of where Iranian mines actually are. US forces are blindly searching a massive danger zone with divers and drones. Iran completely paralyzed the Strait.

@KembreyNigel @afneil Italy and Germany have as well.

@afneil It does counter treasonous backstabbing rats like Macron doing deals with terrorists

President Trump: US Navy to blockade “any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz,” after peace talks with Iran collapsed in Islamabad. Not immediately clear to me how this helps. More like another nail in the coffin of an already ailing world economy. Anyway here’s his full statement. Read it for yourselves.
