🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports went into effect at 10AM. Here’s what that actually means in practice: When a U.S. Navy vessel intercepts a ship trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz, the options range from a radio warning to the bottom of the ocean: Option 1: Verbal warning to turn back Option 2: Board and seize the vessel Option 3: Warning shots across the bow Option 4: Sink the ship In 1962, JFK imposed a naval "quarantine" on Cuba, deliberately avoiding the word blockade because under international law a blockade is an act of war. The Soviets kept sailing toward the line. For 24 hours the world held its breath. Then the ships turned around. What made Cuba work: both sides had a back channel, neither wanted nuclear war, and Khrushchev had a face-saving exit What’s different now: Iran has declared any vessel approaching the strait a ceasefire violation, the IRGC claims full control of the waterway, and talks just collapsed The first vessel that tests the line will define everything, whether it turns back, gets boarded, or gets fired upon sets the rules for everything that follows JFK left room for diplomacy by calling it a quarantine. Trump has no qualms about calling this what it really is. Source: CNBC, CENTCOM

Ну что же, Венгрия пошла по пути Румынии и прочих соросовских анклавов Европы. Увы. Ничего хорошего венгров не ждёт. Многие это понимают. Но это их выбор. Приветствую, друзья.👋
