I will never again vote for a candidate who places the expansionist interests of a foreign government above American sovereignty and the safety of our own citizens. It is the ultimate act of political treachery, transforming a movement of national renewal into a vehicle for foreign entanglement. This subservience is not just a policy failure; it is a fundamental violation of the oath to protect and defend the United States. Our primary allegiance must be to our own nation, not to the 'Greater Israel' projects of war criminals abroad.
Reminder: The Straight of Hormuz was OPEN before Trump launched his war of aggression on Iran.
Trump is to blame for the closure and all the economic consequences that follow. He's the one who set it into motion.
Funny how the U.S. demands Iran reopen the Straight of Hormuz as public infrastructure when the same U.S. routinely restricts other countries from using what I call the "Financial Strait of SWIFT."
The U.S. wields its financial control over the SWIFT system as an economic weapon against countries like Russia, Iran, China, North Korea, Cuba and many more, all via economic sanctions. To then argue that no country has the right to close a waterway because it's "public infrastructure" is entirely disingenuous.
The U.S. empire has zero belief in open infrastructure to empower the world. It just wants control over all the chokepoints so it can weaponize them and punish countries for disobedience.
