Modern navy's use "geo-location" to record the exact location of every mine so they themselves can avoid them.

That information was likely destroyed in one of #DonnieDumbass' attacks. #DisasterPresidency #TooStupidToBePresident

EVEN IF #DisasterDon declared victory and ended his war with #Iran tomorrow, it would STILL take MONTHS to get back to normal.

Iran mined the #StraitOfHormuz and reportedly don't know where every mine is. That means mine sweepers finding & removing them.

Want a bargaining chip, #DonnieDumbass? How about offering to de-mine the Straight for them (and us) in exchange for... whatever it is you are demanding today? 🤔

As is so often the case.

#Republicans (some #Dems too but far less often) don't ask questions when they hear something that appears to confirm what they already believe (or WANT to believe.)

o "The election was stolen."
o "Millions of illegal immigrants are receiving free health care."
o "California is paying for 'illegals' to get 'boob jobs'." (yes, that one is real. I heard it Friday.)

#DonnieDumbass claiming "The #StraitOfHormuz is open" Friday was pure Market Manipulation.

@stux

I've already heard at least one T**** official call The Persian Gulf: "The Gulf of #Iran" (oops or just stupid?)

(Iran was of course once called "Persia", so he's not wrong.)

I guess if #DonnieDumbass can rename "The Gulf of Mexico", Iran can rename The Persian Gulf. 🙄

#China already has such a HUGE headstart over us in the #EV industry that #DonnieDumbass' blockade is only going to help cement their position as the #1 exporter of electric vehicles to the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, American automakers who made the brilliant decision to "dial back" (read: completely discontinue) entire lines of EV production after #DonTheCon was elected, making #EVs less popular, are going to find themselves frantically playing catch-up for the next decade. 🤦‍♂️

#Iran wasn't charging tolls *before* the invasion. The only reason they closed The Straight was to hurt the U.S.. No more than 2-3 ships a day were getting thru, and they weren't being charged b/c they were Iranian allies. It was actually trying up what is left of Iran's navy.

#DonnieDumbass' blockade is a HUGE GIFT to Iran. Not only do they not have to bear the cost of closing/mining the Straight, but they STILL get to hurt America (while helping #Russia.)
