Ah, there it is.

Great job, you fucking moron. You clown. You fool. You imbecile. You've given the despotic theocratic regime you wanted to "decapitate" not only de facto control over one of the biggest strategic shipping assets in the world but a massive new revenue stream. And now that you've thrown up your hands and walked away sob-screaming "I WON I WON I WON" with the Strait still closed, traders are 100% convinced that enough countries will take them up on the offer to make it work

You fucked it up _exactly_ like you fucked up the withdrawal from Afghanistan, but _so_ much worse.

Phenomenal.

Trump is the gift that keeps on giving to every totalitarian and would-be totalitarian shithead on the planet. What utter filth.

Oh, and now he's gonna try to take the US out of NATO. Because he's a petulant little shit surrounded by ass-sucking cultists.

Oh, I realised I'm referencing some internalised material from earlier in the day, to wit:

https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/oil-prices-saw-a-record-rise-in-march-why-the-u-s-may-not-need-to-reopen-the-strait-of-hormuz-1601dccd?mod=home_lead

That _should_ work if you pick enough options.

BUT TO SUM:

Trump said he wants it done he wants it over he wants out and if the Strait isn't open when he's done, it's not open and he doesn't care. He also expressed similar rage-frustration-venting elsewhere.

Regardless, what that means is that he's given a deadline _against himself_, so they know - just like in Afghanistan with the Taliban - how long they just have to wait it out and then they win and get to do whatever they want...

...just like in Afghanistan.

_That's_ what I was referring to.

Fucking moron.

@moira North Korea and Iran are on a whole different fuck the United States thing. It’s surprising that good will was ever given at all

@elebertus The post-WWII order was so much better than anything before it. I'm someone who _doesn't_ see the fall of the Western Roman Empire as a tragedy, but I _do_ see the collapse of this particular international order as one, because holy shit what came before was so. fucking. bad, and what all these complete shits want back is what was there before.

@moira like in the sense of the Roman’s ruling basically most of the ME?

I honestly don’t know what they want other than cheap resources and reliable access to them.

What’s troubling is the Iranian regime truly are bad guys too. It’s a mess.

@elebertus In the sense of the collapse of the Western Empire entirely. No more proconsuls, no more governmental structure, none of it. By the time of the fall in 476, the Empire in the West was barely even a shell of a structure, and wasn't serving, really... anyone.

Some people see that date as a tragedy. I see it as good riddance and acknowledgement of a situation already long in place. Once intra-empire trade collapsed and the Western Empire had instituted feudalism, it's hard to say it had any value left at all, and by the late 400s? It was a puppet of the Franks and a joke. Good riddance.
