I swear if I hear another white fuck screech about "This is a breach of international law" when discussing the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, I am going to scream.
Not only is Hormuz wholly within Omani and Iranian territorial waters, with Article 33 of the Convention of the Law of the Sea making it clear that within the contiguous zone, so they can do what they want.
But these same dickheads have spent years saying nothing about Israel's actions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria. All extreme breaches of international law, all ignored by white fucks.
The same people dismantling international law are now acting like it's the most important thing to them, even while they're deliberately misapplying it to continue their neo-colonial bullshit
