    I’d hope global reaction will be anger against US. If Israel had paused its genocide of Lebanon, 20 ships/day would have flowed out of SoH. Now it will be 0. Trump just threated NATO and other allied flag ships.

    Way out is for world to negotiate with Iran to pay equivalent revenue to tolls in order to have SoH fully open. World paying instead of US/Israel, if world is too timid to show anger to US.

      I’d like to see the yanks threaten Spanish or other Nato ally ships, lol, that’s an automatic article 5. Furthermore, TACO doesn’t have the balls or the means to block Chinese chips.

      My dream now is some dumbass yank soldier fucks up and starts a war between China and the US. It would be beautiful to see the superiority complex of the yanks faced with the realities of a more advanced twice as large country.
