Straight of Hormuz, with Buddha imposed, text: The realization that the lack of oil isn't causing your suffering, but the desire for oil itself, on your path to enlightenment.

Opposing independence because you don't like the SNP is like not buying a house because you don't like the wallpaper. We can redecorate later. First we need the keys.
BREAKING: The SNP has passed a pro-independence motion telling the UK Government to begin to prepare for Scotlandβs exit from the Union
In 1915 Britain was at war in the Middle East. It was utterly dominant in one particular domain- the naval.

It doesn't matter where it goes. They'll talk tough for a while then cave in to the demands of big business once there's something else distracting us. Same as usual.
βBut, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.β

Brilliant strategy. Vietnam was famously over in a few days, the regime was successfully changed, and definitely didn't end up with a humiliating evacuation at the end.
But strictly on a "if you pretend you're only using our bases for defensive purposes, we'll pretend to believe you," basis.
The strait of hormuz is open for transit defense secretary Pete hegseth said. The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping he said it is open for transit should Iran not do that
my living room is ready for guests. the only thing prohibiting entrance right now is i am blindly firing a 30.06 at my door. should i stop doing that, it will be perfectly safe to enter.
As this administration has on occasion given even the NRA cause to say "Whoa there - are you sure about that?" On a couple of occasions, I'd imagine they think the above is a completely normal way to welcome guests.

Tweet by Kyle Griffin reporting that the Trump administration has lifted sanctions on Russian oil currently at sea, allowing it to be shipped to buyers worldwide as energy prices surge during the Iran conflict.

The billionaire class are scared of this movement.
