Donald Trump: If You Had Any Guts....and Sechel...

 

Donald Trump: Send American Tankers to The Strait of Hormuz and Block it to everyone:

Two ships from Iran’s shipping line IRISL — Shabdis and Berzin have departed from Gaolan Port in China, and it is being claimed that they may be carrying chemicals that can later be used to produce rocket and missile fuel. However, these ships leaving China will have to pass through the same region of the Indian Ocean where, on March 4, 2026, a US submarine sank the Iranian warship IRIS Dena.

In such a situation, if the United States attempts to stop this supply coming from China, the challenge will directly involve China. If that happens, China could completely halt the supply of rare earth minerals,  which would make it almost impossible for the US to manufacture intercepting missiles and all the world depends on for our current technological structure of energy, water, satellites...etc. In other words, no matter what happens, China is positioned to benefit either way. A global Depression in the making!

So Mr. Trump, if you had any guts, you would stop speaking like a man auditioning for the history books and start acting like one. The Strait of Hormuz is not some reality show talking point. It is the world’s pressure point, the narrow throat through which the global oil economy gulps for air. If Iran wants to strangle the region, threaten shipping, and play pirate with a modern state’s toys, then the answer cannot be another carefully worded statement, another tremble of “concern,” another little choreography of restraint for the benefit of diplomats who mistake caution for strength.

Send the American tankers. Block the straits to all traffic. Let them sail straight toward that choke point, and block it! Make the message impossible to misunderstand: this passage does not belong to Tehran, and it does not belong to any regime that thinks terror gives it ownership of international waters. Sometimes deterrence is not a memo. Sometimes it is a steel hull in the water, a flat refusal to blink, and a demonstration that America still understands how to draw a line and mean it. A civilization that cannot protect a sea lane is a civilization already rehearsing its own decline.

And let us be honest about the language of “escalation,” that favorite word of the timid. The same people who panic at the thought of resolve always seem strangely calm when tyrants, militias, and clerics are the ones escalating. They love tension when it is inflicted on everyone else. They call aggression “strategy” when it comes from the enemy, and call strength “provocation” when it comes from us. That is not prudence. That is surrender wearing a red necktie.

The point is not recklessness. The point is clarity. If the world keeps rewarding threats from Iran with patience, then Iran learns patience is weakness. If the West keeps answering force with lectures, then the mullahs will keep betting that nobody has the nerve to stop them. A nation that can move ships, protect lanes, and enforce consequences is a nation that still has a spine. A nation that cannot is just a press release with a flag on it.

So yes, Mr. Trump, the message should be simple: American power is not decorative, and the Strait of Hormuz is not up for negotiation by gangsters in turbans pretending to be statesmen. If you mean what you say, then act like it. History does not remember the cautious. It remembers the ones who had the nerve to move first and make the world adjust.

And when you're not mouthing off about some drunken nonsense, remember if America does not get the Iranians 1000 pounds of nuclear enriched uranium, your children and grandchildren lives will be endangered along with the entire planet's children, much sooner than you can imagine.
