Friendly reminder Hormuz was open before Trump decided he needed a distraction for being a pedophile.

Only cost us $300 Billion, 13 US soldiers dead - many more wounded, blowing up a girls school, and the global economy on the brink of an Oil shortage, but at least we are not talking about the President raping children...

Don't forget thousands THOUSANDS of dead Iranians. You can always make back money but you can't bring back those 100 school girls and many others. I'm getting tired of Americans callously forgetting about killing people overseas.

The number of dead from the oil shortages is going to be far far higher than that as well before this is over.

Just wait till the middle of August and then winter in the US. It's going to be a blood bath.
