And the most arrogant part? I have heard repeatedly: “If Trump wants us to transit Hormuz, he should fly to London and engage with us there. We are the center of shipping, not him.”
Here is reality. Yes, we hit Iran. But we don’t need their oil. We don’t need the fertilizer, the food, or the cheap Chinese products transiting those straits.
America has enough wealth and resources to sustain itself. Cutting off world trade would hurt the average American. It would absolutely devastate Europe.
If I were Trump, I’d keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until the CEOs of the major shipping and oil companies come to Washington. You want American escorts? You want American capital? You want American military power clearing your sea lanes?
Then show up. Or stay home and explain to your shareholders why you didn’t.
I’ve had enough of their arrogance. And I pray the President has too.
