  • US Strait of Hormuz blockade

    From Joseph Pereira to All on Wed Apr 15 04:26:52 2026

    Trump indicated that the US would block the Strait of Hormuz, but yesterday twenty ships paid for by Iran had already sailed through without being stopped by the US. China had already warned the US not to stop its ships.

    In true Trump style, the blockade was merely bluff, and China saw right through it. Incidentally, I heard that the top brass of the US Navy did not view Trump's announcement via social media as an order. Consequently, they refused (rightly) to respond to the nonsense expressed by Trump on the internet.
