But, have you considered that Donald Trump doesn’t give a fuck, and does what he wants? If he wants to charge a 20% fee for going through a body of water he doesn’t own, who’s gonna stop him?

You actually think trump or hegseth have any idea how to even coordinate a blockade across the entire strait? They already fired most of the people in the military who actually knew what they were doing.
Trump is just spouting bullshit because he doesn’t want to look like a loser because Iran is playing him like a fool with their control of the strait. Trump won’t do shit, remember TACO.

They have no idea how to coordinate a blockade effectively. But they know how to sound all tough and convince their supporters that they are kicking ass, even if all the missiles are gone and we can’t do shit anymore.
