The other thread got locked - while we are still ongoing with the 'War' .... there's stuff going on every day it seems, whether it's negotiations, threats, blockades or watching Chinese ships sail thru the blockade. Figure a new thread is warranted.

Question at this point - same as the original question/comment: What is the objective for the USA? Does anyone actually know? Does anyone think Trump knows? Or are we at a point Trump is trying to end this with no more loss of face and embarrassment, but he doesn't know how?

If the USA applies the blockade to all countries attempting to move oil and gas out of the straits of hormuz, it will speed up the process to reach an agreement, imo.

If the USA chooses to make side deals for some counties, the blockaide will end up being a mess, imo.

Disagree.

The USA isn't going to initiate or block a Russian, Chinese or Indian vessel. A Chinese vessel sailed thru after the announcement already. Saudi Arabia is getting antsi ... All Trump continues to do is prove the US is unstable and push former allies away while paving the way for China to look stable and a more attractive partner. Coming soon .... De-dollarization and loss of US $ power and influence

At least that is what some hope for. This country is turning communist. Now you have states looking to make citizens pay "bail" before they can move out of state.

According to you communists have been asking over forever. It seems as if that's what you call anyone and everyone who promotes helping people over big business.

I promote helping both people and big business.

I am not for helping freeloaders. Screw them.

Is that what you call the millions of people who live in states where wages are so low they receive government benefits? I would have thought at some point you would have gotten tired of your tax dollars paying corporate welfare but I guess not.

While corporations rake in billions your tax dollars pay for their employees benefits. You're paying for those profits. And then you call others communists?

I have a better idea. Maybe instead of "helping freeloaders" we just let their children starve and go homeless or build orphanages for millions of children? How does that sound to you?
