“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” said Trump

In about two days, there will be reports of massive volume of shorts on oil company stocks that occurred in the minutes before the announcement, then another day after that, nobody will talk about it again.
From mediocre incompetents to outright villains.
Are they also going to block the ships that Iran and Japan agreed could pass through, for example? Are they really going to screw over a strategic ally like Japan just for…? You know what? Yeah, they definitely would.
maybe Japan shouldn’t have surprise attacked them on december 1941.
Japan only attacked the USA in 1941 because of an oil embargo by the USA
So japan could do the funniest thing rn
With what navy?
To be fair, the 1941 attack didn’t use a navy…

Yes it did. What do you think all those aircraft were launched from? They sure as Hell didn’t fly all the way from the Japanese mainland (or whatever the closest Japanese land-based airfield was at the time)! They didn’t have the range for it: aircraft with ocean-crossing range didn’t start showing up until the Jet Age, after the war.
I’m a little surprised everyone is mostly agreeing that he’s doing this because he’s stupid. I mean yes, he’s a fucking idiot, but someone told him to start a blockade. And as we all know from the first one a week ago, it’s only gonna jack up prices on literally everything even more than they are right now.
It’s all a plan by the billionaire class that openly runs our country now to keep inflating prices so consumers don’t have anything.
Edit: like c/BamboodPanda said, “Oil determines the price of shipping. Shipping determines the price of everything. They want to jack up everything.”
“You’re not blocking the strait of Hormuz, I am. I dont even want your strait, anyways”
I hate these Maga Yanks so much.
Can’t wait for the USN to start blowing up Chinese tankers and cargo ships.
Or seizing SK and Japanese vessels for that matter.
Are we going to prevent our most Asian important allies from receiving energy supplies that could prevent, or at least significantly delay, their complete economic collapse?

I keep seeing posts like this and they make a lot of sense. Do you have any recommendations on where someone might read up on this or should I just start googling stuff like “what happens when countries collapse?” “German economy after WW1” “currency collapse of ancient Rome” etc etc
Not op, and as far from an economist as possible. But I think there has never been a situation like this, ever, in the entire human race.
I have no clue what will happen but I deeply feel most will have wrong predictions

So now instead of zero blockades like we had two months ago, we have two blockades?
