Im getting “you can’t fire me, I quit” sort of energy.

Really? All I get is 'full scale retard' energy.

Where are the hypocritical leaders and orgs that said iran can't force a toll on the straight?

I wish he was not our president.

I'm glad he is your president because he tore down the curtains and now the whole world can see the US for what it really is.

It won't matter insurance companies aren't writing policies for boats sailing through the straight anyway. Shits about to get even more real for gulf states and asia. China will not be happy about this.

There is a lot of rich US colonies who export and import a lot, as the only viable path. KSA can go to red sea, but to deliver to asia, They would avoid "Houti controlled straight" and go suez then around Africa. Very long trip.
