Blockading a blockade is the work of a pure stable genius like no one has ever seen before. Only Donald Trump could have thought of this.

It's like, "You think you can shoot at us? Well, we'll show you—we'll shoot ourselves!!"

We should all have tears in our eyes.

So, what do ship owners do now? Pay the toll with the likelihood the US Navy will impound them or not pay the toll and risk being blown up by the Iranians?

Disagree. U.S.-Euro coalition can set up blockade of Iranian tankers from exiting Hormuz into Arabian Sea (safe). Iran cannot profit from its blockade. Zero oil comes out of Hormuz. This forces diplomatic solution w support of U.N. Resolutions, pressure from China, etc

There is no U.S.- European coalition. That's the major flaw in your plan. Europe refuses to get involved in Trump's illegal war of choice.

Trump thinks he just hasn't intimidated the Iranian regime enough yet, despite the fact that he has backed off at least once already. It's what he is used to, to intimidate, bully and bribe anyone who won't do what he wants, right from the earliest years of his business career. (1/2)

Now this.

When are we going to get some competent leadership in the Executive branch of government, or at least get Congress involved?

Midterms are 7 months away and 2 more after before new members are sworn in.
