It is the Strait of Hormuz not the Hormuz Strait.
The president posted, Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Irans attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe.

The rest of it is totally unimportant to him.

(32,068 posts)"Many countries "that" are affected," not "who" are affected.
Krasnov is bluffing, he wants to get other countries involved so that he can quietly surrender and then blame those countries when things go south. Bibi used Krasnov bigly.
Releasing oil reserves is only a temporary fix, the big problem is Hormuz being shut down and several ME countries cutting back on oil production.
Someone explain to me why when Russia invaded Ukraine the price of gas in the US jumped to 5 dollars a gallon but when we have a war in the ME gas is at 3.64 a gallon?
I seriously doubt that Krasnov will hit the oil depot on Kharg Island, he is in a real bind. Yes it is the main oil port for Iran and blowing it up would cripple Iran, but then the consequences would be that Iranians would have nothing left to lose and blowing up Kharg Island will also raise the price of crude and gasoline worldwide. Blowing up the oil depot would turn every Iranian against the United States.

(178,966 posts)trump is too senile/stupid to know the difference between excursion and incursion." trump's aides know the difference but they do NOT dare correct trump. Every time that trump uses the term "excursion" instead of incursion, I laugh. Again, trump is too senile to sue the right term and his aides are too scared to correct trump.

Im not telling him, a Trump administration official told Zeteo on Friday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The word excursion, as explained by MS NOWs Jonathan Lemire on Friday, generally refers to a short, organized pleasure trip, à la snorkeling, whereas an incursion is a sudden, often hostile entrance or invasion into a territory or place, a far more appropriate term to describe the Trump administrations operation in Iran.
And yet, despite the obvious blunder, Trump officials told Zeteo that correcting the president would be a fools errand, and that doing so would likely get them yelled at, the outlet reported.
We say incursion, the boss says excursion. Its not a big deal, a second Trump official told Zeteo, also speaking on the condition of anonymity.
