1. No plan for Iranians closing the Strait of Hormuz

Also using $3 million Patriot missiles to shoot down $75,000 Iranian Shahed drones…

9. Or, more likely.....

he's getting kickbacks from defense contractors.

Trump doesn't take a dump unless he's making money from it.

2. The Russian-flagged tanker headed for Cuba might be a factor too.

The tanker Sea Horse is one of the vessels making its way to Cuba, according to maritime intelligence firm Windward. The Hong Kong-flagged ship is estimated to be carrying around 190,000 barrels of Russian gasoil and tracking suggests it could be set to deliver its cargo in the coming days.

The tanker has been engaged in deceptive shipping practices, an analysis published Wednesday by Windward found, including switching off its location transponders (or AIS “spoofing”) during oil transfer, and it lacks Western insurance, which Windward says indicates potential sanctions circumvention.

A second Russian-flagged oil tanker, the sanctioned Anatoly Kolodkin, is also thought to be on its way to Cuba carrying 730,000 barrels of crude oil, maritime analytics firm Kpler said Wednesday, according to AFP. CNBC has contacted Kpler and is awaiting a response.

The shipments represent an act of defiance to the U.S., given that Washington has threatened to impose tariffs on any country that supplies it with oil. The Kremlin has previously shrugged off Trump’s tariff threats, pointing out that Washington and Moscow “don’t have much trade right now.”

4. Enriching Russia and Iran to reward them for killing American service members in his Epstein War.

This is what 80M morally and intellectually degenerate Americans voted for... For a third time.

8. Like the person who forgot to properly monitor the level in the dam

and is now trying to stop the leaks with his fingers, toes and ...

10. What chapter was this in Art of the Deal?

12. If Iran has to open the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic to get its oil to its buyers

Then it was a sly move. If they can selectively allow only their own tankers in and out, and continue to block all other ships, then there were other, less noble motives. I’m waiting to hear which scenatio is accurate.

13. It doesn't have to open it to all traffic
