“With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE,” the US president wrote in a social media post on Friday.

Trump’s assertion that the US would “take” Iran’s oil marks an escalation in his rhetoric.

The US president appeared to double down on his call later on Friday. “KEEP THE OIL, ANYONE?” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Under the international law doctrine of Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources, which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1962, oil and minerals belong to the countries where they are located.

Cannot somebody please kidnap and prosecute the leaders of the US at The Hague?

Nope. Something else is going on.

I vote mass mental illness/religious indoctrination of the drug kind.
