The supposed blockade ordered by
Crumb the 1st may be more market manipulation and we'll see if the "taco" effect comes in to play. However there are certainly some other aspects to this as well.
One of those is the idea of what reaction the rest of the countries in the world are going to take regarding having their ships blockaded and "interdicted" as claimed by the "policy" lashed out at the world on social media. The rest of the world is already more than tired of Netanyahu from his disproportionate reaction in Gaza amounting to war crimes and now being the impetus to make war against Iran with no consultation with the other countries around the world sure to be immensely affected by such a war. Those countries also have little doubt about the inability of Crumb The 1st to say no to Netanyahu as evidenced by the Netanyahu demand to greatly increase his killing and land grab in Lebanon.
The IDF, Netanyahu, the US armed forces and Crumb the 1st are all out there creating damage against vastly weaker opponents until they encountered the Iranian response. While that response has shown the ability to hit bases with drones/missiles and to shoot down planes it is not as though a major country or group of countries with lots of sophisticated forces has gone against the IDF or the US. We would perhaps be victorious but the US and IDF losses in planes, ships and troops would be far larger than what we have seen so far. Imagine losing a handful of jets per day and maybe 20 or so a week and the reaction here in the street.
There was never a good outcome to be had by trying to be deceptive and conducting negotiations and then making a massive military attack while the negotiations are supposedly happening. The reaction of Iran was entirely predictable and it shows the folly of the thinking of the Israeli government and the current US leadership in thinking that if you cause major damage from the air it means you "won". That damage can be inflicted but there are prices to be paid that the damaged party can exert influence on.
Israel for example thinks it has "won" in Gaza. But they have lost the goodwill they had with most of the world. The leadership is viewed as rogue war criminals and the population of the country is viewed as unwilling to topple their leadership while at the same time claiming other populations in countries are to blame for what happens because they don't topple their leadership. The gander is dripping sauce like it came from a hose.
So now the horrible mess has happened and is ongoing. Netanyahu will at some point "walk away" and focus more on his land grabs and killing. Crumb The 1st is obviously in way, way over his head and his pathetic "team" of real estate developers and a pathetically weak and incapable Secretary of State are as far from being diplomatic negotiators as Mars is from the Earth.
We are left holding the bag of a mess created by Crumb The 1st and his blind obedience to Netanyahu combined with his greed, sociopath behavior and desire to kill and to bully the rest of the world as he has tried to do to NATO. Netanyahu has played him all along by telling him how great, smart and brave he is. Feeding that sick need inside Crumb The 1st to be glorified. Neither one cares about the price to be paid by the world for their actions.
