(43,781 posts)1. how would you do that?
As a foreign power, take over the Strait of Hormuz and collect money?
Wonder what the U.S. military leaders have to say about this?
The Iranians come right out and say trump's threats have nothing whatsoever to do with how they're conducting themselves. In other words, he's not being taken seriously. When you watch the video, you'll hear other statements that seem to have a similar intent. They're as sick of dump as we are.

of "negotiations."
So maybe we should be asking what Trump gains by pretending to negotiate and then disrupting the process.

What idiot tries to "negotiate" while threatening obliteration? We're all screwed.
