It occurred to me that it would be some sort of *very darkly humorous* justice were some of these countries to put their heads together and agree the best way to open the Strait would be to get rid of the invaders causing the problem - on other words, join the war, but against US.
Of course, that would be likely to set the Mad King's football finger itching uncontrollably. Still. The presumption of it could be enough to cause that final blood vessel to go kablooey first..
As the price of gas continues to stay high, Trump might get panicky enough to just stop the attacks on Iran altogether, declare ultimate victory, pull out of the region, and desperately hope that Iran takes the hint and lets ships through the strait.
Only Israel won't stop trading missiles with Iran, because Bibi's political survival depends on prolonging the war as surely as Trump's depends on ending it. And no matter how much Trump wants Bibi to stop, it won't happen. Oh would I love to listen to some of the phone calls between them once that becomes clear to Trump.
At this point Trump doesn't dare leave the White House. He has committed so many crimes, against the Constitution, International Law and Crimes Against Humanity that only remaining President will protect him. Just like his buddies Netanyahu and Putin.
"At its narrowest point, the strait is around 21 miles wide. But the actual shipping lanes are far narrower—just two miles for inbound traffic and two miles for outbound. Tankers move through single file, with almost no room to maneuver.'
Not surprising that no countries want to be the targets in a turkey shoot!
Trump could indeed declare victory and abandon the region. That is the most sensible option at this point, so of course he won’t do it. And yes, it’d leave a mess, but the mess is only going to get worse the longer he keeps sticking his nose in it.

Remember Before Times 2 yrs ago? Yeah.
Ta, Marcie. We ARE less safe.

Do what I tell you, or I'll cancel our meeting!
Not being allowed to experience Trump's piquant aura of feces and rancid meat in an enclosed space is certainly a threat that gets everyone in line.
Donnie can't remember seeing such enthusiasm since just before Stormy unzipped his pants. Can you say "deflation"? (In more senses than one).

Yesterday, the local Kroger had regular at $3.25/gallon. Today, $3.79/gallon.
And you want not want to listen in on Trump and Bibi, because Trump's just a whiny-ass titty baby.
You'd think Friedrich Merz would help get Ethyl...
I was surprised when I recently found out that "I Love Lucy" ran for only 6 seasons.
It was followed by "The Lucy Show" and "Lucy", so it was like she was always on TV for decades.
Didn't the French guy LITERALLY say, "Yeah, right, like we're gonna buy a ticket on the Titanic"?
"You're all a bunch of stuck-up snobs, and I wouldn't join your stupid alliance of jerks if you begged me! Do you hear? BEGGED me!! WAAAAHH!!"
*runs up stairs crying*
*slams door to room*
*blasts stereo*
I dunno -- I think the world's response to Trump deserves the Riki Lindholme version of "So Long, Farewell."

I've always believed that, if Trump manages to not die in office, he will emigrate to Russia and live on an estate gifted to him by Putin.
He'll be of no further use to Mother Russia by then. Novichok or an open window awaits him.
You're saying them Russkis don't know from gratitude?
He is, how you say, potato.

Okay, I'll play: GO FUCK YOURSELF RAW!
How's THAT for enthusiasm, fuckface?
"Eat it raw!" "Rah, rah, rah! That's the kind of spirit we like to see here at Morse Science High School!"
Brings back the good old days: "Trump! Trump! Trump! How do we treat him? Like an oyster we eat him - Raw! Raw! Raw!"
