Remember that quote when Trump lectured Zelenski in The WHite House a year or so ago? Well Trump is doing the same now. The Straits of Hormuz were open in January. Iran's nuclear program was limited. Israel not that bothered about Iran.
Now TRUMP is blockading the Straits!!! WTF is going on??
This is killing world economies. If Trump thinks he can quell US voters by somehow waving a magic wand to bring down U.S gas prices he really doesn't get it. His gas prices are high as all gas & oil is sold on the same market. The US dollar remains strong as its always been aligned to the international oil market called the 'Petrodollar' but Trump can not bring down oil prices in AMerica if this carries on. They will only go up.
He is now blocking Iran oil getting to China down the Strait. That is seriously risky and could see Chinese warships heading to the Strait real soon to escort it. An exchange of fire is likely. Trump is out of control now.

@MarieCoyle I am so concerned, every day I am concerned checking the news because I fear to read that WW3 has started.

Many here are doing the same. We also have the fear that we will be attacked here in retaliation. It’s not a good feeling, worrying about a world war. You and I have not experienced a world war, but our parents and grandparents did and I know you remember all the stories just like I do. And it’s just not a good feeling.

No, I can’t see them sitting back doing nothing, either.

Trump doesn't care what horror he sets out on us as long as he makes some $$$. I wonder if he will be around to spend it. Dementia builds quickly.

The hilarious thing about this is that, not six months ago, he was groveling and begging for a Nobel Peace Prize. Someone needs to tell him there’s no such thing as a Nobel War Prize.

I think that Trump may have well 'poked the bear' by messing with China.
The world has had more than enough of his aggression, and tempers are bound to run short.
I pray every day because my country is so close geographically to the states, and I hate the thought of being caught in the crossfire of any nastiness aimed his way.

I am here in the US. I know people from all walks of life of all ages. And I can honestly say that many,many people here are extremely concerned about a world war. Trump wants power and he’s out to get it how ever he can. He’s never cared about who he hurts and he never will. What he has done is affecting the entire world, and not in a good way. Many people are scrambling to feed their families and simply survive. If he ever had a magic wand, he sure doesn’t have it now.
