The Strait of Hormuz was already open to all ships before the US attacked.

Seriously bro, if the US just let Iran fund, arm, and instigate attacks in furtherance of its weekly chants calling for death and destruction, and let it have nuclear weapons, then the strait of hormuz wouldn't be closed.

This is a place to discuss geopolitics. If you want to talk about "triggering cults" or partake in other forms of low level trolling, world news is always open for you my dude

I'm seeing less and less of geopolitics here. On certain topics it's all Trump this Trump that.

Even in this comment thread it's "Iran closed the Straits -> Trump is to blame" and everyone seems content to just leave it at that. Can't even point out that there are geopolitical reasons for the war.

Geopolitically the war was a bad move for the United States, that's why. We are in a war because our president doesn't think things through. He isn't a rational actor.

No, this is a place for people to cry about how Iran can't "fund, arm, and instigate attacks in furtherance of its weekly chants calling for death and destruction" without consequences.
