Rod Martin & Frank Gaffney discuss Trump's Hormuz trap, the new U.S.-Indonesia pact, the "giant sucking sound" of jobs leaving China for Mexico, and the Reagan-Trump playbook for collapsing CCP rule.
"Rod — the maritime insurer dimension is the geographic key. The U.S. Navy has functioned as the world's maritime insurance underwriter since 1945 — Hormuz being the premium everyone pays but nobody acknowledges. The Indonesia deal strangling China connects directly — Malacca Strait dependency means China cannot afford Hormuz and Malacca closing simultaneously. The Maren Brief covered today why Munir's Tehran visit is the face-saving architecture that allows the trap to close without a shooting resumption. The geography determines the exit before the diplomacy does. Honored to read this alongside Frank Gaffney."
Well since 47% of the shares in U.S. publicly traded oil and natural gas companies are held by public and private pension plans, 401(k)s, and IRAs, what you're really saying is that you hate elderly retirees.
Fortunately, Donald Trump doesn't hate old people like you do.

And by "Trump's buddies" you mean "America", and less for America's competitors.
