Hormuz

As of now, for the first time ever in history, Iran is blockading the Straits of Hormuz and demanding money from ships that want to move across. Gulf countries were in a position to do the same for decades but never did. Because this is parasitic behavior, which stifles commerce and free movement. After all, the Straits are not owned by Iran. Neither are they a man-made canal, which requires upkeep and maintenance. A group linked to Iran is planning on doing the same at the opening of the Red Sea. Coincidentally, this group sprung out in the last few decades at this very location.

The question is, where is the US Navy? and why isn’t it helping break the blockade? Why is Trump suddenly normalizing Iran’s grip over the Straits as if Iran was doing a favor by promising to open them? Or did Trump just award Iran a toll booth on the Straits? Iran desperately needs one because like Russia, all of its revenue goes towards its war machine and conflicts outside its borders. Those underground storage chambers for missiles and drones cost trillions. There is little left for public infrastructure, education and public healthcare. The only exception to the poverty and squalor is a crypto-Jewish elite centered around Tehran and Isfahan, who drive American muscle cars. These folks also operate hundreds of luxurious consulates abroad as personal hotels. On the other hand, the average Iranian would consider it a godsend to escape conscription in Iran by illegally operating a hotel in an Indian city. Russia is the same story. Despite producing and exporting more oil than Saudi Arabia, public infrastructure, education and public healthcare get a bare minimum. And the average Russian gets to march into the wilderness, dressed in a penguin-like thermal cape (Spoiler: The Ukrainians weren’t impressed and killed him). Neither do the Russians want to die for Ukraine. Nor do Iranians want to die for Hormuz. The problem is that real religion in both the lands was uprooted centuries ago, and the citizenry is too enfeebled to do anything other than what they are told to do.

Remember how the West fought two World Wars to create modern Russia as some kind of false opposition to their own imperialism? Something similar is afoot here. 

Rather than patrolling Hormuz, here is what the US War machine has been up to recently:

• Attacking a synagogue in Iran because the Phoenicians prefer that Iranian Jews remain cryptos. Those who want to openly practice Judaism have been long encouraged to move to Israel.
• Attacking over 30 Universities across Iran. Coincidentally, Universities happen to be breeding a lot of anti-regime sentiment. 
• Attacking a landmark bridge in Iran, because local dissenters are to be warned not to see USA as liberators. 
• Deliberately botching an operation to set up a base within Iran, so that they could keep up Iranian spirits, while at the same time, assuring their Gulf Allies that they tried their best. 
• Deliberately skipping on a Kurdish invasion of Iran. Turkey and their fake Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan also figure prominently in this. 

At the same time, Iran is being maneuvered into a position where it is seen as the sole supporter of the victims of Israeli atrocities, as well as the only power engaging Israel. This position was once held exclusively by Gulf countries. They dumbly gave their biggest bargaining chip to Iran. This is the biggest Phoenician coup of all time.
