More than USA would sanction you if you start paying terrorists to pass a strait, none of the big players wants that.

It weakens China and Europe even more, so it strengthens USA compared to the rest of the world. That is why the US stock market is going strong.

That is illegal, that is equivalent to blocking it. No other country accepts existence of such a toll, and any company paying it will get sanctioned by the entire world since it would set such a bad precedent if countries started to toll th

> and like your definition of terrorists, the US/Israel are using us (US citizens) as human shields. No they don't, that is ridiculous. In what way could US citizens take collateral damage in this war? They aren't in harms

It was the US that made all these countries stop committing atrocities, so they are the good guys. World war 2 was the war of 3 different evil ideologies, you had the fascists vs the communists vs the imperialist England and France. The war

If you perform acts of war then you are at war even if nobody uses that word.

> From US law perspective, it’s illegal But US law is not international law. Internationally you are at war, whatever you call it internally doesn't matter to me.

Well regardless this situation strengthens USA's economic position and weakens China, so its not a bad spot to be in. That it also strengthens Russia doesn't matter much since they are no longer seen as the great enemy, after thei

They shot at Indian vessels, so you are wrong they are blocking neutral nations. India is not allied to USA or Israel. That they let some vessels through doesn't mean they don't shoot at neutral ships, they shoot at most neutral s

They shot at neutral ships when they closed the strait, where do you get your info from? If it was just USA and Israel and Nato even then you'd see a ton of ships go through and the world wouldn't be very affected, since almost al

Naval blockades of enemy ports during war are legal, that is what USA and Israel argue they are doing. That is not what Iran is doing, they are blocking fully neutral ships from going in other countries waterways.

Many countries have said they will help patrol the strait as long as the war stops. Iran wont be able to keep this after the war. Iran wont declare war against the entire world, so they wont shoot down their destroyers.

> Frankly it's a bit absurd to complain that your ships can't transit a country's waters while you bomb them. The issue is they block all non-Iranian ships, not just American ships. Basically nobody would have complained i

by Jensson 5mo ago
Yes, USA will bomb Iran, so how did blocking the strait help them?
171.
by Jensson 5mo ago
No government have accepted Iranian tolls so far, that is just not going to fly ever. If every country controlling a strait started taking out such tolls that would cause much worse issues than we are seeing currently, nobody will have that

by Jensson 5mo ago
In what way? What do you think would be different if Iran didn't block the strait?
173.
by Jensson 5mo ago
They are not, they updated their tactics to account for that so they destroyed a lot of Iranian small boats with bombs trying to attack the vessels. If they were incapable of countering that we would have seen American casualties in these s

by Jensson 5mo ago
But this stalemate benefits US corporations by raising the price for oil, so its not really hurting the attacker. In order to hurt a plutocracy like USA you need to hurt the American stock market but American stocks are doing great.

And what has this done to help Iran so far? Trump doesn't care about peoples opinions, US oil is making record profits thanks to the war so there wont be pushback from them, and Trump has 5 more months until midterms that is still plen

by Jensson 5mo ago
They block Iranian ports so Iran can no longer export oil, that is doing a lot.

by Jensson 5mo ago
In what way were they chased away? Iran tried to sink them and didn't hit any shots, and many on Iran's side died trying. Many IRGC soldiers dying and not even scratching the paint on US vessels doesn't show US to be weak. &g

If that is what a PM needs then there aren't enough good PM to warrant a PM role for most products, so just make software engineers do that in most cases. Edit: The main role of PM is to decide which features to build, not how those fe
