President Trump, You Should Shut Down the Strait of Hormuz
Derek Hunter

Iran and Democrats are united on a great many things, but none more than the desire to see President Donald Trump fail. The Iranian regime, or whatever remains of it, is trying to survive, and Democrats are, well, pretty much in the same boat. The two places in this country where the terrorists in Iran and the terrorists in the Democratic Party are most welcome are college campuses and cable news studios. That’s not a coincidence. To break up this cabal and destroy at least the foreign terrorists in this equation, President Trump needs to do something dramatic…like lock down the Strait of Hormuz.

As I’ve said before, I don’t really care what ultimately happens to the people of Iran. I would prefer they rise and overthrow their tyrannical government, freeing themselves from 47 years of oppression and rejoin the civilized world. That would be the best outcome for their people, but if they aren’t willing to stand up and do it, then remaining oppressed doesn’t matter much to me.

Liberty has to be won, not handed to people, in order to be appreciated – just look at the spoiled left-wing Americans who’ve had every advantage of freedom given to them and would like nothing more than to trash it with progressive politics. Some people won’t stand up for themselves, and others are too stupid to. Motivation doesn’t matter; the end results do.

Conservative thought nowadays seems to be just stupid people saying dumb shit.

1.) The World needs to open the Strait of Hormuz.
2.) The World needs to destroy Iran's ability to threaten the Strait of Hormuz.
3.) The World needs to blockade Iran so the Chi-coms can't re-supply their military.
4.) A Global energy crisis will lead to economic, political, and miltary instability.  This may accelerate the Chinese Communist Party's plans to annex the South China Sea.
5.) The World needs to guarantee that Iran does not possess nuclear technology.
6.) The World needs to eliminate Iran's proxies - Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Houthies.

It is not the job of the American people to liberate Iran and secure Middle East oil supplies for other nations.  Where are the international institutions and organizations, such as the United Nations, that exist to deal with international conflicts like this?

The UN armed Hamas.  The UN did nothing to stop Russia's invasion of Ukraine.  The UN did nothing to stop nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran.  The UN has been infiltrated and corrupted by the Axis of Evil - Russia, Iran, China, and their allies and proxies.

Where is OPEC?  It's their oil that Iran is shutting in.  Shouldn't the emirs Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and United Arab Emirates be spilling THEIR blood to protect THEIR economic interests?  Why should Americans bleed so OPEC can F America the next chance it gets?

The World Order has failed, but it is not the United States' job to be World Police.

Where's the CIA?  Shouldn't they be training and arming rebels to open a military front against the IRGC inside Iran?  Shouldn't they be attempting to restore Internet access inside Iran to subvert the IRGC?

For my whole working life, the Government confiscated my wages to subsidize these failing and non-performing institutions.

If the current Iranian regime will not negotiate in good faith, the United States should be using unconventional warfare to establish a regime to replace the IRGC.  Bring some of the retired Cold War spooks out of retirement to arm the Iranian people to finish the job on the ground.  Send usesless, worthless Administrative State operatives out to pasture.
