Trump On Hormuz Blockade: “We’re Like Pirates – And It’s Very Profitable”
President Trump has newly said the US Navy is acting “like pirates” as he described an operation about seizing a ship amid the ongoing blockade of Iranian ports. “We … land on top of it and we took over the ship. We took over the cargo, took over the oil. It’s a very profitable business,” Trump told a large audience at a rally in Florida on Friday. “We’re like pirates,” he added as the crow cheered him on. “We’re sort of like pirates. But we’re not playing games.” Watch the US President also declare “it’s a very profitable business”:

You would think by now that NOTHING DJT SAYS would be shocking — but the callousness of this specific commentary is overwhelming. It is also easily applied to all the gold that has been confiscated by the US over the years from ME countries as well as oil from Syria, Venezuela etc etc etc. There really are some things that should NEVER be said out loud (even if your joking – which I don’t think DJT is here) and offer only downside by making them!
I LOVE IT !
THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE TO THIS
IRAN IS THE WORLDS FOREMOST TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, THEIR STATED GOAL IS DEATH TO AMERICA
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING * (THEY ADMIT IT NOW ) TO HAVE NUCLEAR BOMBS AND LONG RANGE CARRIERS
THEY MURDER AND TORTURE THEIR OWN CITIZENS WITH IMPUNITY
YOU DONT DEAL WITH A REGIME LIKE THAT BY FOLLOWING THE “NORMS”
YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM AN ULTIMATUM…NO SHIPS SHALL BRING IN SUPPLIES NOR LEAVE FILLED WITH SUPPLIES ( OIL)
SO YES PIRACY IS BRILLIANT AND EFFECTIVE
WHY NOT ? PLEASE GIVE ME A REASON WHY THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE GIVEN WHO THESE NEADERTHALS ARE ?
THIS IS WAR…THERE ARE NO RULES….TO THE WINNER GOES THE SPOILS
DO YOU ALSO OPPOSE THE US MIL BOMBING THE DRUG RUNNING BOATS ? THATS A LOT “WORSE” THAN PIRACY IS IT NOT ?
VENEZUELA ?
THE US IS HELPING THEM DEVELOP THEIR OIL RESERVES AND SELLING IT ON THEIR BEHALF AFTER THEY PAY BACK WHAT THEY STOLE FROM US CORPORATIONS WHO SPENT BILLIONS DEVELOPING THE RESOURCES AND WERE THEN EXPELLED BY CHAVEZ AND MADURO .
