Will the #PetroDollar 🛢️💰become the Petro Yuan? … or maybe the Petro Ruble! 🧐

I jest but this is no joke. If you don’t think this can get worse for the good ol U.S. of A. Think Again‼️

If this war and Iranian control of the #HormuzStraits continue, American economic…

…weakened.

And time is running out. If #Iran can hold on to this closure of the #HormuzStraits long enough, they could destroy the #PetroDollar system. And for the U.S., as we say in Italy… sono cazzi!! Listen to the explainer above. Sorry kids but this is where you’re going! 🤷‍♂️

Why the USA lost the Vietnam War, and why things do not look good for this one either.

This what total victory looks like in Trump world, *begging other nations* - even adversarial ones - to please come and help you out. Sad! #bbcpm #HormuzStraits #Winning #IranWar #C4news

Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries — including China — to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe.

A galactic humiliation.

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
