If strikes and a blockade of the blockade are the only options left, there are no more exit ramps, only rising costs.

The blockade plan, if you can call it that, clearly wasn’t thought through.

@Mpolymer Uh. What are we going to do when a Chinese ship defies the blockade? Shoot at it? I think not. tweet

U.S. Southern Command:
"Applying total systemic friction on the cartels.
On April 11, at the direction of SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted two lethal kinetic strikes on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed, and one narco-terrorist survived the first strike. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during the second strike. Following the engagements, USSOUTHCOM immediately notified U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivor. No U.S. military forces were harmed."

For you all who think the US naval blockade will be successful just bc we have US Navy ships in the gulf …
Ask yourself this. Are we going to sink Chinese, Indian and Pakistani merchant ships defying the blockade or just write their names down and cry?
This will be unenforceable and speed up the collapse of the global economy.
This is Madness disguised as a policy. tweet

RT @hissgoescobra: @ksadjadpour Uhh Iran has oil on the water plus a cash reserve bc we lifted sanctions. They aren’t even going to feel this necessarily for 30-45 days. They won’t let any non Iranian oil pass Hormuz, so the world oil supply will still be depressed. We inoculated them.
