China's power grid is largely powered by coal and renewables (hydro, solar, wind), NOT natural gas and oil.

It's U.S. allies in the region (Taiwan, South Korea, Japan) who depend far more heavily on gas and oil, compared to China.

Anyone arguing that Trump blocking the Strait of Hormuz is going to pressure China to pressure Iran to reopen the strait isn't well-schooled on reality.

If anything, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan are going to be screaming at Trump to stop the escalation before they suffer power grid collapse and industrial "lights out" scenarios.

Meanwhile, China can purchase gas and oil from Russia, Brazil, Africa and Canada to get by.

The United States produces about 13.6 million barrels of oil per day and consumes about 20.6 million barrels per day, leaving a gap of roughly 7 million barrels that must be filled by imports — mostly from Canada and Mexico.

The U.S. has no spare oil to EXPORT to the world to make up for the entire Persian Gulf. Trump MAGA-tards are delusional (of course).

Weeks ago, when Trump announced that the U.S. Navy would escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz to open the waterway, MAGA-tards celebrated Trump's, "5D Chess! It's open!"

Now, after Trump has announced the CLOSURE of the strait with a new U.S. naval blockade, those same MAGA-tards are announcing, "Still 5D chess! It's closed!"

If Trump announced that the Strait or Hormuz would be magically transformed into a Disney log ride, those same people would scream, "5D Chess! LOG RIDE!"

Because they are dumber than dirt. Complete idiots. Incapable of rational processing of reality. They are the only people still remaining in the Trump camp. IQ < 90 skin bags of mindless obedience with zero intelligence.

If Trump calls Iran's blockade "racketeering at the global level," then what do you call Trump's invasion of Venezuela and the seizing of Venezuelan oil and Russian oil on the high seas? Or the war of aggression against Iran?

Literally everything Trump accuses Iran of doing, Trump already did it himself against some other country.

Good lucking building data centers -- or ANYTHING -- in America without Chinese electrical transformers and other power grid infrastructure components.

If Trump starts attacking China's oil tankers, China can start restricting exports of key components, including transformers. Or ALL rare earths. And there goes the U.S. AI industry, military manufacturing, aerospace, technology, telecommunications, medical tech and much more.

Will Trump TACO out on the new blockade by Tuesday, making it "Taco Tuesday" again, like last week?

This image is genius. I honestly don't know who created it or I would gladly give them credit.

Do you realize that everything the climate cultists were trying to do -- shut off combustion engines, sharply reduce the use of fossil fuels and collapse human populations -- is being achieved by Trump right now through his destruction of energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf?

Trump has achieved what Al Gore and Greta Thunberg could never have achieved: The ENERGY STRANGULATION of the human race, where energy sources are cut off so that it doesn't matter if you "believe" in climate change or not. Your access to hydrocarbons is ending by force, without your consent, and the globalists who are pulling this off no longer need you to believe in their climate change fairy tales.

They're done trying to convince you, in other words. Now they're just going to starve you to death with engineered famine. And Trump is the guy making it happen, serving the anti-human demons while presenting himself as Christ.

The deliberate blocking of energy is actually a plan for mass human extermination.

The globalists learned from COVID that they could command mass obedience through engineered crises. The pandemic was a large-scale psychological operation to test mass obedience, compliance strategies, and depopulation via vaccines. Their failure to achieve desired depopulation milestones via bioweapons led them to a more brutal, effective strategy: shutting off energy and food.

The lockdowns were a test. The real plan is to lock down the global supply of fertilizer, fuel, and food itself. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has severely disrupted the global supply of nitrogen fertilizers, which are essential for modern agriculture. Approximately half of all global food production is dependent on the use of fertilizer. Without fertilizer, crop yields would drop precipitously. This is not an accident. It's a shift from bioweapons to resource warfare, a more direct path to extermination.

On March 9, 2026, Trump said "the war is very complete, pretty much," and falsely claimed the Iranian military had been destroyed and the Strait of Hormuz had re-opened.

It's now 35 days later.

The Strait of Hormuz is still under the total control of Iran. The only ships passing through the strait are doing so with Iran's permission.

The U.S. Navy is terrified to get too close to the shore of Iran, or its ships will be damaged or destroyed by drones and missile fire.

Trump's remaining retarded followers call this a "victory."

But if Trump has "total and complete victory" over Iran as he claimed earlier this month, then why isn't the strait under the control of U.S. forces?

Because, of course, the U.S. military has lost. Trump is a loser. Hegseth is a drunk loser. And the ever-shrinking MAGA-tards are the dumbest people on the planet, by far.

I knew from the start that President Trump's demand for Iran to 'open the f***in' Strait' was a lie, a piece of political theater designed for domestic consumption, not a genuine strategic objective. His profane rant on Truth Social, threatening to bomb Iran's power plants, was not a display of strength but a public admission of panic. The spectacle has now reached its absurd conclusion: after the failure of talks, he has ordered a U.S. Navy blockade of the same waterway he demanded be opened. The cognitive whiplash is breathtaking.

His most ardent supporters, trained to treat his every contradictory utterance as a stroke of '5D chess,' are now celebrating this blockade as a masterstroke. In my view, this isn't strategic genius; it's the mindless celebration of a cult of personality. As I've argued before, this pattern reveals a government that cannot admit a failed policy. The blockade is not a calculated move but the flailing of an administration that promised a quick victory and 'destroyed' Iran's military, claims utterly shattered by the reality of massive U.S. aircraft losses and a defiant Iran. This is the sign of a failing leader, not a formidable one.

Vice President JD Vance's trip to Islamabad was a diplomatic farce from the beginning, and I predicted as much. The so-called negotiation was never about finding common ground; it was about presenting an ultimatum of total surrender. Iran began by stating the U.S. must accept its 'preconditions,' including control of the Strait and a truce in Lebanon, before talks could even start. But the U.S. delegation, led by Vance, was in no position to negotiate anything but submission.

This charade was a manufactured pretext, a box to be checked before escalating to the current blockade. The administration's 'core demand' was always Iranian capitulation on its nuclear program and strategic interests. When Tehran refused to bow, Trump had his excuse to declare the talks a failure and initiate his blockade. This pattern reveals a government that defaults to extortion and brute force, then projects its own criminal aggression onto its targets. It's a tactic of a centralized power that has lost the moral and logical high ground, relying on threats to mask its strategic bankruptcy.
