Tucker:

All American presidents since 1963 have done, substantially, what Israel wanted them to do."

"The problem is not simply Trump."

Tucker then goes on to ask what the mechanism of control is.

I think there are several factors, in order of relevance:

-The influence of Jewish money in politics, the media, and business

-Christian evangelicalism, which literally believes in creating Greater Israel to usher in the end times

-The belief that supporting Israel relieves Republicans from accusations of racism

-The view that Israelis are "actually white like us" unlike those dirty, brown Arabs (co-opted racialist politics; this is actually a view I hear from boomers)

The sad fact is, a good portion of Jewish power in the USA is derived from the stupidity and ignorance of non-jews. Of course, much of that has been instilled over time and by design.

I'll save you from the bulk of Trump's latest bowel movement from the most ironically named "Truth Social." Basically, Trump has announced that he is responding to Iran's decision not to bend over to the USA in negotiations by blockading the Strait of Hormuz.

He also mentions that "noone who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas," and that these vessels will be interdicted in international waters. So, I guess we will now be attacking commercial vessels from a number of countries.

The UK says it will not take part in US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump claimed earlier today that "the UK will send warships to help, and probably other countries will too."

Oil markets open in less than 4 hours. Things may get interesting. Now nobody will get any oil through the Strait at all...

Putin discussed the conflict with the Iranian President, and Pezeshkian congratulated all Orthodox Christians on Easter.

The leaders discussed the situation in the Middle East and the Iranian American talks in Islamabad on April 11. Putin confirmed Russia's readiness to mediate for long term peace in the region.

Pezeshkian thanked Russia for its principled position on deescalation and for its humanitarian aid to the Iranian people. The parties reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral relations and continuing contacts with their Middle Eastern partners. Pezeshkian congratulated Putin and Orthodox Christians in Russia on Easter.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 — The Wall Street Journal, citing officials: A second round of talks between Washington and Tehran may be held within days.

– The door to diplomacy remains open despite the hardline statements from Tehran and Washington.

The Strait of Hormuz has never been Iran's to close or restrict navigation through, the CEO of UAE state oil company ADNOC, Sultan al Jaber, said on X on Sunday.

He warned that any disruption would endanger global energy, food, and health security, adding that establishing such a precedent would be "dangerous and unacceptable. The world simply cannot afford it and must not allow it," he added.

Before you ask, he said this BEFORE Shlomo Pederast Trumpstein announced his blockade of the blockade. Arab petroleum monkeys just can't catch a break.

Rep. Tim Burchett spreads atrocity propaganda to justify war: "Iran just aren't good actors—they're not good people… They throw gay people off buildings; if a little girl wears makeup, they gouge her eyes out; if a little boy posts something on X, they hang him… These people are demonic."

"They're lying about their nuclear capabilities... As soon as they get the ability, they will launch a missile against Israel—they will cause WWIII. Trump is preventing that, and the price of gas is the cost we're having to pay right now, unfortunately."

The worse the war goes, the wilder the lies get.

BREAKING 🇨🇳⚡️🇺🇸⚡️🇮🇷: China announces blockade of the strait of Hormuz and will from now on block any ship green lighted by the USA.
Maritime experts have pointed out that this is the first occurrence of a triple layered trilateral blockade in the history of mankind.
Ships running through the blockade will therefor face a blockade, an anti-blockade blockade followed by an counter-anti-blockade blockade. Good luck to all seafarers.

—❗️🇮🇷 NEW: About 15-20 vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz in the past 36 hours using the new Iranian-assigned shipping corridor and with IRGC permission after paying tolls

Most of the vessels were Chinese, Pakistani, Russian or Iranian.

Trump's "how badly can I fuck things up" tour rolls on.
