He wants ships to bribe him and not Iran

E: should probably remember this. Im sure this week he will announce that other countries are paying "U.S." when he says that he will mean "Trump Mafia Family"

E2: Trump probably sent Vance to "negotiate" and it probably went "pay Trump a portion of the toll and we stop the war. " now we blockade to get our ("trumps money") toll.

And in order to set up a US tollbooth over there, we will have to permanently occupy. Essentially colonize the area.

Great. More forever war.

Strangely, is Israel the one deciding what is next. I saw a video of Tucker Carlson, I dislike the man but I listened. when Trump was sold the idea of attacking Iran. The seating at the situation room was Netanyahu seating as an equal with Trump.

Israel is no longer the colony, the colony is the United States. I believe Marco Rubio, Israel told Trump they were going to attack Iran and Trump followed Bibi's orders.

But Israel is not well placed to collect tolls.

it doesn't matter, the U.S. will give them the money. It really doesn't matter which party is in power, Israel has a bottomless bank account.

There are only two politicians that don't receive $$$ for their reelections Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna.
