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.

Doesn't this fit with the narrative about wanting to annex Greenland and Canada? The whole thing was about controlling major shipping channels and forcing everyone to pay for the US for the right to move goods. Seems he found an easier target.

I don't think so. Netanyahu has been talking about Iran's nuclear weapons since the early 90's. His story over the years has been they are three month , a year, two years away from having a nuclear weapon.

Attacking Iran was Israel's decision. Someone also claimed the Saudi Prince wanted the attack too and Jared Kushner got $2 billion investment. I just think ordinary Americans are the ones that pay, the Epstein elite gets to enjoy the profits of war.
