Cable Forum - Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

I'm reading that as: 'Anything heading for the good old US of A has free passage, ships heading for any other destination had better cough up'

:erm:

No here’s the point, he’s made the ‘demand’ with no details as to how it will be imposed, which is a typical Trump ‘let mouth run off before brain has engaged’*

Who pays the ‘tariff’, undecided, how is it paid, undecided, who decides the value of the cargo, undecided?

Forget it, it simply will never happen.

* yes, I know there are those who will argue that he has no brain - but please just run with it.

You're probably right, or there will be some reason to "pause" them.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

Someone needs to cover the war costs towards Iran he wasn't happy that nobody wanted to play ball with him so this is his way of trying to upset the apple cart in the EU. What we really need to know is who is the real puppet master
