Meanwhile, dozens were injured by Iranian strikes in Israel, as Tehran targeted a nuclear site.
Donald Trump threatened Iran in a Truth Social post Saturday evening, warning that the U.S. would target the nation’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.
“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump wrote in the post.
Approximately 20% of the world’s oil passes through the the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route. Iranian attacks on ships in the area have seen the area essentially close to maritime traffic, while oil prices have soared globally.
I’m not a “vote blue no matter who” person and nobody is advocating that. I am talking about one election in which there was a specific choice and you made a bad one. In the future, I hope we have better choices, and I’ll do whatever I can to advocate for candidates who want to fundamentally restructure our systems.
And yes Jill Stein is a Russian asset or at the very least a shill.
Stein recorded a video from Red Square, in which she talked about “the need to rein in American exceptionalism” and replace “a U.S. policy based on domination.” Which, she’s not wrong, but she wasn’t saying it for the right reasons (hint hint red square).

And then there’s her position on Ukraine which is straight from the mouth of Putin and Lavrov.
“Russia’s invasion was a provoked response to the bigger, more murderous and illegal game plan of US empire… In 2014 the US backed a coup in Ukraine led by far-right insurrectionists. The installation of the new government was a giant step towards the goal of adding Ukraine to NATO - and putting hostile bases and nuclear-capable missiles right on Russia’s border.” – Jill Stein (Feb. 24, 2022)
Then theres, you know, her having dinner with Putin. In Moscow. For… Reasons?
I do not understand why you seem so convinced that I voted for Jill Stein. I did not. I am well aware that she is terrible.
