Donald Trump has pledged to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as early as Monday morning in a “humanitarian gesture”. The US president declared that “Project Freedom” was meant to “free up people, companies, and Countries that have done absolutely nothing wrong”, who he called “victims of circumstance”. It comes after Trump said on Saturday that there was a “possibility” he could order renewed strikes against Iran. Iran’s military warned the US against taking such action, declaring it retained security control over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the decision comes as his representatives were having “very positive discussions” with Iran, who reportedly issued the US president a one-month deadline for negotiations on its proposed deal to reopen the strait and bring an end to the war. However, Ibrahim Azizi, a senior Iranian lawmaker, has warned that US involvement in managing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz would constitute a violation of the ceasefire.

    Not if they are also a malignant narcissist, it looks exactly like we are seeing.

    Its like a battle between Ocamm and Hanlon’s razors. Without Hanlon’s razor, and using Occam’s, it’s obviously for the benefit of Russia. But once you introduce Hanlon’s razor Occams becomes weaker.
