Trump's DISASTROUS Plan To Blockade The Strait Of Hormuz!

Jimmy Dore analyzes Donald Trump's absurd threat to "blockade" the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran already controls and has been charging $2 million per ship to allow passage, while military experts like Scott Ritter and Larry Johnson explain that any U.S. attempt to board foreign ships would be an act of war—and that U.S. naval vessels are staying 700 miles from the Iranian coast after being driven back by drone attacks. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point out that Trump will simultaneously beg for a ceasefire and threaten to bomb Iran again, all while admitting gas prices "could be a little bit higher" before the midterms — an admisstion that stunned even Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. Ritter notes that the U.S. has already lost the war, that Iran holds all the cards, and that any new escalation would trigger Iran to destroy Gulf energy infrastructure, collapse the global economy, and end modern civilization in the region. Jimmy concludes that Trump is completely controlled by Netanyahu, who needs the war to continue to avoid prison and secure reelection in Israel. Plus segments on Trump's hostile response to Pope Leo, negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner's divided loyalties and the impending demise of NATO. Also featuring Mike MacRae, Col. Douglas Macgregor and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from JD Vance!
