Wine, are you sure that this isn't an SNL sketch, and someone is having us on?
"If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far.
It has already stopped the flow, Mr President, thanks in part to insurers deciding to pull out and most companies following suit.
"Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!
Mr President, the easily destroyable targets are low hanging fruit. The hard to destroy ones are kind of important...if you recall back to June of 2025. As to "never rebuilding again"...uh, we dropped two nukes on Japan in 1945. They rebuilt...(albeit with a little help from their friends). Don't sell the people of Iran short. What ever breaks or gets bombed, they'll rebuild.
See 1980 - 1988 for an example of their resilience.
"This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated."
Mr President, the last time great appreciation came to the US from China, the messenger was Madame Chiang (aka
Soong Mei-ling).
Expecting great appreciation is a sure set up for disappointment. Might want to consider a bit of expectations management.
The jokes almost write themselves.
