“Oman will behave just like everybody else or we’ll have to blow them up,” he told reporters Wednesday at a White House Cabinet meeting. “They understand that. They’ll be fine.”

Trump was referring to the talks Oman is in with Iran to potentially charge a toll for ships passing through the Straight of Hormuz. I’m sure these mindbogglingly stupid threats to yet another ally are doing us absolutely no good. And of course this toll situation wasn’t even imaginable before Trump’s idiotic, haphazard, disorganized, erratic war.

Meantime, no oil is passing through the Straight, and potentially much worse neither is fertilizer that many of the world’s nations need to grow food. Iran is negotiating from a position of strength, not weakness. No regime change, no limits on nukes, missile sites mostly rebuilt, stranglehold on the world economy, and laughing while watching Trump squeal like a fat little pig that he is.
