US blockade contradictions and lies

Debates


Here is an article trying to make the case that oil tankers are being let through by the US navy blockade getting past the strait of Hurmuz. But I do not think it stands up to scrutiny.

I noticed some contradictions like these:

"Lie #1: The US Is Blocking All Ships Traveling Through The Strait
This is false. The US is only blocking ships coming from Iranian ports. All other ships have been allowed to pass without incident. This lie is being spread by disinfo agents all over social media and it is also being spread by foreign governments from the UK to France to China. This, to me, says A LOT about the true agenda of these countries, given that they said little or nothing about Iran locking down the strait."

So I am expected to believe all these countries are lying including our allies? Trump has lied about the war many times just to bring down the price of oil. But after all of those lies you want to believe everyone else is lying then let's move on to the obvious contradictions that undermine this narrative some oil tankers are leaving the Persian Gulf with oil. Here is another:


"Lie #3: The Blockade Puts US Naval Ships At Serious Risk
No, it does the opposite. US ships have no need to traverse the narrow Hormuz to blockade it. All they have to do is wait outside of it and turn back Iranian tankers that approach. No mines, no missiles, no drones, no tiny attack boats, nothing Iran has the ability to deploy has much of a chance of harming the US Navy. In fact, reports indicate ships like the USS Abraham Lincoln (an aircraft carrier) have already been targeted hundreds of times by Iran with no damage taken."

But there are mines across the strait of Hormuz. The US would have had to remove enough mines for these mysterious oil tankers that are supposedly getting through. US ships would have to traverse the narrow Hormuz to remove mines. This is a contradiction. So it appears lie #3 is not a lie at all and that means lie #1 is not a lie either. Brandon Smith is just eager to prove himself right so badly he is spinning a web of contradictions in an attempt to toot his own horn.

I think it is likely no oil tankers are leaving the Persian Gulf at all. It is another lie among many Trump has told to drive down oil prices. If the oil tankers Iran was letting through are no longer getting through then no oil is getting through the strait of Hormuz. So Trump is counting on the world economy to last longer than Iran's economy with a 100% blockade now that Iranian oil is no longer getting through. Trump is lying again. No oil tankers are getting through as he falsely claims. No mines were removed as known liar Hegseth has claimed. As if a big battleship snuck in, removed mines and snuck out before Iran could hit it with a hyper sonic missile. Iran is getting logistical support from Russia. I don't think so.

Ignorant, just plain ignorant!

Show me evidence oil tankers are getting past the mines in Hormuz. And explain how a battleship was able to go there to remove some mines. The US blockade is away from the strait. Why are they keeping their distance if it is safe in the strait?

Hegseth lied. No mines were removed. No oil tankers are getting through. It is a lie to keep oil prices down.
