If My Allies Had the Guts to Open the Strait of Hormuz, They’d Rule the World – And the Dollar Would Be Toast
Look, folks, the Strait of Hormuz is a big, beautiful chokepoint—the most important waterway on Earth. Twenty million barrels of oil a day, plus a huge chunk of LNG, all squeezed through this narrow little strip between Iran and Oman. Close it, and prices skyrocket. Open it on your terms, and suddenly you’re the boss of energy.
I told our so-called allies: “Go get your own oil! Send your ships, clear the mines, escort the tankers.” The UK, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea—they all depend on that strait way more than we do. We’re energy independent. But Europe? Asia? They’re desperate.
If any one country could truly force open and control the Strait of Hormuz, they would control global energy flows. The country that reliably keeps those tankers moving becomes the gatekeeper of modern civilization and displace the USD.
Make America Great Again — the strait is the ultimate prize.
