Send your ponzi trinkets to my manager for now.

She knows how to deal with them, I do not.

I never have, and never will give a shit about the money circus. I want to slay zombies.

That is why I hired her.

Didn't anyone read the article?

It clearly says that a 'member of parliament' said this. It is far from being a requirement.

Based on a quick check of ships currently traveling through the Strait of Hormuz, I find ships registered to the following countries:

Panama, Cyprus, Marshall Islands, Hong Kong, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Malta...as well as military ships from the UK and NATO.

I realize the actual owners of these ships could be based anywhere--but does Iran think they can just pull these ships to the side of the road and ask for a handout? Just how are they going to gather their "tolls"?


To me, it just shows how out of touch the leaders of Iran are with the rest of the World.

JIZYA

jizya is a tax on the infidel who is in Islamic lands. Legal under their LAW.

So technically, Iran can charge this tax by international standards.
Sure it's Mafia tactics (Muslims steal all concepts from other cultures and twist it to deviant application).

Look at this from Islamic point of view, this is not a declaration of WAR, it is enforcing local LAW.

NOW.

Saudi must obey the same LAW.
However, Saudi has been imposing this TAX on the us with the Petro-dollar in which we exchanged US MILITARY PROTECTION to them in exchange for.... PROTECTION of the infidels in the region.

Petro-Dollar was removed and now other countries want their piece of jizya paid to them.

See how this works?

PIRATES. exactly.
(or Mafia, all stolen concepts from other cultures and twisted).

So how did the Kennedy's deal with the Mafia? They deregulated them and allowed them to crumble from within and Dapper Don and lots of other were murdered in the late 1980's.

How did the Crown deal with Pirates?

NOT Iranian waters. International accord several eons ago established the Straits of Hormuz as international waters, belonging to no country. Look on chart 62392, plain as can be.

Iran is planning to charge foreign ships a toll in exchange for "protection" across the Strait of Hormuz, a key trade route and a flashpoint in the escalating dispute between the United States and the Islamic Republic.

A member of the Iranian Parliament's presidium said foreign commercial entities should compensate Iran as "the true provider of security in the region and international waters,". Amirhossein Qazizadeh Hashemi claimed ships enter Iranian waters on their way through the strait and should therefore pay a toll.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow, 21-mile waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and greater Arabian Sea. About 18.5 million barrels of oil travel through the strait each day, accounting for 30% of the world's sea-traded oil. The waterway is considered crucial to global trade, but with a shipping lane only three miles long, it is also extremely vulnerable.

Waiting for Trump to helicopter onto a US Aircraft Carrier and have it steam right through the Strait of Hormuz with him waving on the top deck towards Iran. Relaxed, sitting in a lounge chair with a massive US flag draped over the side of the carrier facing Iran.

Nope. OPEC makes more money on tourism than oil now. So technology will change when the resource runs dry. However, OPEC will fight and that's what we are seeing now.
