Just like every other move Trump makes and everything he comes in contact with, this one has turned to dog feces. Because he only acts in one way, rashly without consideration for the consequences, this blockade move will end up blowing up in his face as you described Fred.
Thanks to his authoritarian without compassion ways, Trump actually has the world cheering on Iran to put him in his place.
Never in my wildest dreams did I see Iran as the adult in the room on the world stage. The fanta shitgibbon couldn't have given China a.bigger gift than this stupid war, the stupider blockade of a blockade amd the stupidest reinforcement of the Yuan as a potential replacement of the dollar as the worlds reserve currency. There is absolutely zero forethought or analysis before he acts and when the results aren't what he expects he dou he's down on being the stupideriest leader in the world. We are so screwed.
Iran can sell shipping insurance also! Tanker owners want insurance to move ships. Iran insure, AND is the biggest threat to uninsured shipping or Lloyd’s insured ships. We made Iran go into the protection racket!

“Nice little tanker you got there. It would frighten the fishies if it sank, eh?”
It will be pure pandemonium once the Petrodollar collapses. What will he do? The US economy will collapse. Were "The Doors" prophetic? "It is the end my friend".
Once the Petrodollar collapses and takes the US economy with it, we will all be in trouble. It won't happen tonight, or tomorrow, but it looks ever and ever nearer than it's ever been.

You’re not wrong about the pattern, Frank…
but the bigger story isn’t Trump... it’s what this move reveals.
Once money can move outside the system, ships and blockades
don’t control the outcome anymore.

Feels upside down, doesn’t it… but I wouldn’t call Iran “the adult” here.
What you’re seeing is systems colliding... old-school force vs new-school finance.
And right now, the money is moving faster than the ships.
That’s the part that should make people pay attention.

You’ve basically described it perfectly Steve...
It starts looking less like “policy” and more like a protection market.
Control the risk… then sell the safety.
And once that loop is running, the old insurance system doesn’t disappear...
it just gets sidelined.

It won’t collapse overnight, Ron…
systems like that don’t fall off a cliff... they erode.
The real risk isn’t “the end”…
it’s a slow shift where the dollar matters a little less each time a workaround proves it can function without it.
That’s how big changes actually happen.
