All of these things can be true...
1. Trump is an idiot for starting this war.
2. Iran is not "winning the war" not even close.
3. Iran does not control the strait.
4. Iran does impede the strait.
5. The US does control the strait more than any other party involved.
6. Ship traffic is the highest in 6 months because number one happened 6 months ago and our military is kick ass at what it does.
7. The reason diesel is so high is due to a refinery with electrical failures in the mid-west not the war in Iran.
8. Iran is run by inbred 3rd world retards and we'd all be better off it that wasn't true.
9. The US is run by 2 mafia families called political parties, and we'd all be better off if that wasn't true.
10. Most of your problems are mostly due to your own choices in spite of what I said above. The answer to improving your own life is in the mirror.
