The CENTCOM declared that the Strait of Hormuz is double-closed now. Apparently 10.000 US servicemen were sent over there together with the US military hardware to make sure the world's economy chokes since about 25% of global oil and gas export is put on a hold right now.

The memes about this situation are delightful. The economic consequences for nearly entire humanity are not as pleasant. In the most recent interview, Donald Trump said that the war against Iran is "almost over". If this is how "almost over" looks like - I am afraid to imagine how does "completely over" look like to the US president. Plus I still expect China to do something big about this situation. India too, given how much oil and gas they buy from the Middle East.

Perhaps this is indeed a part of Donald Trump's 4D chess move. In other to confuse your enemies - you must confuse yourself first.
