"It's piracy": Da Silva criticizes Trump's attempts to take control of Hormuz

Brazilian President Lula da Silva criticized Donald Trump's actions in the Middle East. He made this statement while speaking at an event in São Paulo.

The Brazilian leader was displeased with Trump's recent decisions, particularly regarding the resumption of war with Iran and the establishment of control over the Strait of Hormuz, charging a toll equal to 20% of the value of cargo. According to da Silva, this is simple piracy, which Trump is trying to cover up with claims of "freedom of navigation." Furthermore, the Brazilian dismissed the US president's claims that Iran was planning to build a nuclear bomb as lies.

Trump says he will open the Strait of Hormuz, but every oil tanker will have to pay a 20% fee. This used to be called piracy. The US claims Iran is developing a nuclear weapon, is a lie, just like story with Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.

According to da Silva, responsibility for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz lies entirely with the United States. Before the attack on Iran, the Strait was open and there were no problems. The closure of the Strait and the ongoing war in the Middle East are impacting the economy, causing food prices to rise. In short, the United States needs to end the conflict and withdraw from the Middle East.

Trump previously stated that he intends to establish American control over the Strait of Hormuz and make passage through it a toll road.

Not at all. They've formed an organized crime group and are running the show. The recalcitrant ones are put on a meter or their feet are buried in a basin of concrete and sent off to feed the fish. A typical gang under the guise of a state. They're also cowards, only ready to muggle, brave in groups, and if you find a good fellow, they'll wet their pants right away...

Yes, Trump himself has already abandoned his desire to take 20% of the value of cargo from ships passing through Hormuz.
Should we believe him?
He blurts out something, and a day later he takes back his words.
You can't trust any politician these days, they're all "Trumps".

It jumped from 10% to 20% in a day, and when the Persians threw in a little, I immediately reversed. Like, "I didn't really want it that badly"... The old man let off all the steam.

Why is Lula silent about Maduro's kidnapping from a neighboring country half a lapta away from Brazil?
Or he is afraid of a repeat of something similar to him.

The entire observable history of the successful development of the Anglo-Saxons is based on two factors: piracy and usury.

Got it? As if it were a duck...

Iran is offering more affordable prices for passage through Hormuz, rather than Trump's draconian 20%.

It's like tightening a nut on people and then loosening it a bit to make it easier. Now they'll be racing to buy season tickets in Iran.

Lulu da Silva is absolutely right! The US suffered a defeat in Iran, and to cover up this disaster, they're orchestrating an even greater disaster! They're resorting to a mindless escalation of the conflict!

[ankon]

The US is robbing the entire world! Donald Trump's astonishing proposal. "Trump says he'll open the Strait of Hormuz, but every oil tanker will have to pay 20%." What does the US have to do with the Strait of Hormuz? It's not US territory, is it?

We will wait, like the Chinese, for Trump's corpse to float past Iran through the Strait of Hormuz.

I hope old Lulu doesn't get sent to Graham to share experiences...

[alexputnik17]

According to da Silva, this is common piracy, which Trump is trying to cover up with statements about “freedom of navigation.”

And when was it any different among the Saxons and others?

In the fall... We'll be watching and listening to the news from the primaries. Where and how much will Trump be stuffed with mattresses for his "blitzkrieg" with the Persians.
