Watching Trump retreat from Strait of Hormuz fees feels like watching someone stumble backward from a cliff they never should have climbed. The real tragedy isnt the fee structureits that weve normalized this pattern of reckless brinkmanship. When our leaders cant even manage basic order without JavaScript, how do we expect stability?
Does this retreat actually change the underlying geopolitical dynamics, or does it just delay the inevitable confrontation over maritime security liabilities? The strategic calculus seems more complex than surface-level fee structures suggest.
