𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐈𝐟 𝐖𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠
I’ve been watching something unfold… and honestly, it’s frustrating.
You’ve got Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Kamala Harris — along with dozens of other Democrat leaders — stepping out and claiming they speak on behalf of the American people.
Let me make something very clear.
𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞.
And the American people already made it clear… she does not speak for them either.
𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲.
With that being said…
Sometimes the American public doesn’t fully think things through.
Gas prices go up… and immediately the reaction is frustration.
I get it. I don’t like high gas prices either.
But step back for a second and ask a better question:
𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲… 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞?
Right now, what we’re dealing with is a non-nuclear Iran.
That matters more than people realize.
Because as bad as things feel today…
𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲.
I can’t tell you if that means weeks or months.
But I can tell you this:
𝐈𝐟 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫… 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫.
𝐈𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭.
Let’s talk about why.
Most people have never even heard of the Strait of Hormuz.
But about 20% of the world’s oil flows through that one narrow passage.
And Iran sits right on it.
They don’t need to invade anyone.
They don’t need to win a war.
They just need to control that chokepoint.
And what are they doing right now?
With more than 90% of their military capability already degraded…
They are still:
• Threatening ships
• Restricting traffic
• And charging 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 $2 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫 just to pass through
Think about that.
Pay… or your ship doesn’t make it.
That’s happening right now — without nuclear weapons.
Now think this through one level deeper.
What happens when you give that same regime nuclear protection?
You don’t stop them anymore.
You can’t.
Because every response risks something much bigger.
And while the world hesitates…
They rebuild.
They’ve already shown the pattern:
• 100 new missiles per month
• 100 new drones per month
• Added to the thousands already launched
Now imagine that growth under nuclear protection.
At that point, they don’t just influence the Strait of Hormuz.
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐢𝐭. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲.
They decide:
• What passes
• What gets delayed
• What gets stopped
And every country on Earth feels it.
Now bring it back to what people care about…
Gas prices.
Right now, they’re high.
Frustrating. Painful.
But still 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞.
In a nuclear scenario?
That pressure doesn’t go away.
It becomes:
• Permanent leverage
• Permanent instability
• Permanent economic pressure
Think about this… If they can get by charging $2 million per tanker while they're weak, what do you think they would charge if they were unconditionally nuclear strong?
What do you think that would do to your gas prices then?
And here’s the crazy part…
If that happens…
People will look back and say:
“We had a chance to stop this… and didn’t.”
They’ll say:
𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤. 𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.
That’s how history works.
It doesn’t judge based on comfort in the moment.
It judges based on what was prevented… or allowed.
So yes… gas prices are high right now.
But ask yourself honestly:
𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧…
Or live under a system where a hostile regime controls a major portion of the world’s energy supply…
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭?
Because that’s the difference.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬… 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲.
However, if Donald Trump had not stepped up to the plate…
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭… 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞.
If you follow patterns instead of headlines, follow me. I break this down daily.
