TRUMP, IRAN, AND THE STRATEGY MOST AMERICANS NEVER HEARD
Most Americans were told U.S. pressure on Iran was about nuclear weapons.
But there was a deeper strategic reality.
Energy.
China imports over 10 million barrels of oil every day. Much of it comes from the Middle East — including Iran.
And nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply moves through a single narrow choke point:
The Strait of Hormuz.
Now consider what U.S. power in that region means.
Venezuelan supply — controlled. Iranian supply — controlled. Middle Eastern flow — monitored and controlled.
By overwhelming United States military and naval power.
This is pressure without direct war.
When a rival’s energy lifelines fall under strategic leverage… its industrial power weakens.
Factories feel it. Industry feels it. AI infrastructure feels it.
This is why Trump-era Iran policy had global implications far beyond the Middle East.
For Americans concerned about national strength, global leadership, and strategic competition — this context matters.

DAY EIGHT of Alaskan Cruise: Thursday, September 18, 2025 Skagway

Image
 This was what I saw out the window when I got up. The RUBY PRINCESS had stopped and we were in Skagway!  We had breakfast at the Botticelli (I had a soft boiled egg, toast, oatmeal and a banana) and then we returned to our room to get ready for getting off the ship and going to Skagway.  We got tickets for Shuttle #10 and went down to wait to be called.  Things moved along fairly quickly. The shuttle boat was one of the lifeboats, it took us to the mainland.  This is a view of the RUBY PRINCESS from the port.   When we arrived we took a shuttle to the downtown area where we walked around a bit. The downtown area has a lot of interesting shops, etc. but we did not have time to go in many of them.  Here are a few pictures:    We found a geocaches in the library (hooray). And you can see it in this picture that I took.   We picked up a few free items from various jewelry stores.  There were a lot of jewelry stores, and we did ...

 Church was very good this morning.  After church, Betty, Jan, Maggie and I met up at Laport's for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner.  It was way too much food to eat in one sitting, so I brought most of it home with me.  Their turkey dinner on Sunday when it is one of their specials is a real good deal: only twelve dollars after the senior discount is used.  Our server automatically gave it to all four of us.  I suggested to Betty, Jan and Maggie that we do this every Sunday after church, going to a different restaurant every Sunday.   The 2022 Ladies Retreat was announced in the bulletin this morning.  Unfortunately for me, it starts the day after I plan to return to Lockport after my week in Allegany State Park with Leslie.  EVEN SO, I plan to go.  I could leave ASP one day early.  I will have to think about this more.  I think I will decide to leave ASP one day early so that I can have one full day and part of anoth...

THURSDAY March 17th, 2022 Saint Patricks Day

 I had to get up pretty early in order to get to Dr. Paul Wirth's office, just north of Williamsville for my procedure/surgery:  cutting out some squamous cells in my nose.  I got a tiny bit nervous because I thought I passed Sheridan Drive (where I was supposed to turn right off of Transit) so I pulled over into a parking lot and put my Navigator on and found out that I had not passed it.  The Navigator took me where I was going by a different route than I had planned, but it worked well, and I arrived about ten minutes before my seven-a.m. appointment.  Dr. Wirth is very pleasant, and he explained things well, and the procedure went well.  The only pain was when the anesthesia was administered via needle.  It does hurt pretty bad, but it is only a few seconds.  He kept apologizing.  Then he took whatever he took out to the lab and inspected it and came back to give me the verdict.   I think he said "it could not have gone better" ...
