They’re using what little leverage they have, and for once, without bombing or killing people. Surprisingly rational. Still a shitty regime, especially the way they treat their own citizens, but anyways…
What are you even talking about!? Nobody gives a shit if they bomb or kill people. Raising gas prices will bring more military consequences in a week than you’d get for a hundred years of genocide.

And how do you suppose you close an entire waterway without killing anyone? You sit in canoes with a stick and tell people to pay the toll?
It’s called a blockade. And the U.S. has a long history of using it.
Which is enforced by threat of force using warships and/or troops that will ask for tolls I guess…
