Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So, when the first Chinese ship goes through, what will they do? Attacking it will bring in a whole new issue. And won't this free up Iranian forces to fight elsewhere?

By then they'll have sold the stocks they bought last week and on to the next "announcement"

That's really the only context some of this makes sense from. Each Sunday night/Monday morning it's a waiting game of what weird surprise will Trump pull out of his hat to give the market an excuse to pump.
