“The Strait of Hormuz is apparently. Not our problem anymore.”

“Create a global economic crisis and then just walk away and tell everyone that it's their problem?”
Frames the situation as a deliberate creation of a 'global economic crisis' with charged phrasing ('walk away') where a more measured description of policy consequences exists.
“creating a potentially economic catastrophe that I think people have not yet gotten their minds around because it's coming one way or another”
Amplifies threat by framing the strait closure as an imminent 'economic catastrophe' people have not yet grasped, heightening anxiety about the situation.
