Will closing the Strait of Hormuz close your access to the Strait of Horpuss

[11Bravo]

I don't need to vouch for what Trump is trying to solve here other than eliminate Iran getting nuclear capabilities (yes questionable) but the issue of the Straits of Hormuz to America is none existent. They have enough oil in their own right and they also now have Venezuela under their thumb. Oil supply is not a thought to the Americans. 😎

I was referring to woodland's post: Trump thinking Iran would be another Venezuela. Cut the head off the snake, the snake dies (believe that was from Doonesbury - Uncle Duke & Honey). You might not like fanatics, but you do have to admire their determination under appalling conditions. And when you're fighting for YOUR country... Keeping the Strait open with asymmetric warfare (USS Samuel B. Roberts), taking Kharg Island (as in so many locations, getting in easy, getting out...). Seems simple, until it's your BOTG...

And never underestimate Americans' sensitivity to pump prices...

Netanyahu has played Trump like a shitty fake gold piano.

Yep. There was a reason why previous American presidents chose to try and contain Iran, not to start a war with them.
