The straight ‘closing ‘ for a couple weeks is a good trade off for ridding the world of Iran’s radical regime (assuming that happens eventually). Boots on the ground, except for maybe Kharg island, won’t pass muster, and won’t happen IMO. IF I were in change, I’d be working the phones behind the scenes for the Saudi’s and others to pony up the troops to stabilize Iran if it comes to that. Hopefully, the populace raises up when the money is right, and soon. The regime is very unpopular, even before this.



Im not convinced there was no operational foresight. I mean, really, do you honestly think no one in Centcom brought that up??

Consider for a moment, what if this works? There are many things I don’t like about the President, but if he actually puts an end to Irans terrorizing the world in big ways and small, and gets peace in the Middle East through the Abraham Accords being Saudi into normalizing relations with Israel, what will you say then?

Honestly, there are a lot of people and media who seem to be genuinely rooting against the USA. They want to see this fail, because they see this as path to finally pin The President to the ground. Their hatred of him knows no bounds. Not saying that’s you, but that is scary regardless of support, septicism, or anti-war feelings.
