So...
You are okay with them hitting US ships protecting a shipping choke point?
Do you carry a gun before or after you get attacked? Do you lock the door before or after robbed? Do you store your money in a bank or keep cash laying around?
Im all for proaction! Keep them crazy people over there, and keeping them from having big booms protects you and yours!
Most here dont give two shits about any of those 3rd world countries. We all love a civil life. I dont wanna kill any Iranian people but they wanna kill us. Keep that shit on their soil.
Most know to keep your eyes on the trouble maker kids, and address their behavior before they turn everything into a shit show.....same same!
Kinda like California.....keep that crazy shit in your own state.
I think what
@kthomas is suggesting, is that we get the only real reason we/re there, to protect the oil supply, and that the wise move would be to put ourselves in a postition that we dont need the Strait of Hormuz. We have plenty of oil we just need to restructure the refining. We have plenty of natural gas, and had Carter not fucked the pooch Mexico has 10X as much we could buy. Then work on improving solar until its viable.
We dont need to be world cops. Lets get it together here and let them settle their own differences. I have 0 love for Israel, or Iran, l and dont want to see one American life or dollar wasted over there.
If they come here or start shit here, different story.
