The situation has no way out. Leaving without opening the strait ruins the Gulf States that own a large part of the American economy that would go to hell. Opening the strait without troops on the ground is impossible, troops on the ground will be a pickle in lives and material as not seen since the Second World War. I think before this is over he will be seriously considering the nuclear option, I hope they can stop him before that
It’s not going to happen, but paying him reparations would really be the right thing to do. Recognizing sovereignty over Hormuz no, that would not be fair or good or acceptable to anyone
I hope a clot stops him before then because there’s a much better chance of that than any of the spineless people in government suddenly doing anything about anything.
