The concern that Trump admin incompetents will fuck it up.

negotiating with us. The apearance of negotiation is just a game because what they demand for negotiation is ridiculous. They don’t trust us at all. When you killed 175 school students, when you killed a country’s legitimate leader without officially declaring a war against that country, how could you get trust by your opponent?

All that matters at this point is getting that strait open. Any return to war would be sorta shocking - and unbelievably stupid on our part.

And I have news: if they got nuclear weapons, they wouldn’t use them. They’d be as rational as North Korea, who have had nukes for 20 years, and never came remotely close to using them.

WE (whoever we are) get nukes for defense; THEY want nukes for offense.

It’s a misperception.

But they are not close. And they have always been willing to negotiate about that issue. About missiles & support for their regional allies…not so much.

Why anyone thinks we should compromise with that is beyond me.

With the will of the American people, we can easily wait this out. Who wouldn't trade high gas prices for peace in the Middle East without troops on the ground?

They have Trump by his low-hanging, shriveled, old-guy balls, and everyone knows it.

or we are close to a deal then more confrontations. We are kidding ourselves that keeping Iran in check means are "safety".

Do you feel this confrontation is 'winnable' in it's current form? More importantly the American people are being directly hurt by it all. This isn't a worldwide pandemic peeling off the unexpected. We willingly went into this war thinking Iran would fold and they have not.

There're already pipelines being deployed to bypass the Strait.

We are a net exporter of oil, high oil prices actually help us as a nation in the aggregate.

The leaders in Iran want to die in this conflict so they can rape virgins in the afterlife. So yes, they aren't interested at all in my 5 point plan.

We will have to grant their wish, and kill them. And then my 5 point plan comes into play after they run out of Jihadis.

If that strait stays closed into the summer, the world economy will seize up. A real risk of global depression.

Don’t take my word for it - listen to the CEO of Exxon.

Could it be he was commenting on his bias / self-interest? Ill let cheeks speak for himself, but whether I agree or disagree, that's how I took his comment. He can correct me if I am wrong.
