“The U.S. aims to defend its interests and safeguard freedom of navigation in the strategic waterway”

The US can’t be going and getting all energy independent again. That just won’t do 😠

 

How will Russia keep the Ukraine invasion going if we actually crash the price of oil and stop the flow of money into the Kremlin’s coffers?

 

The Saudi’s would never countenance actually having to behave, for fear of American oil flooding the market and driving down their income.

 

And those poor Iranian protesters need to retain some meager sense of hope that the US cares about their plight and may, in twenty or thirty years’ time, choose to actually do something to support their cause. A bake sale, perhaps?

 

F-16s and F-35s are a token show of force, at best. Just America trumpeting its global secure role with a kazoo from last Christmas.

IOW,

 

”Something must be done.

 

This is something.

 

Therefore, this must be done.”

Over a century of bad foreign policy leading to a world war, a nuclear war,  countless proxy wars with Russia,  China,  and with Saudi Arabian gentry, 100s of millions of lives lost, and tens of trillions of dollars spent.

When you tell a Democrat that the first Commander-in-Chief since Jimmy Carter to serve a full term without getting embroiled in another new shooting match was Donald Trump, the thump as their jaw hits the floor is as satisfying as a hot bacon sandwich after an epic pub crawl 😋

With Bidementia on the wrong side of all of it.
