They're talking big talk, but sending in 2000 marines isn't going to do much. Iran can play whack a mole while they wait out the clock. It's a huge mountainous country and they only need to hit one ship in the strait to cause havoc.
Trump's already had the gall to look around for allies to help in the strait after his year long backstabbing tour. Iran's upped their demands because they smell blood in the water and they just need to draw things out.
It's wild that someone with his status hasn't figured out that maybe we shouldn't bully every single country in the world, if only out of self-preservation and our own self-interest.
I really hate that we as a people no longer care if our presidents have functioning brains.
The famous shart of the deal.
Hey guys, anyone want to start WW3 on my side? Our power has been checked by Iran and we could really use some help. But also we don't need your help. UK? Canada?... Japan?... China? I know your ships have free passage, but It would make really fun headlines if you helped me.
