Now that the dust has settled, why couldn't the US Navy open the Strait? What's the point in having all these aircraft carriers and destroyers if they can't do this one thing?
Potential for a turkey shoot
>>537554816The military industrial complex is primarily interested in making money so they sell overpriced Cold War era large targets to the US government meanwhile we can see in two wars now that drone warfare isn’t just the future but the present

>>537554816our weapons are decades out of date and in short supply
>>537554816After blowing up several random boats in the Caribbean and Atlantic international waters they now suddenly care about international law.

>>537554816Basically, modern warfare is just drones and missiles attacking civilian infrastructure and radar systems for the enemies drones and missiles. Soldiers, boats, and even aircraft do not matter. The US military is basically a massive welfare program for morons. The bases in the middle east were completely helpless and ineffective.
>>537554816Imagine if France closes the English channel by shooting every ship that tries to pass. The Bongs would need to occupy France to stop them because all it takes is a French with a rocket launcher to sink a ship.
>>537555288>Imagine if France closes the English channel by shootingnot realistic.Maybe they close the channel by spanning a white flag across it?
>>537554816Because Iran would blow up all the refineries in the gulf states. Which may be the end goal. Guess who has enough oil in a crisis and guess who has no oil. It’s not US ;)
>>537554816Think about how ludicrously expensive battleships and aircraft carriers are, and think about how utterly humiliating it would be if one took even minor damage from a shitty shahed drone or god forbid a sea mine. America would never ever live it down, it would be magnitudes more humiliating than the time Yugoslavia downed one of their stealth fighters. One lucky hit and oops taxpayers need to fork over another few billion dollars.
>>537555654idk who is it
>>537554816The only way to stop Iran from chimping out on civilian ships would be either a ground invasion or to war crime the country out of existence.
>>537555219why is there so much GTA posting lately?
>>537556097Neither of these things will stop a random Shahed drone launched from their missile cities hitting tankers in the Persian Gulf though
