I don't see a way out of the Strait of Hormuz fiasco.

Iran has won the lottery by taking control of the strait and wont give that up. dump wont let them keep control of it but cant do anything about it so the current situation will continue with entire economies being restructured with huge damage being done.

If I had to guess, this is what I think will be the end result:
1. Iran will officially have the Strait.....can't see them giving up the Strait.
2. The U.S. will pay billions to Iran due to damages.
3. Putin's Orders to date:
A. Destroy the NATO alliance or dependence on the U.S.
B. Damage American democracy.
C. Destroy or Damage America's reputation.
D. Fracture America.
E. Eliminate America's soft power.
4. Our influence within the Middle East is curtailed.

Regardless of how long the war or whatever the buffoon calls it - we will lose more.

IMO
