<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 26740930, member: 41780&quot;]With all due respect, this looks like the optimism expressed by the U.S. government while the Vietnam War raged. If fighting is done via drones, as you say, that actually equalizes the war, since Iran has plenty of drones - they were even selling them to Russia in their war against Ukraine. I just don&#039;t see how ships can feel safe going through the strait - there must be innumerable hidden missile systems aiming right now at the empty water. Like I said before, I for one would not want to take the chance of going through that strait - even the U.S. Navy would be vulnerable, and I think CNBC pointed out some war planners are nixing the idea. I think if Iran continues to rain missiles on Israel and U.S. bases, there will be no choice but to put boots on the ground. This is now a high-stakes game, because the Midterms are coming up, Americans are stretched financially, the world is also stretched, and there&#039;s not much of an appetite domestically (including in this forum) for this. Now I hope my analysis is faulty and that you are right, because we all stand to benefit if this gets resolved as soon as possible. I just don&#039;t think there was much strategic thinking here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
