re: #345 RogueOne

They’re willing to do that on their own, without any provocation, and still blame the U.S.. We can’t let our concern about giving them a PR boost be a decisive reason to sit on our hands if they try something stupid like closing down the strait. The Iranian military isn’t as highly regarded by the people like it was 30 years ago, if we give them a bloody nose people will get over it.

They’re threatening to close down the strait because we’re not simply threatening, but preparing to engage in, economic warfare. What, did you think we could enact stronger sanctions and they would do nothing in response?
