Lockheed Martin shareholders approve.

I bet they do. The oil lobby must be creaming their pants right now too.
America is producing 12 million barrels per day, cha-ching !

Same shit different day.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Trump should have pulled out of the deal and should have sanctioned Iran. You are portraying it as a bad move. I don't care if Iran wanted to retaliate, that doesn't mean America shouldn't hit them back.

His base didn't elect a dove, his base elected someone who promised to fuck up those attacking America. His base elected some to bomb the shit out of ISIS, not be a pacifist.
Sure, if you want a terrorist state to end up with nuclear weapons it's a fucking genius move.

The nuclear deal did nothing to prevent Iran getting nukes, it in fact helped speed up the process. Your idiot media may have told you otherwise, but you have been mislead.

Smitty, can the US navy stop the Iranians from closing the Strait of Hormuz?

What happens to oil prices and the world economy if they can't?

The Iranians don't want that war, but in the event of; it would be a theater war

Joint combined arms air & sea offensive across the board against targets throughout Iran

Rather than confront them tactically in Hormuz : a general offensive to cripple their entire military capacity

So, just sabre rattling and nothing to get excited about?

In any confrontation there is a chance of things spiraling out of control

That being said, trying to close the Straits of Hormuz is a Double Edged Sword

On the one hand a trump card, on the other a suicide mission

Net result would be that the Iranian military gets annihilated in a massive air campaign

Ergo; Iran doesn't want that war
