DU posters are not political strategists either, or any kind of strategists.

Strange times, those were. We're living in strange times once again...
True, but probably not for the reasons you think.

If you put yourself in the shoes of the men who've been through war college, one resounding conclusion since Vietnam and possibly Korea is that one stripe of homo or another has prevented the US from doing what it must to win a war. I do not know what they teach there, but it has to be one of the constraints they deal with. There may even be courses like, "Creating Strategy in the Midst of Overwhelming Oppositional Faggotpower" or "Methods of Traversing Unstable Terrain With Heavy Armor and Faggots Chirping Around You."
So it must be refreshing to be told to do what it takes to win, and do so in such a decisive manner that Moscow and Beijing know what they'd be up against. Also good to get some experience with coordinating complex battle plans in the modern theater, which has advanced materially since even Iraq. It certainly appears that our adversaries are much better at waging digital propaganda campaigns than actual war. "Oh, you done ****ed up now, we're going to start shooting the GOOD missiles" works well on floors of sorority chicks at Oberlin, and not as well against a sortie of F-22s.
Amen

I reckon that part of this is so that the military can prosecute a winnable war, which means they have to do things that win wars without the second-guessing of CNN and MSNBC faggots. The Admin seems content to let the Marxist European/Middle East media say whatever they want, and it's being lapped up by American morons.
That's why there isn't a lot of clarity around Hormuz, but the Pentagon has been gaming this out for decades, even during Shitty Joe's admin. My guess is that it's an area of risk to be managed, and to the extent that Iran has no Navy, it can't do shit about Hormuz. Also with the assets that are in the area, we can swat away anything they put in the area. My other guess is that Iran COULD make the Strait difficult or impossible to navigate by way of putting junk in it, but that doesn't seem plausible.
There is another possibility, given Trump: HE may be the one squelching traffic in the Strait to let China twist just a little. If that's the case, which I don't put past Trump at all, what's Iran going to do? "Oh hey, guys, we are too weak and pussified to control the one asset we have left. Sorry!" They will posture all they want, and that's the one thing you can do when you're ducking missiles and bunker busters. Evidence to support that hypothesis is that Trump doesn't particularly care about short-term swings in oil or gas prices.
What I find fascinating about the ****ing mouthbreathers at DU is as pragmatic and intellectual as they think they are, they commit the grave sin of badly underestimating their enemies. This makes them easy to exploit and confuse, which is what we are seeing now.

MM really thinks Iran has the capability to attack the US?
