Well…it appears that the idiot trump and his cronies were told by his generals that Iran would close the Straight of Hormuz but he ignored them and went with his unqualified cronies who told idiot boy what he wanted to hear…that Iran would fold after any attack and there would be no effect on oil prices since it would be a short war…and every damn time the idiot’s “gut” is wrong and he is making decisions based on wishful thinking, not on facts…and now he has given up on reopening the Straight and is asking allies to escort ships through it…and our allies told him basically to go to hell…that he started this mess and it’s the US’s job to clean it up…and here’s a kicker…he lowered sanctions on Russian oil so now he is giving Russia more money to give to Iran so Iran can keep fighting…how stupid is that? Pretty damn stupid if you ask me…geez…
