https://www.youtube.com/live/w2DArpr8b8ANever heard of Bobby Jones - but he provides some very interesting information on our current situation in IRAN.
The video is approximately 51 minutes long, but filled with graphics, description of the Strait of Hormuz, ships, and the possible strategies of the current players.
Mr. Jones speculates that Trump will TACO - but unfortunately Trump does not get the chance to end the conflict.
He discusses the Arab States and how they are responding and what their future strategies might be or rather positions as it relates to the West.
Basically he states Trump started a war of choice without a plan, understanding of the culture or Iran, and without an exit plan. He states the exit ramp we have already passed. It is worth the 51 minutes in my opinion. In those minutes I received not only a history lesson but a military lesson on naval warfare.
I would say enjoy, but it might be better to say - something to learn from and think about.

(49,303 posts)Trump really fucked up this time. And shame on all his enablers who could have stopped this fiasco. What now, Republicans? Its your mess and your move. You just gonna sit there with your heads up Trumps ass while he craters our economy and ruins our standing in the world?

(5,109 posts)That the Military tried to talk him out of this misadventure - but Trump knows more than all the Generals. If you can watch the video...heartbreaking, what Trump has done in our name.

(879 posts)That was interesting and educational.
All "this is because you have one person who was able to fake his way through life and fail upward to the point now this has realworld implications for the entire planet. And he is overmatched.
He's overmatched and he put in place people that would make him feel good instead of doing good. And this is the cost. This is the cost. This is a microcosm of the administration. And what's going to happen is it's going to be his legacy.
It won't be Trump Tower. It won't be the casinos. It won't be the golf course. This right here is his legacy. And what's amazing to me Three possible outcomes of the war is nobody in his orbit is willing to tell him that. But it's too late now because the off-ramp does not exist. He destroyed it the second the Ayatollah Kamei died.

(5,109 posts)My SNL says that its a very good summary of where we are today. I am glad that you found it educational - take care. Gas is over $5.00 a gallon for premium here in Tacoma Wa, up 80 cents since his war of choice.
