@ImtiazMadmood How? The U.S. failed to take full physical control of Hormuz - the only strategic point that matters in a war with Iran. Whoever controls Hormuz wins the war. Iran controls it…thus regardless of whatever else happens in the war, they win. Trump was strategically ignorant.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@larrybehrens @ChuckCallesto Achieve physical control of Hormuz at the start of the war, the price never increases in the first place. American energy dominance is not the issue in prices - it is a world wide market - the lack of an effective (or even passable) war strategy is.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@DrShawn_Gersman @GOPIsrael Trump failed at the outset by failing to secure physical control of Hormuz as his first action - regardless of cost of doing so. He could only win the war by doing so. It is the only decisive strategic point in the entire theater. You hold Hormuz you win, you don’t you lose.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@crewsin1234 @GOPIsrael He totally F’d it up. His only concern at the outset should have been securing physical control over Hormuz. The IRGC would have collapsed and world markets secured and free of threat and sabotage. An historic strategic error.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@GOPIsrael #3 is the full truth. American voters are fickle and American society is difficult to function in - a lot of pressures and the need for money and lower costs has become extreme. America also has too many elections that come too often. Long term strategic planning is impossible.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@siaxares This is really about gas prices and the midterms. A strong percentage of American voters care less about death and destruction in the Middle East than they do about the anthill in their backyard. The unfathomable strategic error of not securing Hormuz at the outset brought this.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@ForgiatoBlow47 Even the Rape Gangs would avoid that.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@Hunter_Eagleman Now if only they’d figured out that they needed to control Hormuz physically in order to win the war with the IRGC.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@laralogan …or ever will be. The game is not what we get to see.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@Rothmus It’s less complicated than that. They want us dead. By our own hand is preferable.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@the_hoch @hahussain The price of gas in the U.S. is entirely determined by the global market for crude oil. We may not get one drop through Hormuz - but nevertheless the price we pay at the pump is dictated by the flow through Hormuz. This war could not be won w/o controlling Hormuz.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@ComputerSageJAB @hahussain This is why you don’t go to war - if the cost is too high. No war against the IRGC could be successful w/o controlling Hormuz fully. That requires boots on the ground. If that cost is too high, don’t start the war. Trump is not a strategic thinker and he loves bluffing.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@hahussain It is one of the greatest strategic errors in all history -stupid beyond all comprehension- that the first act of the war was not to secure full physical control of Hormuz. This lost the war at the outset. Tried to win cheaply and lost badly…of course.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@Ofer_binshtok Israel should develop its own jets…in fact, I’d recommend that Israel immediately begin amassing a stockpile of thousands of nukes, ready to launch on a moment’s notice. They will be needed sooner rather than later.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@MsAvaArmstrong There are as many Americans that are enemies of America as there are Americans that support America.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@lucythegreat123 Yes, we lost. We tried to win cheap. The only way to defeat the IRGC was to take and hold physical control of Hormuz at the outset. Who controls Hormuz wins the war. It is the single strategic crux. Requires boots on the ground. It was all another Trump bluff…that was called.

@Osint613 JD Vance: if you can’t beat Iran…join them

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@GBNT1952 JD Vance: if you can’t beat Iran…join them.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@MOSSADil Trump and Vance: if you can’t beat Iran…join them.

[Scott @Hamishdad]

@AnamaMOSS Nope. Great choice, either the Democrats destroy the country or Vance lets Islamists with money wipe out the source of Western Civilization. He can suck it. If he’s the nominee, I sit out elections forever.
