Trump is way deep into the belief that you can control a country by taking over its oil resources. He took over Venezuela this way. Cuba is on the ropes. Now he’s going after Iran’s main oil terminal.

He is correct on that assumption, IMHO. It is almost impossible for any country to survive for any length of time without oil, and their ability to wage war goes to zero almost overnight.

Silly assessment, you say this as if there is no evidence of much deeper strategic thinking from this administration.

Product of a constant liberal media propaganda feed.

Finally we have a President who not only gets it, but has the guts to act on it.

Turns out winning stomachs just as powerful as winning hearts and minds. No energy no food no iran. They’ll get the message or die. They have about a week left then it’s hanging time. It about to get ugly for rank and file members of the regime. Mossad knows iran better then iran knows iran. President Trump made this happen God bless him

” Now he’s going after Iran’s main oil terminal.”

I don’t think we’ll see US troops on Kargh...at least until/unless regime change. The risk to them is too high.

But we might see them in Bandar Abbas.
