if that crazy SOB sinks a couple of big tankers in the Straits, it’s not going to defeat the US Navy, but it sure as hell is going to put a crimp in Exxon’s business model.
At the time in our history we are least capable of addressing a full scale war; I see one as unavoidable.
Every “major” surface combatant in the Iranian “Navy” could be sunk in a couple of hours. The ChrisCraft Armada might be more of an issue. Interesting plan to work through.
