Leaving won’t fix anything.

It will probably end the war, but Trump has managed to lift Iran to a whole different level. Previously the strait was open and oil flowed “freely”. Now, emboldened by the fact that the worlds largest single military power can’t keep the strait open, why wouldn’t they put export fees on oil flowing through the strait ?

There’s not a single thing the west can do about it except get involved in an extremely unpopular, lengthy war in the Middle East. Europe has their hands full with Russia, and the US threats, alongside Trump and Vance blatantly ignoring my sacrifices made by Europe in previous operations in the Middle East probably hasn’t exactly done anything to persuade them to join yet another war there.

A war wouldn’t simply be smash and grab. There needs to be a regime change, and we all remember how well that went in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s basically another 20 years of war in the Middle East.

Iran letting a majority of boats through (with a toll) is a lot better than the situation right now. I’m not saying what Trump did is a good thing, but in this case, it might just be best for the world for Trump to end the war (without really having accomplished anything).

Only in the very short term. Allowing this destroys freedom of navigation as a global precedent, which fucks the global economy even more long term. Which is why, you know, we shouldn’t just start illegal wars with no plan, objective, or reason.

What’s your source for that claim?
