The Strait of Hormuz: Is This War Worth the Risk?

[LevelUP]

So I see oil and gasoline prices rising, and I'm starting to wonder: what is the purpose of this Iran war?

Sure, Iran has done some bad things, but is this war actually making us any safer, or is it just creating a vendetta against the U.S.?

They want to attack Cuba because Cuba can't punch back, and I get that. Not that I agree with it, but I understand how they could attack Cuba and get away with it. 

Iran can't punch back directly, but they could close the Strait of Hormuz, which would shut down a large part of the world's energy markets and put us at the mercy of Iran.

This is becoming a big mess to clean up.

Well I’m sure defense companies, billionaire investors, and big oil producers see it differently.

So. Much. Winning!

What a shocker, establishment Dems and establishment Republicans came together in agreement to push an inept dementia victim claiming to be a "no new wars" President into yet another war, in sprite of the wishes of the voters. Who would have thought??
