Iran will just shut down the strait again if he doesn't.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 12 points 6 hours ago

The US could just leave and let them do that. The strait isn't even US territory

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 1 points 42 minutes ago

No, they couldn't do that, because the US economy would be in even more shambles. You are seriously misunderstanding the situation here, or is it just US copism?

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 36 minutes ago

Dunno, sounds like Americas problem. They started a war they can't win.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 23 points 5 hours ago

The world economy, including the US, depends on that strait.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 11 points 5 hours ago

Yes, you may see an economic downturn. Losing a war generally doesn't result in sunshine and rainbows.

Yes, and the US could just ignore that. It didn't stop them from starting the war in the first place, after all.

Dementia Don didn't think about the strait when he attacked and fired anybody in his admin that would have been against it.

[-] nulluser@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Right. That was basically their second sentence.

They’re paying massive amounts to keep the Strait open

Since this is a war of aggression on the part of the US, the US could just walk away from it.

Which contradicts this.
