Yes. The US could leave and let Iran do what ever it likes in the area. But Iran isn't likely to do anything to the US.

Except raise oil prices for US consumers and/or destroy the petrodollar.

Yeah shit happens when you lose a war. Deal with it.

[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

That happens even without wars.

They already were doing a lot to the US by keeping the strait closed. It seems like a lot of you are completely misinformed about what went down here. The US could not just pack up and leave, Trump wanted to do that several times throughout this process, but even he found out that that was not possible.

Sure it could. I think you're the one who's completely misinformed.

The USA can leave the strait at any time. It's not theirs.

Can the untrained dog choose not to grab the untended chicken breast off the counter?

Wasn't the strait open before this whole shitshow? America can live with its fuckup.
