The US Navy is bigger than all the other navies combined. Throwing in a few ships would add exactly 5% firepower, but 100% of the losses. Trump does not want to smudge the paint on his ships. It is impossible to defend against guerrilla tactics in that narrow straight, and no navy has done anything about drones and missiles.
So, after beating everybody up, he threatens to beat them up more, unless they agree to a very severe beating. This is funny.
ps Iran has basically pressed 'The Big Red Button'. All the crazies go underground to conduct irregular war, and only human shields are on the top. There is nothing and no one to negotiate with. We will have to give up on that oil for a while. The US should just shut up everything. Certainly not just letting Iran boats through for China.
ps the only peaceful turn-around was Nelson Mandela, who was a saint, and basically said, okay we won't kill you all. And he was believed, and a peaceful power change. If Trump said that, he wouldn't be believed, but he wouldn't say it. He'd say "I'll kill you all." And his clown men with big shoes would say "No quarter", which means 'kill you all'. The worst is, of course, he just had a pop gun and big shoes. A big freak-out when some human shield girls get killed, when the course of Isralie action is to kill everybody.
ps Neat headline: Iran Becomes the Gaza Strip
