Most retarded thing I’ve read all day.

You say defeat but base it on what, your definition of defeat? It’s not clearly defined first of all.

Anusar simply sounds like a conspiracy theorist. He can’t simply accept any official U.S. communication at face value and claims literally everything is a cover up. He makes bold claims that aren’t proven and are unverified and unsourced like the destruction of all U.S. bases in the region but attempts to pass them as absolute facts with no credible sourcing.

Anusar either despises Donald Trump or is simply an Iranian sympathizer.

Are you in denial?

This was so comprehensively explained it makes me question if you read it at all? It was outlined in very clear and unambiguous terms. Whether you want it to be true or not true the argument is extraordinarily sound and objectively correct. Which part of it did you take issue with? I enjoyed the read. It was completely unbiased. Just the facts in context of game theory. What more could you want?

this analysis is completely off base as to what is happening. It's a naval blockade of a country almost completely dependent on oil for its government revenue. With only remnants of an already unpopular government, how long until the economic pressure forces change? Meanwhile, strategically the US benefits by illustrating its control over oil flows to the Chinese, and by redirecting global purchase patterns towards US production.

Not all countries make money a god.

inflation in Iran and a poor economy have been a major issue for the people in recent years, so not sure it's about money being deified as much as people having food, shelter and jobs. Oil is 20-25% of their economy.

This is just the sort of fraudulent slop that DOJ is looking for.

This is the only interpretation of events that makes sense.

Would Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz accelerate the world transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy?

Does the world transitioning faster from fossil fuels to renewable energy help Iran? Is that Iran's endgame?

How does Iran compare to other Gulf nations as far as being economically ready for the day when renewable energy surpasses fossil fuels?
