Anyway, it appears that the U.S. Navy is removing Iranian mines so that ships will be able to safely navigate the strait. If they are successful the Iranians will have to begin using missiles and drones to attack shipping in order to again close the strait, a step they may not be willing to take.

The Iranian regime needs to be removed. It won't be long before they attain the ability to hit American cities with ICBM'S.

Ok. My AI source only mentioned ICC Muslim charges for atrocities against Christians, other Muslims, and different tribes in areas away from Israel. Also Syria, but not for attacks on Jews.

Do you think us arming Iranian protestors was supposed to be secret?

Reporting by the NYT, Reuters, Axios, common sense, not wearing logic repellent, etc.

Those "sources" are hard-core anti-Trump. I wouldn't believe them if they told me what they ate for breakfast. It might be true that all of Trump’s military advisors told him that we would be unable to keep the strait open, but I certainly wouldn't take the word of the aforementioned parrots of the Democratic Party and neither should anyone else. 

You believe Reuters is a "parrot of the Democratic Party?" You're badly uninformed.

Reuters is filled with leftists.

It's one of the most respected news organizations in the world.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Neither common sense nor logic are anti-Trump. Even truth isn't anti-Trump. Certain things just are. Like a supernova in the dark night.

This is Trump trying for the easy win. These ships are  sitting ducks with Iranian missiles most likely trained on them waiting for the peace talks in Pakistan to break down and Israel to launch its next attack.

Trump needs to stop playing political tiddlywinks and trust his military commanders.

Every administration since 1979 has wanted Iran's regime removed but they also understood that Iran's geography trumps our technology, and it still does today.  

Can't just bomb them because then they'll close Hormuz.  You can't just destroy their navy and coastal assets because they'll just lob missiles and drones at tankers from a few hundred miles back.  You can't easily go after after these batteries with air power because they are mobile and the terrain is mountainous.  Can't get with them troops on the ground for the same reason.  All the mountains are also why you also can't just march on Tehran like we did Baghdad.  

This will be a net win for Iran.  They lost some some dudes, some civilians (they don't care), some gear that is already being replaced, and some infrastructure China will gladly help them rebuild. Most importantly, they reminded the world they can send all of us into a deep economic recession and there really isn't anything we can do about it.

China is shipping shoulder fired anti-aircraft systems to Iran.

If Russia and Ukraine reach an agreement we might expect Russia to start shipping weapons given how important Iran was to them with drones.

This aligns with any Iranian tankers going out to China. Xi has  nothing to lose with Hormuz being "closed." Trump needs to either blockade Iranian tankers leaving Hormuz or destroy all incoming land routes from China. Or both.

Reuters describing antifa as "anti-fascist" is about as radical and untrue a statement that one can make.

At the moment there is a tenuous cease fire and the U.S. Navy is clearing the strait of Iranian mines. If this endeavor succeeds the Iranians will have to reignite the war to again close the strait.

You're embarrassing yourself.  Might be best to move to a topic on which you can speak intelligently.

A respectful and honest discussion is obviously not in your wheelhouse.
