now Piggy is going to cut and run while leaving the straight of H to others. That effing fool is pissed cuz he unilaterally started a war with NO buy in from anyone. Now, he is pissed cuz they won't bail his ass out. What an idiot. What country in their right mind would help him clear the strait. Nothing better than consistency Donnie. Cutting and running will get you $150 Oil, easy.

"When we leave the strait will automatically open," President Trump has told the New York Post Tuesday, when asked whether he's considering ending action in Iran without reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
"Well, I think it'll automatically open, but my attitude is, I've obliterated the country. They have no strength left, and let the countries that are using the strait, let them go and open it… because I would imagine whoever's controlling the oil will be very happy to open the strait," Trump continued. "But we won't have to be there much longer - but we have more work to do in terms of killing their offensive, whatever offensive capability they have left."
AntiWar.com's Dave DeCamp points out a certain circular reasoning and sad reality of where the situation
stands:
"The goal of the war has become fixing a problem that didn't exist before the war.
"Poof. Just like that. It's going to open by itself, like magic.
"France has reportedly refused to allow the United States to use its airspace to transport weapons for the Iran conflict -marking the first such denial since the war began, according to Reuters. This follows a similar move by Spain, signaling growing reluctance and angst among key European allies to facilitate US military logistics. At the same time,
Italy has denied certain US aircraft access to an airbase in Sicily,"
As far as win, it's not a win. As I said earlier, there is no strategic win here. The only win was not to play.
