    I highly doubt the US military would funnel an invasion force through the strait.

    Your talking about people who were stupid enough to start a war with Iran, so steaming full bore into a meat grinder would seem par for the course. Trump probably figures if USans see their sailor boys getting massacred, they’ll suddenly rally in support.

      Trump might be a raving lunatic, but his generals still call the shots with logistics and deployments, and I highly doubt a trained officer would be stupid enough to authorize a convoy steam full bore through the strait.

      Even a blind sycophant knows that would sink their entire career.

      His general staff would probably wave a few buzzwords praising trump in a shiny PowerPoint briefing with lots of pictures to distract the dumbass, and trump would nod along and agree.
