I feel like the other wars usually had some kind of plan

Just a quick update

We recently lost an airplane that would cost $700 million to replace. It was left out in the open.

The Iranians probably got help from the Russians in locating it. Trump’s been doing favor for the Russians, including letting them sell the oil again, so that’s certainly disappointing, though not surprising since they are our enemies, duh!

The Iranians are also making more money off oil than they did before the war

And, now the Houthi are attempting to create another choke point at the entrance to the Red Sea.

And the worst part is, a bunch of American soldiers are now about to be put in harm’s way.

Oh and Rob Schneider wants a draft

Perhaps Schneider will volunteer to be the first person off the first landing craft in Iran.

The problem is I don't see a way out outside of a massive escalation.

As long as Iran can threaten the strait, nothing will resolve. That's even more problematic than a nuclear program we can occasionally bomb.

Outside of regime change, how does that occur?

Agree. It's all bombs or nothing inside Iran. If it removes nukes go for it.

And the strait will follow.
