I'm thinking he's growing frustrated exhausting angles to get the strait opened without committing ground forces, or the absolute minimum of specialized ground forces. Somewhere knowing how deceptively insurmountable this turned out to be. 

He's thinking his ultimate goal, his version of George H. W. Bush's NWO, or ending a terrorist-funding aggression that cannot stand, is not coming to fruition fast enough.

All hinges on taking away the one remaining bit of control Iran has left.. A Swath of water comparable to a great lake.

He wants the ships sailing and Iran reduced to the petulant antagonist that fucked up his Abraham Accords and is now groveling for its continued existence. 

And he's taken to saber rattling with the best of them.  He's really good at it. He nailed Robert Greene's Law Of Power #17.

But its a lot of show around a very simple chokepoint to this entire conflict ending. And it could drag on for months squabbling over fees, and an inability to thwart Iran's ability to do this without a more comprehensive military assault. 

It's doable to take the strait, but Iran's guerrilla-like tactics of $40,000 drones is like a sea version of jungle VC picking off soldiers, only targeting Western and Gulf ships. So many more mines now. There would be many casualties.  

Lets just hope the unhinged bipolar approach doesn't make him a paper tiger and ineffective... Cuz All China's important ships get to pass.

Wait till you see what the real reasons for the "Ceasefire" are.  Wait till you see the results.

Do3s it matter? It clearly didn't matter to Trump did it?

Did Trump?

President Trump is the Commander AND Chief of the armed forces of the USA, and he sure did take an oath.
I took a similar oath when I joined the service.
Neither has an expiration date.

Fun Fact: The oath a president takes is the only oath specifically prescribed in the Constitution for any federal office.

How well do you think the president is holding to that oath? 

Do you think he read the constitution?

Yes, but he is a draft dodger coward sending your military into harm's way.  Whilst insulting the memories of his allies military that gave their lives fighting alongside yours .

He couldn't give a monkey's for your Constitution.

I guess I just find it ironic he dodged the draft multiple times... Yet many are being called unpatriotic among other names for disagreeing with him getting us involved in a war many find needless.

As opposed to your 100% Liberal fantasies from random assholes on X?

Please point out any of them that have come true.

Which fantasy are you referring to

The one predicting the Strait would stay closed for longer than 2 days?

Or are you talking about the brainwashed MAGA cult fantasy that claims Trump won the war for the hundredth time

I know Trump is America first and I imagine he loves the constitution like it’s gold plated.
