Strait of Hormuz standoff exposes limits of US influence: Analyst​

The standoff in the Strait of Hormuz is putting US influence to the test as Iran’s control of the strategic waterway continues to disrupt global shipping and raise oil prices.

Musgrave tells Al Jazeera that the administration of US President Donald Trump has lost much of its leverage in the region.

“I would say that they have torched a good deal of what they had going in… Japan, South Korea, France, and the UK all, at best, are saying they are going to consider possibly sending some ships. That is really a blow to the Trump administration’s belief that America is naturally a leader,” he said.

He added that the US is engaged in the wrong conflict at the wrong moment, without proper planning.

On Iran’s strategy, Musgrave said that the calculations from the Iranians right now seem to be “not who has a bigger bomb or bigger munitions, but who has the highest threshold for pain.”

Israel-US entering ‘third stage of escalation trap’ with Iran gaining power


US political scientist Robert Pape says the Israel-Iran war may be entering a dangerous new phase that could turn the conflict into a prolonged struggle.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, the University of Chicago professor said the war is now reaching what he calls “the third stage of what I call the escalation trap”.

According to Pape, the opening phase was built on the belief that the Iranian leadership could be quickly weakened. “Stage one was the idea that we could knock out the regime quickly, decisively in just a few days,” he said.

But he argued that Iran has instead adapted and continued its attacks.


“Stage two is Iran strikes back. … Now they’re more powerful than they were before the bombs fell.”

Pape warned the conflict may now stretch into a long war in which Israel and its allies face ammunition constraints. He added that Tehran’s strategy could focus on sustaining pressure over time rather than overwhelming attacks.

Trump could be forced back to the negotiating table because the Iranians might have more tolerance for a protracted war than the American public.

Of course they do

And the worst part of it is that everyone knows that and has known it for years.

The Russians learned it in Afghanistan then we learned it there and in Iraq.

The people of that region don't care. They're just happy if they wake up alive every morning and especially if they're alive and not rotting in some torture dungeon.

The fat orange slob should have known it, too.
 
My guys are saying that taking control would make a lot of bodies, to not do it means likely global depression....likely with famine....just as Yon has been long talking about.

There will also be social chaos all through the dying West.
