The Pentagon is considering a more robust naval presence in the Middle East to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as gas and oil prices continue to rise, but any operation won’t commence for at least a month, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal, citing two U.S. officials, has said that the U.S. wants to reduce the threat from Iran before undertaking any escort operation, but that could take up to a month or more to accomplish, even as officials continue to downplay concerns over the strait and the impact its closure has had on global energy markets.
Who is the more foolish the fool or the fool who follows it.
Or in this case, is Trump more foolish for being a fool, or are the people more foolish for knowing this, and allowing it to continue?
The people have taken little action so far. They are just spectators, complaining on social media.
