"If you are going to be hated and a target forever just as well be in some control of the situation to even a lesser degree rather than know your enemy will be charging a toll and making money from ships which pass through. As the President said, the USA don't need that oil, and the scarcity makes USA oil more valuable too, so counteracts the world price rises to US citizens somewhat."
Hated for what they do, not for who they are.
"Add the fact that the USA is deemed to be the safest place to be in a WW then the dollar rises as people buy such, so, as with the last WW the US will come out with better living standards and as President Trump said, we can buy oil from them, but at what price, for he never said he would make the world great, just America."
Bad news, nukes can reach the US too, no place will be safe. We are no longer playing with sticks.
"I can't imagine President Trump will wish to lose face, despite him having more than one, so doubt this is over, and feel the rally is based on false hope and expect he is planning with other ME countries to invade and then hope that many Iranians unhappy with the current leadership will then, and only then have the weapons and guts to revolt."
How do we know Iranians are unhappy? By speaking to the diaspora? Those that fled with the Shah and wealth, no one speaks to the actual real Iranians living in Iran. I'm not happy with the UK government, should we bomb them too or is that too absurd for you?
One last point, Brexit, whether you like it or not was to destroy the EU as a direct competitor to the US, Blowing up Nordstream was to further destroy and weaken Europe, but some on here will still think the the US will help us, god you people need help.
The US government wants to rule the world, luckily we have China and Russia that will hopefully prevent that. Balance is what is required, not total control by one entity over every single human on the planet. The US government could care less about it's own people, you think they would care about you?
A country founded from genocide, actually make that two, the US and 'Israel'
