Europe, including many NATO nations, is denying use of their airspace and the bases we've been using in their territory.
While this is their right, I don't think they've thought this through.
I mentioned before that if no oil is shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, we're not really affected if we decline to sell our petroleum on the world market.
We're even less affected if we pull our Navy back to our side of the pond and prevent oil from leaving the Americas for parts ungrateful.

Something they really haven't considered is: "What if WE close the strait?"
What are they gonna do about that?
Send their navies? Send their air forces?
They sure aren't sending their armies, they need our airlift to do that.
The US didn't close the Strait, Iran did. Go talk to Iran. Tell them you did everything possible to annoy the US. Send the mullahs a pallet of money, a billion or two of Euros should do.
ReplyDeleteJust remember the Arab states in the Gulf support the US and Israel. They may not be happy with you and your Iranian buddies.
