Why would force matter? They are not doing it and the oil needs to move, so we are. If we secure the strait, we should charge them.

This formulation elides the important fact that traffic flowed through the strait unobstructed until the governments of the United States and Israel began striking Iran without a plan for securing the strait (per the WSJ, the president disregarded Gen. Caine's warning that Iran would - as everyone in the administration should have known - close the strait in response to our attack).

That doesn’t change the reality that those countries need it open and are doing next to nothing to assist. So if it is to be secured with our money, they should be charged.

You disagree?

The war of choice our government initiated in partnership with the government of Israel is the proximate cause of the strait's closure. Since we broke it, the cost of fixing it is ours to bear.

However that may be, though, I don't believe it's in our country's interest to occupy the strait and to militarily control access through it, which would be the necessary condition for taxing Chinese and European traffic through it.

You’re denying Iranians agency. They chose to shut the strait down. Surely you don’t blame us for Iran attacking a civilian airport in azerbaijan too? Their action are their own.

If that’s what is needed to open it, I’m not opposed, but if so we should charge both heavily

Cornering a rat and then getting upset at the rat for biting your children who happen to already be in the corner.

That’s an absolute absurd take. They have agency. If they decide to attack civilian airports in a country that’s not even remotely involved in this war, that’s solely on them.

Y’all’s desire in here to blame the US for all things is wild.

How pathetically brainwashed does someone have to be to blame the US for Iranians attacking a third party civilian airport with no US presence?

Some in here are beyond lost.
