George H.W. Bush went to war when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and threatened the House of Saud.
Would Barack Hussein Obama go to war if Iran invaded Kuwait, Bahrain and the Emirates? Would Bibi?
Closing Hormuz and threatening the Saudis would bring oil to $200 a barrel. The mullahs’ economic problem is solved. No one with the capability to hurt Iran would do so. They’d automatically be a superpower.
OTOH- what does it say that US ships are operating in such close proximity in the Straits that they run into each other?
