https://www.youtube.com/live/w2DArpr8b8ANever heard of Bobby Jones - but he provides some very interesting information on our current situation in IRAN.
The video is approximately 51 minutes long, but filled with graphics, description of the Strait of Hormuz, ships, and the possible strategies of the current players.
Mr. Jones speculates that Trump will TACO - but unfortunately Trump does not get the chance to end the conflict.
He discusses the Arab States and how they are responding and what their future strategies might be or rather positions as it relates to the West.
Basically he states Trump started a war of choice without a plan, understanding of the culture or Iran, and without an exit plan. He states the exit ramp we have already passed. It is worth the 51 minutes in my opinion. In those minutes I received not only a history lesson but a military lesson on naval warfare.
I would say enjoy, but it might be better to say - something to learn from and think about.

Trump really fucked up this time. And shame on all his enablers who could have stopped this fiasco. What now, Republicans? Its your mess and your move. You just gonna sit there with your heads up Trumps ass while he craters our economy and ruins our standing in the world?

That the Military tried to talk him out of this misadventure - but Trump knows more than all the Generals. If you can watch the video...heartbreaking, what Trump has done in our name.
