fairly detailed rundown of strategy at the link
https://acoup.blog/2026/03/25/miscel...e-war-in-iran/I am going to spend the next however many words working through what I think are the strategic implications of where we are, but that is my broad thesis: for the United States this war was an unwise gamble on extremely long odds; the gamble (that the regime would collapse swiftly) has already failed and as a result locked in essentially nothing but negative outcomes. Even with the regime were to collapse in the coming weeks or suddenly sue for peace, every likely outcome leaves the United States in a meaningfully worse strategic position than when it started.
is Taiwan important?

They're gonna make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing actually. They gave us a present, and it arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I'm not gonna tell you what that present is but it was very significant prize
Great read. pretty much what I have been thinking. Thanks for the link.

Trump is cooked -- yesterday he said countries were lining up to help
Not the right leader for this situation

Do we need their help or not? You need to get off Trump's

Keaton WeissBlaming Israel for America's forever wars is bad history that feeds antisemitism and undermines the existentially important project of reforming U.S. foreign policy. The main problem is in Washington, not in Jerusalem or anywhere else. @ForeignPolicy
https://x.com/thatkeaton/status/2036...J518QWnxG7pQDgGetting really sick of this moronic argument.
Both things can be true:
1. America is a lawless, violent empire that commits heinous war crimes on the regular.
2. This particular Iran War is so suicidal and stupid that we could only be led into it by an irrational apocalyptic death cult, ie, the state of Israel.
To choose one explanation over the other is to obfuscate the fact that both are obviously true.
Do we need the straight open or do they need the straight open?
Fox News and TSA are overstating this joint statement, which includes a number of countries who have also declared US/Israel hostilities illegal, though they don't in the doc linked below. 30 countries want the fighting to stop and Hormuz to reopen. That's about it.
The statement could lead to a UN authorization of force, we'll see.
As for India escorting its own ships, I hope that works for them. Doesn't mean much for everyone else.

UK and France Forming Multinational Effort for Strait of Hormuz
Additional details are coming out on the reported plan being led by the UK’s Royal Navy and France to develop a multinational effort to provide stability and reassurance to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The UK’s plan is, according to a report in The Times (London), well developed and has been shared with the Americans, while Reuters reports France will be conducting a multinational video conference this week with a broad group of 30 allies.
The efforts are proceeding despite the public criticisms of Donald Trump, who last week called the allies “cowards” and said NATO was a “paper tiger.” The Times (London) reports the UK’s chief of the defense staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, briefed France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, and Canada on Sunday, while the UK also sent a team of military planners to meet with U.S. Central Command in Florida.

Looks like you are stumped I'll hold your hand.
Do we need the straight open or do they need the straight open?

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...war-rcna263912Inside Trump's daily video montage briefing on the Iran war
WASHINGTON — Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said.
The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”
The highlight reel of U.S. Central Command bombing Iranian equipment and military sites isn’t the only briefing Trump gets about the war. He’s also updated through conversations with top military and intelligence advisers, foreign leaders and news reports, the officials said.
But the video briefing is fueling concerns among some of Trump’s allies that he may not be receiving — or absorbing — the complete picture of the war, now in its fourth week, two of the current officials and the former official said.

There's no doubt the USA less exposed to the supply shock but we're not immune to it. If Taiwan has to ration electricity that has strategic implications for the USA and that's just processor chips
Republicans certainly aren't politically immune to inflation in an election year
Of course we need it open. Your Trump was a stupid that started this ed up mess. You proclaimed he obliterated their nuclear weapons months ago, what are we doing here?
Do you like this war? Yes or no. Don't run from this easy question.
OBLITERATED!!!**strait
We do.
Hope this helps.
