If the U.S. ends the conflict with… A significantly degraded Iranian military A wounded and weakened but seriously pissed off regime with a more hardline leader in place And a stockpile of 60% enriched uranium and centrifuges in deeply buried tunnels You don’t have success. You have an Iran with the motive and means to get a nuclear weapon as quickly as possible.

There are still Hormuz truthers in my replies explaining to me that the strait is not really closed and that's just a lie I'm being fed by the finance industry and panicans.

As the saying goes wars are always settled with negotiations. The unconditional surrender only happens under total war and this is not even close to total war.
Philippe Lemoine@phl43

My reading of the situation is that the Iranians have memed themselves into believing they would eventually force the Israelis and Americans to beg for mercy due to a lack of interceptors, while the Americans have memed themselves into believing they could remove ~15-20% of the supply of oil, gas and various other products derived from them without causing a global economic meltdown at some point. I still think that the most likely outcome is that both sides will eventually wake up from their dream as reality hit them in the face and agree to return to something like the status quo ante which both sides will sell as a victory. The Iranians will get tired of being mercilessly pounded and realize that the Israelis aren't going to stop just because they can occasionally hit Tel Aviv with a missile, while eventually the economic consequences of the conflict will become clear and the pressure on Trump from voters pissed off by the price of gas, businessmen losing their customers, the Pentagon watching its supplies dwindle with no end in sight and allies whose economy is being raped will become unbearable, at which point Trump will seek to end the war, the Iranians will hopefully have been sufficiently pummeled to agree and Israel will have to do what Trump says.

Dear Mr. President, I’ve been thinking about this in the shower and I have a plan. The problem isn’t Iran. It’s the ship crews. These are my people. Merchant Mariners are an odd lot. “Show some guts” doesn’t work because these guys have crossed the North Atlantic in winter. They already know what they’ve got. We are a practical lot. Common sense, as you often say. So avenging our deaths by carpet bombing Iran, while a a generous token, doesn’t do much to motivate us. Dead is dead. You can’t collect on a life insurance policy if the underwriter at Lloyd’s has TDS, and most of them do. Plus those supertanker fires are nasty. Think AOC when she’s as old as Pelosi. Our phrase is Acta Non Verba. Actions, not words. So someone will have to sail through first. And it’s not enough to sail with AIS off under the cover of dark. Someone has to sail in broad daylight with an enormous American flag streaming over the stern. The biggest flag you’ve ever seen. Huge. It’s a show of flag exercise so we want something big. Step one: you need a Captain. Someone kinda well known. Handsome, ideally, a man of faith of course, debonair would be nice but we can work with what we’ve got. Here’s what I’ll do. I’m heading to the big CMA conference tomorrow and will recruit a crew. I’m a little rusty but a great crew can compensate for a lot of command failures. Ask any Admiral. My license needs to be renewed, and I’ll need someone to waive all those stupid classes the UN’s @IMOHQ wants me to take. Seven courses, Mr. President. To do the same job I’ve been doing for 30 years. Pete is a good judge of character, he can vouch for me. A note from the President to Admiral Lundy should do. Might be the fastest the Coast Guard has ever moved on anything. But I need a just a few small things in return. First, I need a SEAL team or equivalent. Just a small platoon but preferably one of those tier one guys if available. They can’t shoot down drones or anything, but they absolutely can tell me to man up when I inevitably say “WTF was I thinking.” Pete, if you’re reading this, feel free to send your best. I promise I will not make them sit through a PowerPoint. Also, I fully expect at least one Admiral in charge of the convoy frigates to do something dumb…. like epic level retarded… and SEALs are historically very good at straightening out Admirals. Consider it an interservice relations exercise. Next, we need some of those Navy Corpsmen. The crazy bastards who embed with Marines. If we get hit and my leg needs amputation, I want it done by a guy who’s done it before, not a guy who’s got s rusty saw and an ikea manual. That’s it. You don’t even need to pay me or my crew a cent. Honestly, this might be the best deal ever, and I know you’ve seen some deals. Oh, just one more thing. We want the same deal y’all gave Bruce Willis’s crew in Armageddon. No more federal taxes. For life. You’ve seen the movie, sir. That scene is basically a documentary about how to negotiate with the federal government. And if I don’t make it? I want to be buried next to Dad in Arlington, and my kids and wife get the no-taxes-ever thing. That’s the Captain Konrad family plan. Very competitive rates. Lastly, we’re going to need a few ships to follow us into Hormuz. Probably no more than ten. I suggest Filipino-crewed ships. They are the best mariners in the world, they are tough as hell, and they will not complain too much. Actually all mariners complain but I’ll have them do that part in tagalog. For the first ten ships that volunteer to follow me through, each crew gets one of your Golden Visas (brilliant idea, by the way) and a pork adobo cookout at the White House on a date of your choosing. I’ll even get one of the guys to send you the recipe. It’s delicious. Trust me. That’s about it. Just let me know what airport I should meet the jet at tomorrow afternoon. Very Best Regards, Captain John Konrad Master, Unlimited Tonnage US Merchant Marine
