Any action in the Straits of Hormuz...Good analysis. Any action in the Straits of Hormuz would likely skyrocket oil prices, which would affect China and Japan. I don't think they'll take kindly to this to say the least.<br />Do China and Russia still have troops on the ground in Syria?<br />Also, would Russia stand idly by and allow the US-Saudi-Israeli coalition free reign? Say if Russia sent an air convoy with reload SAMs and replacement radars, what would happen then?<br />As Vietnam, Iraq, Serbia, Libya have all proved, "bombing them back to the stone age" doesn't win you a war, it merely provides profits for arms manufacturers in replacing used weapons, and creates a totally antagonistic populace. The only purpose of neo-liberal assaults on nations is to open up their nation for markets and privatisation, but for that to work you have to occupy the nation after you've wrecked it. <br /><br />Mobilsing the entire US army to do a land campaign would destroy the US economy, the Saudi army can't fight for toffee, and I can't imagine Israel creating an overseas expeditionary force to help pacify the place for the next 30 years. The neo-cons might be better waiting for climate change to kill or evict all the Iranians (and Saudis and Iraqis for that matter) and send in their drone controlled 60*C proofed autonomous drilling and mining machines into the empty spaces instead.Sultanbevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883575975218982962noreply@blogger.com
