If Iran is smart, and the military pundits are correct, Iran will close the Straits of Hormuz. Now the cult members will say so what? Approximately between 20 to 30% of the world's oil travels through the Straits of Hormuz. 80% of that goes to China, India, and Japan. First off, the price of oil will undoubtedly rise in the short term, that's a given. The most concerning thing is that you have now pissed off the two countries that have the largest standing armies in the world, China and India are 1 and 2 respectively. You have also caused economic harm to a major ally, Japan. How would the U, S. respond if China sends its navy at Taiwan, another U.S. ally? By killing the religious and governmental leader of Iran, the U.S. has made him a martyr in Iran. If China responds, what will Trump do? They could call in the U.S. debt, causing interest rates to skyrocket, and devaluing the dollar. I fear nothing good will come of this, but worse than that, i feel this was just another distraction by Trump to take people's minds off what he has done here in the U.S.A.
Sincerely, Silent One
