Things Come Undone

Notice North Korea is issuing more threats and China is making more noise over Taiwan, Iran’s allies are trying to close the Suez Canal. Everyone thinks Israel is trying to provoke a war with Iran.
Iran needs Israel to piss off enough oil producing Muslim countries to cut off World oil supplies, Russia I am sure will join them.
Without Fuel for a few months American Ships and planes will have a hard time getting to much less fighting Iran, North Korea and China at the same time.
Cut off our fuel, crash the world economy and stock market, then attack in several different places in the world at the same time stretch our forces too thin.
Either they do that or they accept US dominance of the world for a few generations.
Russia loses Iran, China and North Korea will need generations to create better weapons technology than NATO has now in all areas and to build enough to equip their armies.

I did not think it would start the next day.
Iran has defended its military's seizure of an oil tanker amid soaring tensions at sea in the Middle East, arguing that the move was legally justified as a result of the United States' earlier capture of the same vessel in line with Washington's sanctions policy.

The oil tanker is a Marshall Islands flagged ship Iran knows the Marshall Islands are not part of the US anymore? Regardless will US ships move into the Persian Gulf to free the oil tanker? If so this won’t go well
Millennium Challenge 2002 (MC02) was a major war game exercise conducted by the United States armed forces in mid-2002, likely the largest such exercise in history. The exercise, which ran from July 24 to August 15 and cost $250 million, involved both live exercises andcomputer simulations. MC02 was meant to be a test of future military “transformation“—a transition toward new technologies that enablenetwork-centric warfare and provide more powerful weaponry and tactics. The simulated combatants were the United States, referred to as “Blue”, and an unknown adversary in the Middle East, “Red”. www.dailykos.com/...
Red received an ultimatum from Blue, essentially a surrender document, demanding a response within 24 hours. Thus warned of Blue’s approach, Red used a fleet of small boats to determine the position of Blue’s fleet by the second day of the exercise. In a preemptive strike, Red launched a massive salvo of cruise missiles that overwhelmed the Blue forces’ electronic sensors and destroyed sixteen warships. This included one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of six amphibious ships. An equivalent success in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel. www.dailykos.com/...
If we send ships into or near the Persian Gulf Iranian anti ship missiles can swarm our Navy ship’s anti missile defenses with multiple missiles sent at the same time as Russia is now doing to Ukraine something I predicted.
The Millennium Challenge 2002 war games assume much slower silkworm missiles and that Iran would have to swarm our ships with multiple missiles to get past our defenses with the Sunburn maybe they would need only two missiles to take down our most armored ships.

The only bright spot is we have seen how Russian Missiles do as far real life combat conditions as far targeting goes in Ukraine.
