Be interesting to see if they are crazy enough to try it. Sure don't need any higher prices at the pump.
Agreed.

If they attempt to go toe-to-toe with the US Navy, they're dumber than I thought. The guerrilla warfare and insurgency on the ground is one thing, but Navy-to-Navy, my money is on the stars and stripes. I think we could have tankers flowing back through the strait in about an afternoon's time...and Mahmood Imanutjob wondering what happened to his fleet.
