We know how sensitive Mr. Trump is to his public perception. This community is for collecting good depictions that distort his image into accuracy, so that they may spread further.

Theres something going on deeper with the straight. The US had to have known this would be a possibility. Did they think the navy would just be able to secure it? Did they think the world would all jump in to defend it because it affects them? Was trying to draw the battle lines the underlying point? I refuse to believe they wouldnt have seen this coming and the affects it could have. I think the outcome is much different than they thought and now the negotiations are hard. I do believe, however, they didnt think there would be negotiations. Bombs and missles arent as effective as we thought against a strong nation that has been preparing for this since the Iraq war.
With Trump and his dumb asf cronies at the wheel, it may well be that they simply thought they could strongarm Iran into making a new nuclear deal with Trump's rubber stamp on it, but lacked the ability to see any consequences beyond that. Because, y'know, it's Trump, and any responsible adults in the room left during his first term.
