Will the U.S. Navy Have Its Own Yangtze Incident?
What if Iran Let’s Its Proxies Fire At Will in the Red Sea?
If you watch Mark Felton’s series on the Yangtze Incident you’ll forget to come back. So please click on the link after I set today’s scene. I will explain why the United States might be in a similar situation to Britain in 1949 when it sails the Red Sea or Straight of Hormuz in 2024.
The Basics: There are many reasons the U.S. won’t attack Iran directly. 1) It’s a mountainous country with tens of thousands of ballistic missiles and drones safely hidden underground. Missiles they’ve improved to the point that they can reach most U.S. bases (if not New York City); in short, a ground invasion is out. 2) Destroying Iran’s oil infrastructure would cut China off from oil. They’d ultimately respond as Japan responded when we cut off their oil supply in the 1941. 3) Russia would love to bleed off the U.S. military in the middle east, pulling resources away from Ukraine.
The question is how well can an Iranian proxy do against the U.S. if Iran goes all in?
Israel, once a buffer between the U.S. and Iran is now in full self-destruction mode. (Worse — dark irony — it’s dragging the U.S. into a Middle East war.)
