Trump is now threatening to destroy Iran's power plants if the straight isn't reopened. Is this "doing the right thing"? And doesn't this show he cares more about oil prices than regime change?

But the most important question is, what's next? If depriving tens of millions of people of energy doesn't work, what will he do next?

One hypothesis is he'll threaten Iran with a nuclear strike. In response, either China or Russia or both, will say that's a line that cannot be crossed.

And then, we will either all die, or be living in a world saved by authoritarian regimes from the irresponsibility of the US.

It will be interesting! But probably extremely unpleasant.
