Soooo just to be clear here with your argument:

The USA was doing something to guarantee that stuff can flow through it, then they start a war, now they can no longer guarantee this?

Did they suddenly loose the power to protect this flow?

Just because USA is war mongering, doesn't mean no one else would have stepped up or that it wouldn't be better without all of this involvment.

Everything I said was true : Bretton woods exists, and my opinion flows from that. Feel free to disregard it or correct the facts, I think that'd be a good discussion.

And yeah, USA might do dumb things that put them into a bind, but ultimately the peaceful flow of traffic through Hormuz is a goal worth pursuing for the world economic health.
