Are Republicans that spineless that they can’t see the writing on the wall?
Houthis are now involved, this conflict inevitably spreads to the Red Sea choking off more of the supply chain and leading to a massive global recession.
Why do we have to wait for all that pan out when Republicans could vote against this escalation?

So they take Kharg island, and then?… Just sit there in missile range? Can’t get any oil out from it without the strait open.

What is the point of taking Kharg Island? Doing so can be used to choke off Iranian oil export, yes. It is not like all Iran’s oil exists at Kharg Island, it is just a terminal for export. The actual oil flows there via pipes from inland fields.

Pretty much an impossible mission, reminds me of D-day on a smaller scale.
