You must be the only person in the world who thinks the "strategy is clear". Not even other Republicans agree with you.

Your claims are not what Trump said. He has claimed it was about regime change, then about an uprising, then about the nuclear program (though it was apparently destroyed forever during the previous war, it must have magically rebuilt itself), then about opening the strait (which was open before the war), then about blockading it, then about who knows what. The man can't keep his story straight and keeps flip-flopping about this. Meanwhile, there are real hints it's Israel leading the US into wars it doesn't want but there's no backing down now.

Just the fact the US wasn't able to foresee the closure of the Hormuz Strait, or at least effectively handle it without turning it into a major crisis, is evidence enough there was no strategy.

The US can very well destroy Iran, at great cost, and this isn't in doubt. But so far there's one country completely humiliated by this war, and it's not Iran.

> Same strategy that has already realigned Syria and Venezuela with U.S. interests, and that will soon take Cuba too.

Syria is more or less a failed country and the strategy was different anyway (and the world still doesn't completely understand the fallout from that collapse). Venezuela's regime didn't fall (they were humiliated into cooperation with the US while keeping their political structure intact; that war has a similarity with the current one in that Trump couldn't make up his mind, was it about freedom and democracy, about drugs, or about oil? Or maybe about getting a Nobel Peace Prize?). Cuba is a completely different case which has nothing to do with Iran (or do you think Cuba is months away from having nukes?).

I mean, come on, try not to be a cartoon hawk.
