Trump’s fantasy of seizing the Strait of Hormuz for a ‘gusher’ of oil is a dangerous one https://t.co/bfv4SsfwEy My Take: open Strait. Surround our boats with NATO, Russian, Chinese, etc. ships. Our ships fly a different flag. Their missiles are not accurate - will be mistakes!

I think President Trump spoke what we have all been thinking for years. Its time these countries grow up and learn to defend themselves and what they have.

If they want their oil....go get it!
