on Iran.
How much of this is due to the fact that those US military bases in
the Gulf states need much of their supplies to come via the Strait of
Hormuz, which Iran has shut down?
If you remember how Field Marshal Montgomery took down Erwin Rommel in
North Africa during World War II -- the German soldier was a master
strategist who left the Allies floundering. But his weakness lay in
his supply lines from the home country -- once those were cut off, he
had no option but to admit defeat.
Seems the USA suffers the same weakness. History keeps repeating,
doesnrCOt it?
