United States carrier tasks groups have recently entered the Persian Gulf. We are in others backyard and poking the locals in the eye with sharp sticks. The adult and mature members of these task forces will restrain our actions at all costs. That is if they are able. But if ordered to provoke action we may be in for a major shock.
Less mature and disciplined members of our teams could accidentally cause a provocative incident that would ignite a local cataclysm. All of which could be caused by mistake and because of the proximity of lethal forces.It could easily spread elsewhere. All of this could happen with the approval of the American public if our fleet is at the bottom of the Persian Gulf due to provoking the people we have trespassed upon.
Hopefully we will be saved from a proximity incident that could lead to a devastating world involved war. An annihilating one for sure.
