Trump Lost the Cold War to Russia Last Week [View all]
When their proxy shut the Straights of Hormuz.
That's what struck me last night. Back in the 1980's if you were anywhere around National Security (I was a student) you knew the US fears of Russia physically taking over the Gulf region. US security was centered around preventing what just happened: a Russian ally/proxy closed the Gulf to all shipping.
We may not know it's Game Over yet as a nation, but that's what it is.
