A dramatic showdown at sea. Crossed communication signals. Apparently-hostile craft nearby. Sketchy intelligence leading to ratcheted up rhetoric.
The similarities between this week's confrontation between US warships and Iranian speedboats and events off the coast of North Vietnam 44 years ago were too hard for many experts to miss, leading to the question: Is the Strait of Hormuz 2008's Gulf of Tonkin?"
-if the straight of hormuz is shut down due to war the price of oil will skyrocket resulting in a global economic crisis. everything is based one way or another on the cost of oil. electric, gasoline, milk anything delivered with gasoline will skyrocket. -st0ckman
