Iran-U.S. Brinkmanship Over Oil Strait Worsens

Obama outta iraq into iran
"TEHRAN - A showdown between Iran and the United States over Tehran's threats to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers worsened Dec. 29 with warships from each side giving weight to an increasingly bellicose exchange of words.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards rejected a warning that the U.S. military would "not tolerate" such a closure, saying they would act decisively "to protect our vital interests."
The tough language came as Iran's navy said a U.S. aircraft carrier entered a zone where its ships and aircraft were in the middle of 10 days of wargames designed to be a show of military might."

I can't imagine anyone is going to stand for Iran blocking oil tankers coming out of there. Not sure what the end game here is. Seems like it would just piss everyone off for no good reason.

We may have to do a China and send thousands of drones to sink Iran's fleet.

Canada has legalized gay marriage and it produces oil. In fact, it is one of the world's largest stock piles of oil.

We are looking for an excuse, plans to keep the straights open have been in place for a long time and are constantly being updated.
I have laid out the plan here a few times.

We already have been freed in the form of government lobbyists and special interests controlling the conservatives. (Why else would we spend billions on jets that don't actually suit Canada's purpose?) But as long as they are only raping Conservatopia (Alberta) and the surrounding environment I guess that I'm ok with it. They are bringing it on themselves.
