  • It’s shocking that the US actually engaged in war with Iran so readily without the administration considering the known scenario of the Straight of Hormuz being closed by Iran. I’m amazed by the lack of planning and logistics for something that should have been planned and discussed a good while beforehand, but I guess I shouldn’t be with this administration.

    There really need to be safeguards implemented to prevent actions like this from just being conducted on the turn of a dime without any awareness of others, discussion, etc. beforehand.

    I used to think that illegal actions of the US Executive Branch would just fail like getting a 403 error when trying to access a Web resource without proper authorization, but I guess this was naïve to think.

    There really need to be major changes in the US Government to make it so that the mechanisms of government won’t so willing put illegal actions into play. Though the response of the courts has often been good, it is super slow and merely reactive. Instead, impermissible, illegal actions need to be preempted before the mechanisms of government carry them out.
