    No matter what Trump does, it won’t put the strait back in the status (in terms of freedom of navigation) it was in before Trump attacked. Iran fully controls it now and can impose whatever restrictions it wants, and there is nothing the US can do about it.

    To be clear, packing up and going home is absolutely the correct thing to do, regardless. But even that is not “a way out” of the consequences because there is no “way out” of the consequences. Trump’s damage is permanent and unfixable.
