Q: How feasible or not is a mission to escort ships in the strait and de-mine it? What are the challenges and dangers of that?

A: Well, first of all, it’s very feasible. The United States Navy has a history of doing this kind of stuff, and they have, for the most part, all the resources that are required for this.

For the most part, we have all the resources that we need for that. As I mentioned, it might be helpful to get some additional resources from our international partners. And I’m not sure that’s going to happen based on some of the politics around all that and how we engaged and not engaged them in the lead up to this. But the United States Navy and Marine Corps and other joint services are, I think, are fully prepared to do that.

Understatement of the century, nice dodge I guess but yeah this is an illegal, awful war that the US and Israel chose, there is no debate let me be clear.

This guy isn't bluffing about the strength of the Navy and Marines here though, that is just the reality of it. I really don't think the international community understands that.

Don't fall into a trap of assuming this won't work militarily just because it is an awful, heinous plan politically and ethically.
