Our self-interest is that Trump gets recked in the Mid-terms so that all the tariff and war madness gets a degree of oversight and setbacks. Reason number one to just let this play out. This will lead to worldwide economic downturn, but an unhinged and unchecked Trump for a further 2/3 years would be even worse for us.

Secondly the Hormuz Strait is not able to be controlled without boots on the ground in Iran. We did not start this war and we should not participate in it in any way.

Instead of participating in the folly, we should use the financial and personal resources to dampen the impact on the economy and speeding up our path to energy independence.

It would be quite foolish yet no less unsurprising for the English to take the bait here. They’ve been cannon fodder for the US since the 80s.
