COMMON SENSE: The U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is working, and it will continue to work. There are reasons why this is such a timely strategy.

COMMON SENSE: In international politics, when considering the power position of the USA against our foes, the strength of NATO is always added to our side of the ledger, Japan, South Korea, Australia and a few other nations as well.
