Sorry I thought “trump is a coward for not doubling down and doing a ground invasion” was too stupid of a position to take. I assumed they were saying he chickened out of today’s deadline to open the strait.
It is, the right position is he should have never started it the first place. Now he’ll scream victory and leave. Only costed millions, if not billions, of dollars and thousands of lives. Such success

The cost is estimated to be 500 mil per day with $31 billion spent on the five weeks of bombing seen so far.
That doesn’t include any damages, which are significantly higher
Infrastructure repair around the gulf, hundred billion range, more if bombing continues.
A few trillion in economic damages around the world probably.
Reputational damages to the USA resulting in less trade, borrowing costs, etc. is up to a trillion per year in the coming years.
