Why did we allow Iran to build up Hormuz defenses/military placements over the decades?

Did it not strike any leaders as worrisome that a hostile foreign power was planting missiles stations, AA systems, etc along a major international waterway?

Who is this “we” you’re talking about.

It’s almost like you think democrats and rinos hate each other and are at odds.

What would have been the grounds for preventing them from doing so?

Well, like it or not, we have only limited control over a sovereign country, and previous administrations may not have expected this boneheaded war..,

We only have limited control? Since when? Hey, have you ever heard of Iraq? Have you ever heard of Libya? Germany? Japan?

You don't think they saw this coming? Then why did Obama fund it? They all saw it coming. All of them except Carter was just pure stupid. The puppet that didn't know he was a puppet.

Every administration since Carter has kicked this can down the road with the full knowledge this day was going to come. Don't act like this was a surprise to anyone with over 100 IQ.

Are you forgetting all the crying that took place when we bombed their nuclear weapon facilities? We gave them plenty of leeway and they eventually found out. As far as Hormuz that should have been dealt with regionally but of course the US took on the job.
