The US is not likely to give up control of the Persian Gulf lightly if there's any agency in the matter. Read J.B. Kelley's "Arabia. The Gulf, & the West " for the history of American power in the Gulf.

This is one of many reasons that we can't afford American culture to degrade further because politics is downstream of culture. It's a matter of life & death.

" It is not too late for Biden to take the Hamas “no” to the latest deal and to give Israel carte-blanche to finish what it started in Gaza."

What, specifically, do you mean by that? Hamas degraded? Hamas totally destroyed? The hostages returned?

I'm still in the dark as to what Israel can realistically accomplish strategically in Gaza. Blowing up buildings is not a strategy.
