This reminds me of the Imperial German-inspired Berlin-Baghdad Railway that many historians now feel helped propel the Allies into the First World War against Germany in 1914, a scenario caused by the Germans building a fleet to rival that of the Royal Navy, just as—now—the Chinese are doing to rival us.

Listening to and speaking to some of these people it is clear they have not thought about the consequences of an attack and clearly underestimate Iran’s response, not to mention how the Arab and Muslim people will react.
