To borrow the "bully" analogy, it's frustrating to be harassed by a bully - but if you just go and beat the bully up, they can send you to jail. So unless the harassing is so terrible, it usually isn't worth it - and it's always worth it to try to find a solution other than beating up the bully.
Depends on the jurisdiction you're in. If you're unlucky enough to be bullied in San Francisco or New York, yup, you punch a bully and you're going to jail. But if you're in Montana or Texas the cop will look at the bully and his fresh shiner and ask him if the bullying was worth it. And then go on his merry way.
Are the high seas more like New York or Texas?
Oh, because Israel/Iran might end up blowing up anyway. Israel deeply embarrassed the regime by killing Hamiyeh there, and Iran's going to counterstrike - and if they miscalculate and hit too hard, you might start to see escalation there (and between Iranian client Syria and ally Iraq).
That was last week or so. Why have we been sending ships and painting SHOOT ME on them for the last 8 months?
