@Ghislaine They're denying the attacks on Saudi oil fields, IIRC, and they've been good about keeping things in reserve so far. A lot of people have predicted that Iran was out of missiles only to be proven wrong six hours later, for instance.

I think they'd reward a lack of escalation. Not saying they're geniuses, but their responses have had that kind of calculus so far. We'd be seeing less damage to American assets than we currently see.
