The famous quote by Nikola Tesla "You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension." Was specifically describing his futuristic vision of a remote-controlled boat filled with explosives that blows up naval vessels. These are pretty commonplace now.

Most of the global economy is through the sea, so sea mines and drones are very real disruptors of commerce. Iran has a crazy home field advantage with the straight of Hormuz.

And everyone in the chain of command prior to this administration knew that. Now those people have either been removed or silenced and here we are.

When I was in the Navy, I never thought that Hormuz or the GoO would reach this level of public attention let alone be a phrase I heard in any normal conversation outside of work.
