This is just stupid for the same reason his earlier idea of escorts was a dumb idea and the same reason why an invasion of Karg Island is stupid. All that does is put US Navy ships in a bottleneck and make them easy targets. Hell it is so narrow in the strait that you can use standard howitzers on the mainland to shoot at ships with indirect fire, nevermind missiles and drones which the US has already proven they suck at dealing with. The USN themselves have even publicly stated to congress they effectively no longer have the capability to resupply at sea so even if they shoot down everything in the first waves. Once they run out of missiles the ships would have to flee unarmed to Diego Garcia. It is stupid on so many levels.
And why Diego Garcia? Because the home port of the 5th fleet that was is Bahrain is now a smoking crater again thanks to Trump's stupidity.
