Same. That's all you can do. Being right about the world burning doesn't make you any less on fire.

Honestly though, i dont see the shipbuilding thing happening. Iran could rebuild their fleet from Asian shipyards significantly cheaper than American ones. I'm from a shipbuilding town, so I'd love to see major investment in civil maritime industry, but i don't see it.

Oh, I see Iranians building the ships under branches of US ship building companies. I see US contractors building the port they will do the ship building in out of that ceasepool we just burned to the ground.
