We're gonna be "here", awhile, 'here' being a state of "stalemate" and "Mexican Stand-off" . I had to resort to getting a decent description (definition) of 'Mexican Standoff' from Wikipedia . Here it is .
" 'Mexican Stand-off' is a confrontation where no strategy exists that allows any party to achieve victory . Anyone initiating aggression might trigger their own demise . At the same time, the parties are unable to extract themselves from the situation ... "
"When you steal, steal from the best." The above may NOT "be the best" but the above is clear and understandable and that's all we need for today's consideration .
To >>>>ME<<<<< the "Situation" in the Strait of Hormuz is OBVIOUS as a 'Mexican Stand-off' and I wonder WHY 'Mexican Stand-off' was NOT IMMEDIATELY 'given' to the public as a way to Understand the present "stalemate" a term that hasn't been applied either . I'm OLD, and me and Mine learned about Mexican Stand-off (s) at an early age through contact with films and movies and even Early TV . I have NO 'love' for present day journalists who IGNORE Pop-Culture references, and cinematic tropes . I mean there's that brutal scene in Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" where members of a gang are standing with their weapons pointed at each other, and where just one shot will be the extinction of all . "Killer" scene pun intended .
