This article by Kagan being recognised as being the most significant piece of geo-strategic analysis in decades. Why? Because Robert Kagan is THE intellectual founder of neo-conservative interventionism. He, along with William Kristol founded PNAC - which was the neo-conservative think tank that dominated U.S. foreign policy for decades and, among other horrors, has advocated for war with Iran the entire time.

In this article, Kagan admits that the U.S. has been strategically defeated by Iran. He adds that it's not a defeat like Vietnam or Afghanistan, or even Pearl Harbour - this is a defeat that will cause irreversable damage to America's position in the world. He writes:

"With control of the strait, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia, as Iran’s allies, are strengthened; the role of the United States, substantially diminished."
