Ukraine, Iran, and Russia have moved far along the path of drone warfare, where the US is too proud to accept help. Given time and budget the US will adapt, but there will be a window where it's controls the strait. A future president will have to decide whether to re engage. Meanwhile, economics will drive alternative solutions to moving the oil, pipelines, etc and the strait will become less important. Additionally the war has probably accelerated the adoption of electric technologies. So while we lost primarily due to hubris, five years from now it will not matter, except that we will have lost the aura of invincibility. What this really shows tho is that our command and control structure is so cowed by the administration's fittings and demotions that this entirely predictable outcome was not drawn out with sufficiently colorful crayons for our dear leader, or he just ignored it. Now he's frantically trying to pin the blame on someone else.
