The Straits of Vermouth have not been completely reopened, so we will see, and I'm optimistic that during the summer, we will see gas with a three in front of it, sooner rather than later,” he said. Bessent had mispronounced the name of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow channel between the coasts of Iran and Oman that Tehran has turned into a choke point.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/strait-vermouth-democrats-roast-two-193549339.html

@Jorro@universeodon.com Airplane (1980) Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

@Jorro@universeodon.com I'd never heard of the Strait of Hormuz until all this started, but you can rest assured, I'll never forget where it is, how important it is to the oil trade or how to pronounce the name. Good grief.

@Jorro@universeodon.com I'm not sure $30/gal gas is really going to be that much of an improvement. Just sayin' 🤣

@Jorro@universeodon.com The way he always has to find his words in an interview and still manages to find the most idiotic ones he always sounds like he’s incompetent and a fool. It’s a theme with this admin.
