@Myles@poa.st @gav@cawfee.club @caekislove@caekis.love @admin@detroitriotcity.com Lol. It isn't going to come back down any time soon. And Biden didn't have gas and diesel prices that we have now. You can look at any route you want. Traffic through the strait is down to 20% of normal, and that's double the traffic over last month. The US is spending hundreds of millions of dollars providing free security to those ships to avoid oil prices climbing higher, faster. The strait is effectively closed. 10-20% of normal, under free security escort by the US Navy, at 50 times the cost for insurance = closed. Whoever told you "more than half" is fucking lying to you. 17 ships in the last 24 hours. I could give you the registry names. Can your source do the same? It's funny that you're equating the cost for the needed security to cover for a Trump fuck-up to a domestic infrastructure spending program. But it's apt. Instead of spending money on the American people, Trump is dumping hundreds of millions of dollars to provide free security for oil companies to keep oil prices under $150-200 a barrel. All because Israel will not pull out of Lebanon. The US obviously doesn't need Cassius beli. They started this conflict without it. Why bother with it, now? And, who cares? 18000 bombing runs didn't change the Iranian position one iota. What's next? 10,000 more? Invasion? Lol. Can you imagine what Saudi Arabian oil fields and Israeli cities would look like trying to do that? We don't have the defender missiles like we once did. It'd be near suicidal.
