Three Commercial Ships Hit Near Strait of Hormuz
The Wall Street Journal reports Three Commercial Ships Hit Near Strait of Hormuz
Three commercial ships were struck around the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday as Iran stepped up its efforts to halt traffic through the critical oil conduit. The U.S. military has turned down requests to escort tankers or other civilian ships through the strait, with defense officials saying it won’t do so until the threat of Iranian fire has eased.
I am pleased to report the US will provide escorts as soon as they are no longer needed.
Q: How soon is that?
A: Please, don’t get me started on more of this soon stuff.
What happened to the victory? To military escorts? To Trump setting the terms of the surrender?
Well, I am pleased to report the war has been won!

Excuse me for asking but why didn’t Trump fill the reserves when crude was below $60?
More importantly, why didn’t he fill the reserves before starting a stupid war?

I have no idea regarding the translation, but that looks legit.
Costs Keep Mounting
Sorry, but those are not the costs. Factor in gasoline prices, natural gas prices, aluminum prices, lost trade, permanently disrupted supply chains, and rebuilding costs.
We are easily over $100 billion now and headed to a trillion.
Have We Discussed Fertilizer Yet?
I sense more aid for our farmers is coming.

We started the war to keep us out of war.
