USA causes destabilization then sells destabilization insurance. The most jewish thing I've read all day.

CaptainTroubleThis is a ballsy power play by Trump. Lloyd's of London was the gold standard for maritime insurance policies until just a day or two ago when they started cancelling policies or jacking them up 3-5X. Others insurers followed. That collapsed commercial shipping traffic through Hormuz, which choked oil shipments out of the Middle East. Trump doing this means the DFC has the chance to displace Lloyd's as the big dog in this game, when they have been the lock-in player for many years. It also frees up all the oil that was getting trapped there, heading off shortages and keeping the energy market alive. And why not? It's the American navy that sunk the Iranian ships that were harassing tankers. And the American Navy -- at least for now -- will keep those tankers safe. It's a huge reassurance to allies -- both oil producers and oil consumers -- that our campaign in Iran isn't going to sink their economies. And it allows America to be choosy about traffic in the Strait. It also potentially means billions of dollars in insurance premiums at wartime rates going to America instead of the UK. And those rates are STILL going to be cheaper than what shippers were getting.
 
Isn't the straight of Hormuz shallow compared to rest of Persian Gulf/ Gulf of Oman? I have heard that a few times and apparently it would not be hard to block it or not make navigable just by sinking some old ships in it?

They may have the greatest military in the world but that is irrelevant if nukes start flying...

Plus weren't we also suppose to hear more about aliens by now?
