Do yourself a favor and educate yourself on this VERY depressing topic

50 % of the global urea

33 % of the fertilizer

up to 50 % of the sulfur which is used for even MORE fertilizer

We are talking volumes that will devastate food poor nations.

we have lost at least 1 growing season

we are losing a 2nd.

This ---- snowballs

Many MANY people live on a "just in time" food production schedule

Any delay will cause the deaths of thousands

Terminals, buried pipelines, hardened existing sites, etc. I see the articles about how Iran is the supreme power of the region. They don't seem to take into account the strategic adjustments by economies that dwarf Iran's. Oil facilities are being dressed in cope cages built like a nascar catch fence, compared to the rusty chainlink Russians weld to their tanks and can't afford for their own infrastructure.

Now do fertilizer and natural gas and phosphorus

20 mil barrels of oil through strait pre war

3.5 to 5 barrels through alternate pipelines now

can go up to 7 mil barrels per day

NOOWWW
roughly 220,000 tons of nitrogen fertilizer moved through the strait every single day.

aint gonna pump ---- through pipes now are you

Global Share30 to 33 percent of all internationally traded fertilizer went through this path.Up to 50 percent of global urea, which is a common nitrogen fertilizer used for crops like corn and wheat.Nearly 50 percent of sulfur transported by ships, which is a key ingredient used to make other farm fertilizers.

It's not to let this turn into another years-long war with no clear end.
Define the objective. Do what it takes to achieve it.
Get 'er done.
So does your Vietnam analogy mean you want Trump to finish this?

What is the US' strategic goal in Piggy's illegal Iran war?

Iran's strategic goals are clear.

1. Provide deterrence against further aggression against them by Israel and the US
2. Lifting of sanctions
3. Increase revenue
4. Israel withdraw from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and the West Bank.

Goal 1 has been achieved
Goal 2 will inevitably occur as nations will need to deal with Iran for oil in the long term
Goal 3 is being developed with their fees for passage of the Strait
Goal 4 is still to be effected.

To be clear, Piggy was ready a month ago to unleash a very heavy attack against Iran.

Iran hit a base of ours in Jordan, hard, killing multiple troops.

that caused Piggy to TACO

Because we had no defense to Iran's missiles

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS????????

From the article:
"It has gone head-to-head with the superpower and Israel, withstood a pounding from their most advanced weapons."
Iran has not gone "head-to-head" with the US. The US has the military capability to level Iran if it chose to fully unleash it.
Instead, the US has deliberately restrained itself, repeatedly limiting its military response while leaving the door open for Iran to negotiate in earnest.
Whoever wrote this is repeating Tehran's spin.

You are simply wrong

The US and Israel hit Iran with everything they could.

Iran withstood it

We are running out of long distance munitions, meaning we would have to fly closer in, meaning far more likely to take casualties.

And to what end?

We do not have the munitions to damage or destroy their missile stockpiles

Read that again

We do not have the munitions to damage or destroy their missile stockpiles

Nothing in our arsenal, NOT EVEN NUKES

Can damage or destroy their missile stockpiles.

They are buried deep in numerous mountain strongholds

All of those missiles will hit our bases, hard, like they have done.

So, again, there is absolutely nothing we can do from the air.

Unless you want to raze Tehran to the ground

Do you want to raze Tehran to the ground?

That will take a lot of bombs by the way with our planes flying OVER Iran taking hits

So, numbnuts
what is your strategy to level Iran?

and government shouldn't make every little operation carry the same regulatory burden as a full-scale business.
If he's actually creating a health or safety hazard, deal with the hazard.

Regulatory burden
Like no health or safety hazard
that sort of regulatory burden
the burden to not cause health or safety hazards

Feaking morons
