"If all the world were a golden ring, Ormus [Hormuz] would be the jewel in it."

Speaking of "a ----" [farting?] lunatic ... "

The points I've noted here are just most obvious ones, and I'm glad people are attempting to engineer workarounds for the Strait of Hormuz Problem. The Iranians have long made clear their perfect awareness of the on-off switch they hold at the Strait of Hormuz. The rest of the planet recognized the existence of this fact-on-the-ground. Except for one person: Donald J. Trump.

He has form on matters where his tail gets caught in a crack. Pushed to the wall, he may offer us the prospect of a concept of a plan. After he tells us more about his ballroom and his "ark" and his coin and his passport and ...

The old Chicago Stockyards churned out less b.s. daily than this maladministration of lunatics, grifters, drunks, sex pests, druggies and morons.

"They" being the spiritual parents of our very own MAGAts.

" ... it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole edifice of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack."
Aime Cesaire, Discourse on Colonialism

I wonder what this great planet, not to mention the USA, will look like in the year 2276CE?

Unthinkable?

Who monitors this alcoholic and what sort of controls have been placed on him?

If ever there was a combat- and risk-averse crew, it's the Sauds.

As for the route, the outlet is, what? Suez Canal? Or the next bottleneck in Houthiland?

Riiiiiiiight.

Well Regulated Militia training exercise.
Nothing to see here, just biz as usual in Amurika.

"So this is the biggest deployment of my life and there won't be a drop of alcohol on my lips while I'm doing it."

Is anyone monitoring this fool's drinking?
Anyone?
