  1. Ineptitude? LOL, why should US make a meaningful effort to help Chicoms and Indians flood Europe with their products? Cross Atlantic and cross Pacific trade is doing fine.

    1. Navel anti- missile $2,000,000 apiece.
      Hostile anti – ship missile $2,000 dollars.
      13-billion naval defense military operations.

      We Americans, We be Smarts.

      1. Facepalm,
        It is not the value of the missile that counts, but the value of the target.

  2. Not sure the Navy is to blame for the scarcity and longer transit times…

    I’d look to the white house and their decisions…

  3. I was told to watch Scorpio Tankers stock,
    STNG, (no no the star trek one), it’s seemed to enjoy a nice little rise, when the manure started hitting the ventilator..

  4. It’s not a matter of hardware, it’s a matter of rules of engagements. And who gives them and who is making money.

  5. We could WIPE OUT the Houthi’s at their source … you know … like Israel is doing to Hamas. But that wouldn’t be welcome by the Michigan voters who would ululate their disapproval. So Biden sits in the Red Sea and takes the abuse. And employs military maneuvers designed by John F. Kerry … to be carbon neutral. And if you think I’m being wry and sarcastic … I’m not. This is exactly what the Biden puppeteers are doing.

    1. So you’re banging the war drums, now? Because an Iranian (read russian) proxy slipped its leash? Wow. I’ll be happy to let Chicoms handle this one.

      P.S. What did you think the world would be like when you preached isolationism?

      1. Nahhh … Russia is too busy marching through Europe again … just like the Soviets … only this time the American Left ISN’T happy about it. Sheesh.

        Pssst … I’m talking about bombing the Houthi bases of operation … not Invading Iran you psycho Ukraine guardian of some alternate galaxy.

          1. Oh … I see … the REAL reason Obam and Biden send plane loads of American cash to Iran, and accommodate their nuclear weapons program is because they are actually kowtowing to Russia and Putin – Iran’s master. Russia, Russia, Russia

          2. Nope, the reason they sent Iran money is because they’re idiots. If you recall Ogabe also sent Hitlery to russia with a reset button. Also because idiots. Does that mean that Brandon likes russia now? No of course it does not.

            Iran then took that money and turned it into weapons programs. Weapons that they are now supplying both russia and Houtis with. Of course russia transferred missile tech to Iran among other payments, some of that tech is in the missiles Houtis are using now. It really is simple. Why do you think Chicoms are so pissed off at Iran now?

  6. I’m guessing that there are quite a few non Red Sea shipping alternatives between China, India, and Europe. The worse the Red Sea shipping lane is, the better the other ones are. The Silk Road comes to mind.

    1. Delibvering that volume of product by land is not an option. That is why, with Suez closed, they all sail around Africa. Even that much longer route is preferable than delivering by land.

  7. (A) The USA and Allies are old, toothless, and, most importantly, nutless.
    (B) by comparison, China, Russia and associates are not.
