Can we all just appreciate how stupid and emasculated the yanks feel rn
The strait was never closed, iran just stopped us and us friendly ships.
I'm guessing any country that refused to assist the U.S. might be cleared to pass.
Trump told Europe to open the strait themselves if they need it.
Looks like the easiest way to do that is to deny the US access to your airspace and bases.
Love to see countries rewarded for doing the right thing! Maybe it'll catch on now that there's an economic incentive...
Mommy MIC is gonna be pissed if Iran can't keep it up. How's she gonna sell her goodies?
She's watching the death of radar with unreserved giddiness.
She gonna sell so many fucking infrared targeting systems.
ELI5 the container ships in that region are there for trade with the gulf countries?
Well their countries aren't antagonizing Iran so they can be okay. There's only really two countries that decided to poke them and those country's ships won't be allowed. Though some fee may be required but not sure the antagonizing countries get the option of a toll.
I'm not sure if that's what you were asking or if being facusious but my understanding of geopolitics is minimal also understanding of people too so figured I'd comment.
Genuine question:
facusious
did you mean "facetious" or have I never heard the word "facusious" before?
Typo I corrected once and didn't double check the suggestion.
no, my question is: other than oil and gas trade, what other trade than that for the gulf countries goes through the strait of hormus? or is the amount of container ships in the strait even relevant?
While only under construction, Iraq is building out a port and railroad facility so that Iraq can receive cargo and put it on a train to Turkey then over into the Schengen Area. This is being built as the Suez Canal has been seen to reach its practical limit in shipping capacity and Iraq is trying to capitalize on it by building an alternate gateway.
An Iranian toll on this traffic could have major impacts on how this infrastructure gets used.
I believe I misread and was thinking of other articles then, oops my apologies. Oil shipping at about 20% worth of world wide though, that's a big enough chunk to make anyone with a vehicle cringe, regardless of where you are. It'll eventually hit. Also sure that oil is used in many places not just vehicles to pump up the prices for consumer products. Though unsure of exact oil types on where it ends up exactly, apparently a lot of Asian countries.... Which have many manufacturers for our random crap we enjoy.
Sorry I think in the end my answer is that the oil is so much for the world economy that alone is enough to screw the world. To the point that other factors may not be an issue (they may be and I may be ignorant too)
There's no good way to tell if the containers are full of oil (shipping containers for liquids do exist, and failing that, so do barrels), so it could be an effective way of breaking the blockade.
But on the other hand, the Arabian peninsula isn't exactly a breadbasket - basically all of its food is imported. And of course, they have oil money so they can buy absurd amounts of shit on Amazon.
nono, you just gotta look at the tracking map
They crossed the desert bot the strait~
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
