Philippino monkey used to broadcast nightly on the maritime hailing frequencies in the Persian Gulf. He was much reviled and unless you stood bridge watches there you never heard of him. It sounds like he has been replaced by someone calling himself the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy (IRGCN). I’m not sure which is worse. He is scaring all the timid tankers in job lots and making the faint hearted afraid and suggesting to the world that even after they got the peace in their time that the whole world demanded, it is all meaningless because the Enforcer just told them that he is satisfied with the written assurances of the mullahs. The insurers are still terrified and that means no coverage for trade ships in the Strait. Europe and the rest now have to up their game somehow and how something that pathetic can intimidate the mullahs is something we all need to see. I mean, they sanctioned the socks off Russia and slit their energy throats to show sincerity a couple years ago and I don’t think they got anything like the results they wanted. Nothing at all really.
Do you see it now? Once again they screwed themselves and once again they think what happened there makes America look weak. Nope. I think this exact outcome was ALWAYS the intended one. Trump just told the world that if they don’t like the deal, they can always impose their own.
Europe and Australia screwed their energy supplies to death and now have no guaranteed source of energy remaining except what we sell them. All those Petro Dollars finally coming home to roost back home where they belong. It’s funny how the entire world market responds to the will of one solitary man.
And those stupid weasels whined about tariffs. Ha!

One man, embattled by both wings of the uniparty. One who was sold a bill of goods by Bibi in order to get us into fighting Israel's war.
I note with amusement that yesterday I researched the three Trump sponsored rare earth companies and not one of their prospectuses showed they are within a year of actually producing their first Kg of rare earths.
Mucho dollars "invested" nothing beyond kilobytes of promises so far. Maybe 2027.
Yet both Russia and China have still not sold America any rare earths for the past 18 plus months.
Our cupboard of long-range attack missiles is depleted. Our defensive missiles like SM2, Patriot and THAAD are nearly depleted.
That's from Naval and DOD webpages.
Our strategic oil supply had been drawn down to keep oil prices artificially lower and support Trumps social media tweets "We have plenty of oil come here and buys oil".
Yes Europe, India and the far east have been backing up the tankers and buying all the "Cheap Oil" they could grab hand over fist.
Cushing tank bottom has arrived according to the CEO of Chevon and other oil refining companies.
Meanwhile unless Israel playing the Mad Dog is part of this Bigly Wonderful Plan Trump's influence on Bibi is a joke.
If the plan that seems to change from tweet to tweet was to keep Iran from having THE BOMB that Bibi's been yelling about every for 19 YEARS (yes, I can post links) EVERY freaking time he NEEDS Americans to fight Israels wars.
Well HOWS THAT PLAN WORKING OUT?
So much WINNING, I'm actually getting tired of so much winning.
No, America isn't independent in oil, doesn't really produce rare earths, WAS Importing Fertilizers that the Middle East produced now isn't, nor is the rest of the WHO FREAKING CARES World.
You know the folks that make about 15% of our food supply (100 percent coffee and chocolate).
Wanna guess what's that's going to do to food Availability and Prices?
This fall is going to be interesting. As in Chinese curse.
I think. you think too much of yourself. Following you across several blogs, mostly seems, you are usually wrong in your opinions. However, your postings are worth, at least considering.
Bear in Indy
Bear at least I can show facts instead of opinions.
Maybe someday you should use that internet connection and try to LOOK things up.
Oddly just now I found this:

Please research and show how this technical report is wrong.
I eagerly await your links Bear in Indy.
There are very few internet sources I find less credible than Larry. He and Scott Ritter joined by Vox and Andrei hate Americans and America and it burns through everything they write. They do serve as an interesting point of departure from reality but man, don’t let them get started on the Phoenicians.
I’m on holiday so I write a little less than usual.
Source is easy to dismiss.
However, the resulting research is often supportive of thing we don't like to read about.
Don't get me wrong HMS, I love and served my country for over 2 decades. I don't want to see it go down as I have family still serving in the Epstein war and would like my retirement checks, investments and social security to continue to provide me and mine a comfortable lifestyle.
Mark Twain: 'Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.'
I don't think an AIPAC owned Government is worthy of our once strong Republic.
It's been sad to watch the decline of Michael. He fell into the Aesop hole: a man in love with his own words.
I am so touched at your concern. LOL.
Aesop is twice the man I'd ever hope to be. Not that I agreed with him much after the COVID scramble but at least, he'd not hide behind anonymous.
