UKMTO Reports Tanker Struck in Red Sea

From Reddit: UKMTO Alert for Attack against vessel in Red Sea (Likely Houthis)

WOW!!

Dr.Sal is already on top of it from the comfort of the Irish Sea fresh breeze.

I wrote that in Dec of 2023 - SO TWO & A HALF YEARS LATER, I AM STILL FU@KING PISSED OFF. . .

I can’t take anymore blood pressure meds! ! :rofl:

Gradualism never works; the US should have learned the lesson from Vietnam. And today’s post from POTUS almost made me drive off the road today. “shoot at a ship and the US will smack a bridge and power plant - maybe near Tehran”. Gimme a break. BOMB ALL THE FU@KING BRIDGES AROUND TEHRAN. ISOLATE THOSE MF’ers. If they want to live in the Stone Age, I’m happy to help.

For the Houthi’s? “Dirty Harry - MAKE MY DAY”. We’ll oblige putting you back into the SA too. . .

Give war a chance. . Make war, not love. [sometimes it’s necessary. 47 years of Death to America chants yields payback!!

[Steamer, and F-man are gonna crucify me, I know. But I do appreciate the give 'n take, guys]

[Buggs - don’t be mad at me, ok?]

Why are you dragging me into this?

This is strictly between you and the guy you voted for.

It was 100% his decision to start this, just like it was your decision to back him up 100%.

If you don’t like the way he’s running it talk to him.

Then calm down and stop encouraging your illustrious lead to commit war crimes. He already have enough to answer for.

As for “bombing them back to the stone age”; if you are talking about the Persians, they left “the stone age” behind them long before your forbearers. (Unless you are of Chinese decent)

OK, I don’t believe you are so dumb that you actually belive in all that BS, so I’m not mad at you.

A “stone age” attitude?:

Amazing. Great minds think alike!! I did send the White House a communication :rofl: - told him that gradualism doesn’t work. And all I got was a fk’g social media link. . .:zipper_mouth_face: He’s on my :poop: list… :saluting_face:

I think my Irish & Welsh forbearers might be insulted. . .:tumbler_glass:

Buggs, thanks for the link. I’m beyond fed-up with USA’s journalism. Seems all there is is LEFT-WING CNN, or RIGHT-WING FOX. Al Jaz seems a little preachy.

I think that the situation in the Red Sea and in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz has fundamentally changed, and we’re never going back to what it was before,” said Bridget Diakun, senior risk and compliance analyst at Lloyd’s List. “We’re not going back really to a time where we were before February 28 in the Strait of Hormuz. I don’t think I would describe it as a no-go area.”

Depending on what the Houthis do right now, perhaps we’ll see transits drop even further than that 60% mark,” said Diakun. “But again, everyone has different risk appetites, and I think people also adjust to the situation.”

Contributing to the decision to transit through a war zone is fatigue. Tanker owners and operators eventually accept the situation as time goes on. War risk becomes the new normal.
