That might be a bit tough if they successfully close the Strait of Hormuz... or even credibly threaten it.

Yeah. Keep tellin yerself that. Naive blustery beats logic any day.

Capabilities? Faak. Laying mines is easy. And they got a goddam shit ton of em.

But finding them can be a mutherfukker.

And if ya miss just one or two...well...

You watch what happens to yer fuggin oil prices if they blow a big hole in the side of a Supertanker.....

JB might actually be right. More so than you anyway. China gets a buncha their oil from Iran through the Strait. And Iran needs all the friends they can get right now.

utter horse shit

...but keep on ...tryin

[rooster]

to quote another idjit on here...

if you say so

Laying mines? Talk about desperation. All that would do is cause the Iranians to sink their own ships.

[rooster]

You may want to do a bit of research on this before you respond so naively again. Iran has spent huge sums and effort developing mine technology and ramping up their capabilities to deploy them. The threat is very real. And all part of a plan to close Persian Gulf traffic if they get backed too far into a corner. Instant disruption.

JB's statement about China is the only one here worth responding to regarding this particular sub-topic. China doesn't want them to mine it. So they probably won't. But you cannot trust these fucking maniacs or predict what they will do. That is significant threat all by itself.

Not being naive and researching the U.S. Navy’s capabilities regarding detecting, removing & destroying mines prior to those mines fulfilling their intended purpose would be a good idea as well.

But, that being said…

China will most definitely push back on Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz being they get ~90% of their oil from Iran. So, that’s highly unlikely to happen.

Oil prices (West TX Crude) is holding steady at mid $60/barrel:

Gas prices are holding steady at low $3/gallon:

Blue-Collar wage growth is doing very well (see graph in link for easy consumption):

And…the Stock Market (all 3 indexes) is only a few points away from reaching all time highs:

And btw? Happen to see how low the Inflation Rate is? Low 2% range and holding steady.

So yea, I’d say things are going very well and sure, you can blame Biden for all time high gas prices (scroll down to “Highest Recorded Average Price” in gas prices link - mid 2022).

Now would be a great time for the Fed to lower interest rates so we won’t have to pay so much on our short term debt…that the Biden Admin incurred.
