A simple solution to opening up Straits of Hormuz

Take out ads in all European news papers that starting today, every time a ship is hit by Iran, not necessarily destroyed , three Irani commercial ships will be sunk after appropriate notification to captain and crew. Consideration will be given to sinking empty ships first to minimize enviormental damage. Include a list of all known/maybe known Irani commercial ships and their locations around the world.

Why not just sink them all?

Do us a favor and compile this list for us. Thanks.

Threats from Iran aren't really why the straits are closed. Lloyd's of London is refusing to insure the ships in the Straits. If Lloyd's would insure, the straits would open with security guarantees from the US.

You’re probably the national security advisor to this administration

You're a little late to the party. Trump said that FedGov would insure and protect shipping.
But what perplexes me more, is why Lloyd's thinks there's more risk from being droned in the Strait than there is being droned sitting in port, where drones can easily reach. They don't appear to have any anti-shipping missiles sitting in the strait like they did in the 90s.

I remember that the Saudis built a huge pipeline from the Arabian Gulf across their land to the other side reaching the Red Sea.
I believe several pipelines are now in process. To construct more would take several years but that would be a feasible idea.

How many commercial ships fly the Iranian flag? Doubt it's very many.

The UK is just a bitch, no matter how you slice it.

Might as well issue letters of marque.
Elon + Cajun Navy stacked - Ali Yaba Daba fricked
And if we can't have that can we at least get an Adult Swim version? Elon, Guidry, and Fontenot. Narrated by Bebe.
Edit to add: Carville would also kill it as narrator. Weed and red wine take me to odd places.

The USS Winston Churchill, a missile destroyer deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean is the only remnant of the words British and Naval power, and it is an America ship. (his mother was American).

It’s not, but the idea wasn’t the sole factor that caused me to call the Op weird. Come to think of it, you’re pretty weird too.

I am okey with being weird if you are describing an engineers interest in distinguishing between causation and correlation.

Typical. I have learned over my 79 years of life that when people call you weird they are losing a disagreement. ESPECIALLY DEMOCRATS. You are a lightweight
