Matt Morse just reported that DJT ordered the Department of War to create a new shipping route in the Strait of Hormuz to bypass the thugs in Iran.

Also, DOD or should we say, DOW is reporting that all the mines has been cleared from the Strait,



If this report is true, I am betting that the Navy Seabees were in the lead in this massive undertaking.


Those guys rock. They can do amazing things when let loose.

'Merica.

I saw this and I think it is fake news started by X.

Trump would be boasting about it if it were true

Could be, IDK. I think we will find out in the coming weeks.

Regardless, alternative routes are being constructed at this moment, ie pipelines. The thugs in Eye-Ran are being bypassed slowly but surely.

I keep seeing it and people saying you can see it from satellite images, but I’ve seen no reporting on from legit sources or that ships were using jt

I certainly havent been keeping up with the details in all this. But obvious question, what's so difficult about keeping Iran from firing on ships in this region with all of our military and satellite capabilities?

Are they just firing from basically random locations that we cant track and act on?

The reason Iran went crazy right after the MOU is we opened another corridor.

It’s really easy to fire off cheap $50k drones

So, not sure of details, but the gap between the land masses has been there for a bit. If it's been deepened, definitely Seabee work.

This is assuming a low end distance for Shahed drones. It's realistically about double this.

We just had a Mosaic plant in St. James Parish shutdown and layoff about 309 employees. Why? Because they produce fertilizer and can’t get product out because they can’t get raw materials through the straight.

This military action has cost people jobs, is impacting farming now, and there is no end in sight.

Frankly, I wanted Trump to be successful, but it’s time to recognize that this is not going the way we wanted it to, and trying to distract with the renaming of lakes and other petty shiny objects is not beneficial.

We had an opportunity to show how insane liberalism is, and we are squandering it.

Why wouldn’t he have done this sooner?

An old tried and true way of complaining about good news. Way to stick with the classics.

You are offering great propaganda for the IRGC, Bunk. If MSNOW would give trophies, you'd get one.

And I'll bet almost none of their drones are as capable as you would have them be. I believe almost nothing coming out of their releases. Liars lie, all the time.

If they were, the IRGC would be using them EVERYDAY. We've watched Iran shoot most of what they have. Of course, this doesn't mean there won't be an occasional strike by one.

That's what terrorists do, right? But they don't tell the truth.

Fortunately, the world doesn't seem to have adopted the FUD (Fear, uncertainty & Doubt) people like you, 747 and others seem to think we live under.

Mid $80's a barrel, Bunk.
