NYTimes: US Navy Is Getting Oil Through the Strait of Hormuz

though obviously the total number of ships is still down compared to the situation prior to the war.

You don't say?! Why even throw that barb in there?

So Iran doesnt control the Strait

Is living in your "my political party can do no wrong" mind palace leading to lower prices for you? If so, I need to learn your ways.

This is one of those things where if any traffic gets through, Trump claims the win that he controls it. But, these were numbers as of like a week ago.


And, I just saw this.

quote:

Shipping through Hormuz has been running at roughly 17 percent of its pre-conflict average, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center — the waterway is, in the assessment of maritime-intelligence trackers, largely blocked, with no genuinely safe route through it. There have been dozens of reports of vessels damaged in and around the strait since the war opened on February 28, including eight attacks on ships this month alone, some linked to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. As recently as August 19, three China-linked supertankers turned back mid-transit. This is not the traffic profile of an American-controlled open seaway. It is the profile of a contested, mostly shut chokepoint.

But, the obvious point is even if we getting back to like 50% of pre-war levels of movement, it's a massive loss.

And CNN says Iran doesn't entirely control the straight.

So, when NYT and CNN are both running stories that ship are getting through, is it a setup for another attack?

Could they possibly coordinate that closely with each other when the US middle class is the real target in this war?

You cannot be serious.

SDV you’re better than this - I think.

Because the writer felt at least a smidge of guilt for prostituting themselves out for what was otherwise a pure propaganda piec

Yeah, the NYT is all about promoting the Repuublicans.

There are things you can push back on, but this doesn't seem one where I
would be "cackling", given it is the NYT. But hey, Libs on this board gonna Lib. You want communism, we get it.

Have we taken Kharg yet as you predicted

No we havent. And thats an epic fail

Just yesterday you were drooling over Zion Ron after crying about MIGA

It seems that people, particularly those against the conflict, have forgotten that this was never about the Strait. Yet, that is all they talk about.

The goal was to stop Iran from building more nukes and missiles. Why is this never discussed? Why is it so hard for so many people to recognize any positive news?

If you are discussing the effects of the war, it seems logical to at least mention the whole reason it began in the first place. But many are just ignoring this and only focusing on the number of ships through the Strait, which aren't even destined for our country.

These people will say that Iran is having their weapons restocked by other countries, so they know that this part has been successful. So, why is the only focus on oil through the Strait?

Is this like when the MSM refuses to acknowledge anything good Trump has done? Because it really seems like it.

The people who do nothing but complain while refusing to acknowledge any positive news are as useful as the media. They can't be taken seriously due to their bias and emotional reactions.

The worst part is that they know this behavior helps democrats. Some are even giddy at the prospect of democrats taking over congress despite claiming to be conservatives. They just can't help themselves.

Is complaining about everything while ignoring everything good really that attractive? Is that dopamine hit really worth it? I sincerely cannot understand this mentality.
