LLoyds is a building. Insurance is provided by P&I clubs which is the money from actual ship owners, pooled together. They usually have an address in the Lloyds building. Reinsurance is the issue. It's the ship owners just wanting to be paid more money. There is already a shortage of tankers.

I think the War Powers Act only allows 60 days.

Raise the tariffs if they do.

How would China supply them? We have complete air supremacy. Wouldn’t we just bomb the shipment as soon as it changes custody?

The Strait of Hormuz is only 20 something kms at the chokepoint.


Looked that up on Google Earth Pro which allows measuring. It's actually about 32 miles. Still that a serious chokepoint.

After reports of multiple THAAD batteries being damaged/disabled and now this Patriot battery, it’s a bit concerning that Iran has been able to make multiple hits on our air defenses. I’d hate to see what a Taiwan situation would look like.

Time to send in the Kurds to fight as guerrillas to further divert the IRGC.

Their entire Navy is at the bottom of the ocean. What happened to their land based anti-ship missiles like the Silkworm? There doesn't seem to be a threat from them, so it's just drones. Which can easily nail the tankers in port if they wanted to.

So, what's the real risk difference in sitting there or getting out of the gulf?
