Was on the edge of my seat wondering how this is going to unfold. One way or another, the contents of the containers of H3RC will become public. U.S. Navy will guarantee that, since BARACKA1 doesn't seem to be able to.

A blocked canal? The White House should send Pete Buttgig over.

This could be the very one thing he would be good at.

Are we sending the Maternity Battalion? I hear they have snazzy new uniforms.

2000 pound smart bomb would help.

...just as soon as all team members have been screened for racism, insurrectionism, whiteness, and Christianity.

Ships are traditionally referred to as “she.” Clearly misgendered. Or miss gendered. Send in the invasion force!

I’m not sure the contents are particularly important. How the ship (the largest in the world, owned by a Japanese company) ended up blocking the canal is definitely interesting.

Incompetence? Error? Or an act of economic warfare designed to shut down shipping and cost the world billions of dollars a day?

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if our Navy embarassed itself and the nation over there. These thoughts would’ve never crossed my mind just 10 years ago.

Can some of the cargo be offloaded?

Somewhere in the region they have tugs big enough to shove that bad boy. Just check with the Israelis.

Romney isn’t right very often anymore, but he once said, “Sometimes, you just need an American”.

It’s a trap. As soon as a few USN vessels pull up to the tanker....

BOOM!

A cruise missile or two should do the trick.

It’s a conspiracy by the company that put in a bid to widen the canal.

Have you seen the EverGiven's track, just south of the canal before it entered?

I think Evergreen would prefer not to.

I think it was scuttled precisely to make public nefarious contents during offloading.

Some news reports have offloading being discussed, as the tugs (BARACKA1 and MOSEAD2/3) are not working. They are saying to do so means getting into position a monster crane, and that is to offload one container at a time.

There's a LOT of TP being shipped in hundreds of backed up cargo ships both north and south. Run on TP anyone? Again?

I read that it was high winds...that caused the problem.

They have pilots that accompany them..thru the canal.

At least some of those:

white hat - scuttled it. Navy Seals perhaps.

black hat - loaded the containers, arranged shipping thru “EVERGREEN”

China... not the country, but perhaps the CCP in the role of the black hats.
