I saw another post that the latest pause indicates we are going to solve all our problems with diplomacy. Too many people are too witless to understand that beginning negotiations before reducing Iran's infrastructure to a 19th century base is hopeless.

Crude is down huge today because the houthi attacks are failing. All the ships are doing is turning off their transponders, and I guess the houthis aren’t privy to Chinese satellites, because they can’t find them.

Saudis have a sizable military they should be able to take care of the Houthis on their own.

Ships need not go near the Houthis if transiting between Saudi Arabia and Europe via the Suez Canal.

If China needs oil, the Chinese military will clear a passage if necessary, and it won’t stop “until it’s over over there.”

How are the Houthies attacking in the sea?? We have the largest, most powerful Navy in the world. I am picturing them like Captain Phillips with a Skow with a couple of outboards.
