Probably was the houthis. But this is the Middle East. Every faction is violently insane.
We should look for the cheapest solution that keeps American kids out of harm’s way. Iron bombs, and lots of them, targeted by drone (or indiscriminately spread if that’s OK) could make a big impression on these guys. We don’t need to establish a democracy here and we want no land. When the BBC and NPR send back pictures of the devastation, simply say “So what?”
The West laid the foundations for this by handing Somali pirates with kid gloves. What did they think was going to happen, we’d all start singing Kum-ba-Yah?
Attention all “Milk Factory Workers.” Take cover! Resident Biden is about to launch “Operation ‘Wag-the-Dog.’”
Iron bombs, and lots of them...
The enemy needs to get lucky once. Hit a US or UK warship and sink her. War on Yemen—then Iran. WW III is then only hours away. I hope we win this one for to lose would be the end of America as we know it. The wild card is China/India.
China has a base nearby in Djibouti so why not blame them?
Good info.
Eagle Bulk Shipping is planning to merge with Greek shippers Star Bulk in the 1st half of 2024. All stock transaction, wherein EGLE shareholders receive 2.6 shares of SBLK.
Good to know the Eagle ship was able to leave the area under its own power. Damaged cargo.
Ultramax ships can carry munitions and military equipment/vehicles. On ship cranes are rated for 30 tons.
The Gibraltar Eagle appears to have sailed from South Korea and no AIS data is available after passing through the Strait of Malacca.
Where’s Joey?
That ship is down by the bows and looks like she might sink. Oddly, the fire boat was standing too far off for their water stream to hit the stricken ship. I wonder if they were afraid of a possible explosion.
CNN reports the ship is carrying a cargo of steel products.
It’s another great military victory for the Biden Administration.
Complete glassification is the only solution...
That's a Singapore-flagged ship that was on fire in 2021.
>>CNN reports the ship is carrying a cargo of steel products.
Artillery is mostly steel.
