Unreal to find they’re quite OK with POTUS starting a war that he can’t seem able to give a reason for…
This has become a ludicrous game now…
No Country could do any Trade Deal with these people, every week there’s a new story, some new hurdle to jump. No company, industry or country could plan on this basis…
Your assuming ship owners are prepared to sail through there, to take the risk…
One loss is $100m + Environmental 3rd Party Damage which could be >$200m & the American taxpayer is going to underwrite that?
Plus, the World already knows, Trump, NEVER pays up!

It is the US, the architects of the post WWII ‘Rules Based Order’, for War, Diplomacy, Commerce, Trade, Finance, saying…
Forget all that, it’s the Law of the Jungle now & we’re the biggest predator here
So! What’s to stop Putin using a tactical nuke’ in Ukr, or Xi blockading Taiwan
Nothing…
Also worth noting, the insurance payout for a total loss of a say a 50,000t oil tanker would be ~$50m, with 3rd party environmental damage @ >$100m
A 100,000t tanker would at least double these costs & 1 loss alone could reach $400m
That’s why insurers have withdrawn cover…
Well! thanks for posting anyway Olga
The USDFC is not mandated to provide Maritime Insurance, it’s there to promote private capital investment in projects at home & overseas
It has no power, authority or mandate to pay out on a possible insurance claim & no power to collect or hold premiums…
How exactly do you vet someone to make sure that they ‘Love America’?
Define love? Define what you mean by America?
The whole premiss is ludicrous…
They talk like they’re in a Hollywood Movie Script…

He really hates Zelensky doesn’t he. He’s jealous of him, can’t understand how someone like that can be smarter than him, more popular than him, listened to more than him
He’s just a jealous vindictive little man
Surprise, surprise…
He’s running out of Allies, in Eu, M East, Far East, Can, Mex, Caribbean
MAGA is going to destroy the US
Not only that, he wants a Nobel Peace prize for it…
“Ain’t that America…”
Me neither…
Or holding that partisan 2019 Press interview in the American Cemetery, Normandy (just behind Omaha Beach), with the white crosses of fallen D Day soldiers as his backdrop…
I’m afraid the simple, if uncomfortable truth is…
They did what the powerful Zionist lobby, (who had funded them again & again) lobbied them to do
Bibi got his war & there is no US threat justification, NONE. Because there is & was no threat to the USA
The UN was set up with a Charter, principles for Diplomats worldwide to reconcile differences by peaceful means rather than incessant wars, to save millions of lives
This is a grotesque caricature of those principles, a violation of work done by decent men & women throughout the world
Damn the US…

So ask her what was Pearl Harbour? Was that an act of war?
The US President (& Congress) at the time seemed to think so…
Ah Yes! Yet another “Special Military Operation”, the new sanitised YouTube way to describe WAR…

Proper order too. If these guys (US, Ru, Ch, Isra) are shredding the ‘Rules Based Order’ whenever they feel like it, Eu cannot remain undefended
Look at what happened to Ukr & now, about Iran, you have the US saying ‘there are no more rules of war’
I’m surprised it’s not in the SKIF!

Kings don’t consult peasants about decisions, they don’t care about polls
Peasants do, & die too, if that’s what the King decides…
The UN’s IAEA says it is monitoring & there has been no direct strike on the Bushehr Plant or radiological impacts so far. Also, that any such strike could have catastrophic environmental consequences, (incl’ for water)
Iran has asked for an emergency Board of Governors mtng, responses awaited…
Oh! Shut up Bloomberg…
This is just a news organisation trying to create a story with a drama headline
The EU is not in peril & nationalism is not ‘rising’, (read the polls), it’s there, it was always there, so what?
Talk about nationalism in the US, 77m of them in the last election!!
It’s like the 10 year old School playground bully talking…
This is the projection of US foreign policy to the World, it’s actually unbelievable, almost laughable if people weren’t dying because of this moron…
Reuters is now reporting that Iran is notifying vessels that it is closing the Straits of Hormuz.
If officially closed, 20m b/d of the global supply of oil will be impacted, or 20% of supply, which will most likely double the price of oil
This will impact every economy in the world
I suppose the SKIF is behind the curtains in the next room?

90m people, a 5,000yr old civilisation, geography as difficult as Afghanistan, their own oil, control of a major energy trade route choke point, a regime that is not going anywhere
What could possibly go wrong, when the US has such a great track record of defeating guys in sandals…
