Biden: "Are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they going to continue? Yes."
Poster Comment:
Trade routes are taking longer to deliver. Shippers can raise rates. This will raise costs to consumers. Critical parts will be delayed. This will not end well.
It would be interesting if we could find out who is going short on energy (especially oil) market.
“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
Good point, this whole crapshow must also be distorting insurance actuarial tables.

"US owned" is not sufficient to make them a US concern. Houtis are only attacking cargo ships headed for Israeli ports; and if the owners don't want to risk their ships, don't go therre.
Our country is a joke under this fumblefuck of a president.

Later on I am looking to check any new hazards to navigation, when US mined Haiphong there was 72 hour heads up. Lloyds canceled policies of shippers still in harbor after the set time.
I heard the Syrian oil that was stolen was sent by tank truck thru Turkey to a port on the Mediterranean Sea and from there to refineries in Israel. ;)
