    I was just thinking that wouldnt it be a bit risky for the warships to escort other ships through since its not somalian pirates on boats, but missiles, drones and who knows what else that are the threat. I doubt they have that much protection against them on every single warship?

    Also ive been waiting for the market crash, but it seems that the world (not only maga) buys anything that the orange butt-plug says and this is a good example of that

      With Iran already being economically isolated for years before this war, there’s not enough new risk of further economic damage to cause a market crash.

        Im not talking about iran’s economy, im talking about the gas, oil, container and whatever shipmnts going through. They have stopped gas production at one refinery if i remember correctly and so on. What if the war spreads across middle east? Thats what i think would affect the market, but thats not enough I suppose?

          Trump (and Putin) want oil and gas prices to rise. It’s Russia’s only significant source of foreign currency earnings.
