Still refusing to answer my simple question. Why did insurance companies start cancelling policies for ships trying to navigate the strait?

"Insurance stops the movement of ships because the war starts"

Insurance companies are incapable of "stopping movement". They do not have an enforceable arm to do that. This statement shows that you don't understand the role of insurance.

Keep spitting in the wind 🤣

The only person spitting in the wind is you since you are apparently incapable of answering the very simple question of "why did insurance companies start cancelling those policies?" Clearly someone with all the answers such as yourself should be able to answer this simple question , yes? 

what you're also implying here is that had insurance companies not starting cancelling policies, that everything would have been all hunky dory in the strait and ships would have just been passing through left and right, which is an effing laughable proposition given the reality that Iran has been attacking ships who have attempted to pass through the strait without paying them a toll.

Gee, it's almost as if the reason ships stopped trying to navigate the strait was because their captains didn't want to get blown up in a boat attack.  And that the insurance companies cancelling policies was simply to protect their own financial interests so that they wouldn't be liable for damages should a ship try to navigate the strait and get blown up....

Eh not really. He was adamant about tariffs not being pushed down to the consumer because for profit companies would choose to just eat the cost instead. That's stupidity right up there with the Limu Emu shutting down the strait IMO.

I didn't say anything about the conclusion or POV. But he at least constructs an argument vs saying "You have TDS" 50 different ways.

"Iran mumbles it's closed few days after but not much happens AFTER the insurance companies already did"

Is that MAGA allegory for Iran attacking four commercial vessels, two in transit, killing 3 people on board in the process? Because that part wasn't obvious.

hey numbnuts: if you ask AI specifically about a cause, yeah it'll tell you it's part of it. and you can even try to present it as a primary cause.

but you're an idiot and don't want to ask the right way. because if you did, your brain would start to smoke.

the war has made it unsafe for ships to pass, and thus operationally uninsurable.

the inability to get insurance is the effect of the war. not the root cause of why ships cannot proceed, which is the war that Trump chose to wage.

go back to your echo chamber of lies, or learn something. pick one.

diehard using sloth's schtick again is awesome. 🤣

War starts

Trump offers to underwrite

More talk

Minister says it's open a few weeks later

IRG starts BS in force with mines and rockets mid March

Trump closes it April

I've answered a few times and Google said so as well. Trump and Israel hit them.

Oh, somewhere towards the start people started saying Iran's navy would close it and I said no chance they will have a prayer with ours there and Doc and I got into it.

I'll make it easy for you.

War starts

Iran states they will attack ships transiting strait.

Ship owners don't want to lose ships or worse yet have their staff killed.

Ships don't transit.

Insurance companies can't bring sailors back to life you moron.

Got it. So if insurers insured the ships the companies would still transit and be fine with people being killed. You're even dumber then I thought you were.

"The insurance companies closed the straight" is like blaming the divorce lawyer for your failing marriage. It's an absurdist claim, palatable to MAGA because it doesn't lay the blame on Trump or give the credit to Iran, the actual parties at fault.

Look at you crying you got the timeline wrong and are now triggered. I'd say just take the L but you all are incapable.

Insurance companies closed it

Iran said no we are closing it after watching ships sit there scared for a few days

Later that month their minister says it's not closed

IRG starts the BS with rockets and mines

Like I said

🤣

Same issue with the straight. Their politicians want a deal the IRG says no. Two factions inside Iran.

The guy who had a meltdown when Trump was called an octogenerian is calling it the "straight" of Hormuz like he's playing Hold Em. Hate to see it.

LOL at him still rage quoting me blocked. Yeah, stating he used it wrong wasn't a meltdown it was a fact check. Little weak angry man. Just follows me around lying about my fam and money while projecting. Yes, it is a strait. Unlike Gannon I'll just say yes it was a typo I've used a few times. I was wrong. How hard is that for you all? Impossible actually.

As for use of closet **** and Freud it's hilarious coming from people who talk about sucking dick as much as you all do.

Jumping in when I mentioned you and your sucking dick references and Freud without mentioning you by name huh? WGB brought your name up, though. Guess you live in his head on more than one level. Great chatting with you though, Mr Iran is Better By Ever Metric

Its a strait though, Half-man.

so, we still debating the ripple effects of trump's stupid decisions?

May be an image of text that says 'AF. AF Post @AFpost. 18h President Trump said he bombed Iran on the counsel of Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Pete Hegseth, and others. others Murray @Rothbard1776 Just so everyone understands how insane this is: Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are real estate developers who have a personal axe to grind against Iran because of their ties to Israel and Pete Hegseth is a religious radical who believes bombing Iran will help bring Jesus back.'
