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.

Yes exactly. commercial ship captains are happy to sacrifice their life and the life of their crew so long as the company that owns the ship has insurance to cover any losses.

Yeah but that's not true either. Trump is in Iran because he was desperate for a political victory and Bibi has delivered some of the few he's had over 2 disastrous presidencies. Back when they bombed the sites last year everybody here was both grudgingly willing to give Trump some flowers but also worried at how easily he had been dogwalked into it by Bibi. Turns out we were right on both counts. The flowers wilted fast because the nuclear program was not decimated at all and Bibi was playing Trump like a pool shark, letting him win a couple to nail him on the big bet.

I just listed two and Google earlier. Too bad for you. You're still projecting. But keep ignoring facts.

No, you didn't. Your links go to home pages, not actual reports.

The one you posted indicated that even with the offer of underwriting, captains were unwilling to risk passing through the Strait. Because it's not just about insurance. It's about whether it's worth the lives of the captain and crews.

Your boy turned the area into a warzone. You don't get to point fingers at insurance companies when war-risk model change the economics.

Go get your shinebox boy. I'm done with your ignorant ass.

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

You can't even remember typing "Unlike Gannon" a few minutes prior. Which isn't how I spell my name, but since you don't know the difference between strait and straight, it's to be expected. I can help though. You aren't straight because you have fantasies about a soon to be octogenarian. Iran is winning the war because they are able to close the strait of Hormuz. Hope that helps.

No I sure did. 3 different fact checks. Stop with the tough talk. You are a computer dev. In all my years I have never met one American dev who wasn't a physically weak ****. LATAM has some chill guys, but in America they only come as ****.

You all keep playing that card. I'm as unemployed as an athlete who retires in their 40s with millions in the bank. I'm not Vikas rich, but after a certain point unless you have an entourage or spend like a moron it's a game. So haha you got me! I never have to work again. What a burn!!! `Did I get lucky living where I did? Yeah, but oh well.

I posted multiple actual articles dated 2/28 with Iran already telling shippers if they go through Hormuz they're gonna get fired on.

The earliest articles mentioning insurance are March 1.

The whole premise is preposterously stupid. The reason insurance rates went up was because of the war.

Even when Trump offered US tax dollars to underwrite, shippers were like "nope" because, surprise, they don't want to ride through a warzone. Because it ain't just about insurance.

But it's the only bone he has so he has to gnaw on it. Otherwise he'll have to face reality, and his already broken brain will be a puddle.

From the outside of this ongoing dialogue, I get it,but let me interpose. We retired persons have skills and experience that are useful. As many retirees we have continued other pursuits. Hiking maybe one of those.
