There’s no way the possibility wasn’t considered. Now the response to that COA may have been, let them close it, it will hurt them more than us. But no one on this board has nearly enough info to make an informed opinion on the matter, and if they do have that amount of info they better keep their mouth shut until some point in the future when it might be declassified.

Hormuz closed and the southern entrance of the Red Sea about to close. No insurance company will cover a tanker filled with $180-$330m worth of Oil transiting thru those areas

Holy hyperbole Batman.

Also, we are all allowed to have opinions and you didn't the arbiter of truth. And I don't understand how it can be traitorous and preposterous to think that the administration full of such humility could possibly underestimate anything or anyone? That's not partisan, that's just an observation.

Also, I think the American people deserve to know substantially more info about pretty much everything about what is happening.

Basic financial literacy is important.
I'm pretty sure I got the jist of your post and agree with the sentiment.

Punctuation is also important.

I think was he was calling traitorous was an alleged leak of classified information. Which often also comes with a bunch of spin, which both sides do.

No, just clarifying what I thiink was actually being argued. And again, both sides do it to serve their perceived purposes.

Yes, I was targeting the leaker. People have no idea how much trouble it is to handle classified materials, or how much trouble you can get in for tossing a TACMAN in your desk drawer to go take a leak.

But if you are at the highest levels it’s ok? That’s my rub.
