      Blatant market manipulation. The trumps will be the wealthiest people on the planet if they aren’t already.

    2. >The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since ​the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now, according to sources familiar with the matter.

      >One of the sources said the Navy’s assessment during Tuesday’s briefing had not changed and that escorts would only be possible once the risk of attack was reduced.

      “Hello 911, there’s someone with a gun threatening me at my front door, please send the police right away”

      “Um, the risk of gunfire is too high, please let us know when the crazy guy with the gun leaves, and then we will send someone over, k thanks”
