I doubt they have a place to put the oil.

Using mosquitoes to vaccinate bats could curb the spread of deadly diseases But scientists say there are practical and ethical challenges to overcome before the strategy could be deployed in real-world settings.

Might work whether the bats eat the mosquitoes or the mosquitoes feed on the bats

Before the war 60 oil tankers per day and 150 vessels overall passed through the Strait. That’s gonna mean a lot of escorting.

In the 80s several U.S. ships were damaged after hitting mines while we were trying to keep the strait open during the Iran Iraq war.

Congratulations MAGA you must be so happy. With election of Trump and his disastrous war with Iran you have completely and irrefutably "owned the libs"

The U.S. isn't prepared to launch a major ground war to gain control of the coastline, i.e. the troops are not there. Trump doesn't have many moves left other than to declare victory and leave the mess to the gulf states and China to figure out.

Fits right in with the relentless transfer of wealth from the middle class to the ultra wealthy.

I hadn't appreciated that using the oil reserves is like drinking from a thin straw. The U.S. is releasing 197 million barrels but this reserve can be used at less than 2 million barrels per day.

MAGA has to suffer high gas prices along with the rest of us but it’s ok for them because they can watch Trump dance and actually enjoy it.

Most officers leave the service before their work life is over. Their subsequent career is supercharged by an Ivy League degree so this can't be good for morale

Dear MAGA,

Could you possibly have elected a larger group of idiots?

Trump says the war with Iran is ahead of schedule. When is the Strait of Hormuz scheduled to be reopened?

Trump Can’t Decide Whether the Iran War Is Still Going On The president seems to be at odds with both himself and his secretary of defense about the status of the conflict.

Biden wanted to cancel student debt and Harris had a plan for home ownership. Good thing those were stopped so we could save up for this.

Because the U.S. is energy neutral rising gas prices mostly moves wealth from consumers to U.S. energy producers

So 20 million barrels per day through the strait when open. 400 million barrels -> 20 days.

A few more decades? Well maybe, but remember the Persian Shia have been fighting the Sunnis for 14 centuries

You’d think that with oil prices going through the roof there would be less gaslighting

In his first term Putin was putting bounties on American soldiers and Trump ignored it.
