Sal Mercogliano (WGOW Shipping) 🚢⚓🐪🚒🏴‍☠️
🚨Crews at risk in the Gulf🚨 Just heard from a crewmember on one of the 3,200 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf. A ship called the local port authority requested permission to dock as they had run out of water. They were denied permission! Multiple ships are in the same condition, with stores, food and fuel running low. Ports are overwhelmed and security is such that they are refusing permission for ships to dock. Crews cannot get off and reliefs cannot fly in. What is being done to address this matter @POTUS @SecWar @SecDuffy @DOTMARAD @IMOSecGen @IMOHQ.

@GBNT1952 Xi has also been on a purge of his rope generals and now some of his top scientists- most likely due to the performance of the equipment in Iran. They aren’t making any moves

@TheIntelFrog From what I remember we knew exactly where the sub went down but didn’t want to give it away because it would reveal our extensive underwater tracking abilities…

51 years ago today, the CIA mission to raise a Soviet submarine from the depths of the Pacific Ocean was exposed nationally. For the mission, Project AZORIAN, the CIA collaborated with Howard Hughes to build the GLOMAR EXPLORER to enable the government to recover the sub in secret. For more on Project AZORIAN, read here: cia.gov/stories/story/…

To some European or NATO leaders: No one said, Go to battle against Iran. But come, defend your bread, your water, your medicine. Fight your own fight and do not expect the hand of another, neither the Americans nor any, to do it for you. You are timid. Liars. Pharisees of diplomacy, preaching virtue while sowing death through inaction. Yes, Iran is dangerous with its missiles and drones. But when the nations marched against Libya to strike down Qaddafi, no fear of danger stopped them. Yet Libya did not close the Strait of Hormuz, did not choke 13% of EU gas, 4% of its oil, and did not hold humanitarian aid ransom. Compare the deeds! One dictator killed far fewer than the regime in Iran, which has spilled the blood of millions, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Americans, French, Germans, all nations under heaven. And you, O Europe, you want all the fruit but fear the thorns. You tremble at terminology, yet your deeds cry louder: timidity. You would let the region burn beneath the Iranian scourge, yet wag a finger and preach restraint. Grow up, leftist leaders. This is not revenge on Trump for his Ukraine stance. For once, act like leaders, not teenagers with hormones. Act like shepherds of your people, not goats led by whims. The UAE said it: we can stand, alongside the nations, to guard the Strait of Hormuz. Iran hurled its darts and fires upon us. We stopped Iran where it tried to stop us. Call us the Sparta of the Middle East, for we guard the gates while you hide behind scrolls and speeches. Remember: the flow of trade and the lifeblood of nations is a trust for all, not a responsibility for the idle. The river of commerce flows only when the hands of the brave keep the way clear, not when the timid pray from afar.

@grilli262 @GBNT1952 @ShawnRyan762 And there are likely only 2 time periods a year to pull off such an invasion due to weather. Additionally, Xi just purged most of his top generals a couple of months ago and just this week his top scientists that created rocket and radar forces.

“If I were Russia and China, I would let Iran play out longer. I would let the U.S. use more of its military warfighting capability, and then when they’ve played it down enough, I would go take Taiwan. It’s what they wanted to do for a long time, but we are kind of holding them back. If I were China, I would say, let’s let them play this out, we’ll let them get tired—once they’re tired, we’ll do what we want to do, and they won’t be able to stop us because they’re going to be too tired to come over here and do that.” @MichaelTLester

Background on the Hormuz Crisis You can skip this long section but know this: THIS IS ALL ABOUT SHIPS, SHIPS, SHIPS... and the US Navy giving them permission to pass. The Strait of Hormuz is twenty-one miles wide. Two shipping channels, each two miles across, separated by a two-mile buffer. The normal traffic separation scheme runs through Iranian territorial waters, past the islands of Qeshm and Larak, where the IRGC has radar stations, missile batteries, and fast-attack craft bases overlooking every transit. Twenty million barrels of oil and petroleum products flow through this gap every day. One-fifth of global consumption. There is no alternative. Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline to Yanbu and the UAE’s pipeline to Fujairah can handle maybe 5 million barrels combined. The math doesn’t work. The bottleneck is not political. It’s geological and hydrographic. When those seven P&I clubs belonging to the International Group issued 72-hour cancellation notices for war risk coverage in the Persian Gulf, they didn’t just raise costs. They made transit impossible. Here’s why. P&I clubs insure roughly 90% of the world’s ocean-going tonnage. Without their coverage, ships can’t sail. Port authorities won’t let them dock. Banks won’t finance the cargo. Charterers won’t book the vessel. The entire system, from loading berth to discharge terminal, is underwritten by a chain of contracts that begins with a club in London, Oslo, or Tokyo. When the clubs pulled war risk extensions on March 5, that chain broke. Not for a few ships. For the global fleet. War risk premiums jumped from 0.25% to 1% of hull value, renewable every seven days. VLCC charter rates quadrupled to nearly $800,000 per day. Over 1,000 vessels are now trapped in the Persian Gulf, burning charter costs with nowhere to go. By March 3, only four ships crossed the Strait, down from a seven-day average of seventy-seven. This is the part almost nobody in the media understands. Every TV analyst is talking about minesweepers and carrier strike groups. The binding constraint on Hormuz in the first week was not a minefield. It was spreadsheet in London. Then Trump did something remarkable. He ordered the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation to create a $20 billion maritime reinsurance facility, with Chubb as lead underwriter, making the United States government the insurer of last resort for Gulf shipping. A sovereign nation has positioned itself as the backstop for war risk insurance on the world’s most critical maritime chokepoint. The DFC facility, coordinated with CENTCOM and Treasury, offers hull, machinery, and cargo coverage on a rolling basis to eligible vessels. The United States now controls the on/off switch for the Strait of Hormuz. Not through naval firepower. Through insurance. But here’s the tell. The DFC facility covers hull, machinery, and cargo. It does not cover P&I liability: pollution, crew injury, third-party claims. Moody’s flagged this immediately. Without liability cover, most shipowners still won’t sail. The facility is deliberately incomplete. If the White House wanted the Strait fully open tomorrow, it could expand the DFC facility to cover P&I liability with one directive. It hasn’t. That gap is not an oversight. It’s a strike price on an option the administration is choosing not to exercise. Yet. But now that insurance is mostly settled the ships still aren't sailing. Why? That insurance isn't backed by the DFC, it's backed by a green light from the US Navy. A green light that hasn't appeared. Read the latest @DOTMARAD Navy warning carefully: U.S.-flagged, owned, or crewed commercial vessels that are operating in these areas should maintain a minimum standoff of 30 nautical miles from U.S. military vessels to reduce the risk of being mistaken as a threat They can't pass without Naval ships stepping aside to let them through.

@Cappyarmy I will have to disagree Chris- these are still the hardcore SS of the Iranian regime just because they aren’t a top leader doesn’t mean they don’t enforce extremism in the sectors of control. When they stop manning checkpoints then they’re safe.

Just thinking here out loud but , The problem with going down the chain from killing hardliner IRGC , to then killing Iran’s Basiji militia , ….to then killing Iranian police officers . You’re reaching a point where you’re no longer killing the leadership , you’re killing the Iranian people and the citizens families , many of whom are just trying to make a living and get by and manning a Basiji Militia checkpoint or police checkpoint doesn’t mean you want the Islamic republic in control. I dunno, what do you guys think ?

Oh, fuck off, Shawn. Save your glossy-eyed podcast sermon about "the most impactful statement" and "waking people up" for the gullible marks who still buy your ex-SEAL/CIA-contractor branding as some badge of unassailable wisdom. This wasn't Joe Kent's principled Damascus moment. This was a fucking leaker getting the boot he'd earned months ago, now wrapping his betrayal in sanctimonious prose to launder his reputation and fracture the administration from the inside. Axios reported it straight from senior White House officials: Kent had been suspected of leaking classified material, deliberately cut out of presidential briefings for months, sidelined like the security risk he was. He wasn't some lone wolf of conscience resigning in protest...he was already on the chopping block, access revoked, intel flow severed. His letter? A preemptive PR salvo, blaming "Israeli lobbying" and "no imminent threat" while conveniently ignoring the body count Iran's proxies have piled up: over 1,000 American dead since 1983...Beirut barracks, Khobar Towers, 603 in Iraq, three more in Jordan 2024, 180+ attacks on our forces just since October '23. Those aren't "misinformation." That's empirical blood on the mullahs' hands, with Hezbollah, Houthis, and Kataib Hezbollah as the delivery system. Psychologically, it's textbook leaker pathology: the narcissistic cocktail of ego, resentment, and selective amnesia. Kent...Green Beret, Gold Star husband whose wife paid the ultimate price in combat tied to the very threats he's now downplaying...knows the chain of command. He knows NCTC's mandate is to dismantle terrorism, not play armchair isolationist while enemies arm for the next strike. But the leaker's mind doesn't process loyalty; it processes grievance. He leaks to feel powerful, gets caught, gets isolated, then frames the ejection as moral courage. Classic projection...betray the team, then cry "I can't in good conscience" while the real conscience of the nation...the ones still in the fight...holds the line against a regime that's promised nukes, downed our drones, and plotted assassinations on U.S. soil. This isn't principle; it's the wounded ego's final fuck-you, timed for maximum damage and media sympathy. And you, Shawn? Your endorsement reeks of the same cognitive dissonance that turns former operators into enablers of fracture. You've built an empire on "truth-telling" from the shadows, yet here you are cheerleading a guy whose leaks undermined the very briefings that kept this administration ahead of the curve. Is it your own unresolved intel-world baggage talking? The SEAL who romanticizes the "strong resignation" because it fits the lone-wolf mythos that pads your episodes? Or just the algorithm's siren call...engagement from the anti-lobby crowd, even if it means torching unity when Iran’s proxies are still active and Americans are still in their crosshairs? Either way, it's venomous horseshit. Principles demand fidelity to the mission, not to the leaker's exit interview. Joe Kent didn't wake anyone up. He signaled weakness to Tehran, emboldened every proxy with a rocket, and handed our enemies a propaganda win on a silver platter. The war isn't some Israeli puppet show...it's the overdue bill for four decades of American blood. Kent's "reflection" was damage control; his resignation was inevitable expulsion dressed as valor. Fuck that. Real operators don't leak. Real leaders don't fracture mid-fight. And real commentators don't peddle the leaker's fairy tale as heroism. 🗡️💀
Shawn Ryan@ShawnRyan762

Sometimes the most impactful statement you can make is a strong resignation. It's unfortunate it's come down to this. God's speed @joekent16jan19 I hope this wakes some people up.

Handheld radio, powered by Starlink... L3Harris has unveiled the XL-300P, the first P25 land mobile radio with native 5G and satellite direct-to-device (D2D) connectivity. It will support Starlink via T-Mobile's "T-Satellite" service, it guarantees first responders ultimate triple-layered redundancy (P25, cellular, satellite) so they never lose critical communications.
