Of course you are. No sense in supporting your facts with, uh, facts.


I applaud anyone showing there is some basis for what they say, including Dope. Infinitely preferable to the "because I say so" some people adopt. The article Dope linked to, contained a link to a NYT article. I had heard about the "70 ships in three weeks", but had not read, before, the detail about the US helping them.

In any event, the number of ships escaping was trivial, compared to pre-war traffic. Trump bragging about it has made Iran more vigilant, to strangle traffic in the Strait even more.
