RantWoman is lazy and not pulling out summary points.
Each video is worth the time.
Lots of escalation dimensions and dynamics promoting continuation of war
Example analyses from William Spaniel
And Vlad Vexler is well enough to be posting!

Whats going on in Shipping as of today.
#Iran #Russia
Sal Mercogliano is BY FAR the most reliable and concise source of info about Global shipping RantWoman has found. YouTube first delivered a one of Sal's video when there was a boat headed up the West Coast drawing protests because it supposedly was carrying weapons to Israel for the Gaza war. RantWoman and wondered about the shipping route and formed the opinion, thanks to Sal, that claims about arms shipments should be looked at more carefully. RantWoman has not chased down further info about that particular vessel.
There is PLENTY of other news. This video in a nutshell
--Sal dissects the latest claims from President #StableGenius about the number of ships actually making progress around the Strait of Hormuz. The answer, not as many as the President claims and, RantWoman imagines, the lies are intended to calm the oil markets at least temporarily.
--In this video Sal doesn't mention the humanitarian crisis he has documented elsewhere of all the vessels stuck in the Persian Gulf and running out of supplies. Measures to address the needs of the stranded crews, to RantWoman seem like an obvious easy first step to create a greater sense of safe navigation than currently exists. Addressing this humanitarian matter could POSSIBLY also ease a little bit a sense of global outrage as poorer countries try to absorb all the disruptions in world energy markets. Pricing will probably still be a mess but at least someone is looking out for all the crews on all these internationally flagged and crewed vessels.
--Sal says "send in the US military." It's not clear to RantWoman, send in who to do what? Sal is not required to be a politician. That said, SOME mention of getting Congressional buy-in seems HIGHLY on point.
--Longer term, RantWoman hesitates about appearing rhetorically aligned with the #AmericaFirst crowd. Nevertheless, 1. Why should it be the US alone trying to enforce anything anywhere? 2. The US has PLENTY we could be doing with our tax dollars if we weren't draining the Treasury to the tund of #2Billion / day.
-SO much uncertainty, which is triply irritating since President #StableGenius is busy cancelling renewable energy projects every way he can, doing everything he can to cancel anything that would make the US less dependent on oil and gas.
--Short comment about loosening sanctions, the UK monitoring the Russian shadow fleet, and Ukraine continuing to attack Russian oil trade infrastructure.
RantWoman will go off separately about the Secretary of #WarCrimes and a certain recent prayer session.

What? We have bombed the S**T our of the place and Iran is still controlling the Strait of Hormuz
"a flock of geese vs a horde of gnats."
What will it take to convince ship captains itis safe to cross the strait.
