Project Freedom Paused After One Day (No Takers?)

The plan to escort commercial ships through the Strait has been paused after approximately 24 hours. Trump says it is temporarily paused because Iran wants to negotiate.

Does anyone believe that? Could it really be because there are no takers? As soon as the operation began Iran started firing on ships. It seems even with a military escort it is to dangerous to attempt and insurance coverage is not available.

Edit: There is a backlog of approximately 1600 ships. At yesterday's rate we can have those cleared out in about 2 1/2 years. The only way things return to normal is for the Strati to be completely open. It doesn't look like that is going to happen until Iran says it will. If donnie wants to negotiate he's going to have to give something up.

Paused at the request of Pakistan and other countries doing their best to mediate between Iran and the USA.

Interviewed on BBC Radio Four's news programme Today, this morning, an American analyst - not a politician - made two telling comments:

One was that President Trump does not plan policies but operates on impulse.

The other was that the war trying to prevent Iran from making a "weapon of mass destruction" (nuclear), has given Iran an alternative weapon of mass destruction (oil, the lack of).

@ArishMell BBC radio 4, I wouldn’t rely on the BBC for my news, it’s basically state owned, an arm of the government,

And It’s paused because Benito can’t risk defending a feakin’ oil tanker by wasting a million dollar missile to take out a $30,000 drone.

Iran could easily launch 100 drones just to bleed US munitions dry.

Well, you know when you have a winning strategy, the first thing you do is suspend it, then change it, and then deny you ever had that strategy. It's what all the cool kids do. Just ask Boy-Lindsey Graham.

As the old saying goes, if you aim at nothing you'll hit nothing ... Just think how much better the world was before mango Muppet decided to make things better
