  5. Suez was the death knell for the British empire. Hormuz may do the same for the US

  6. Happy Ever Given Day!

  7. Why Does the US Give Egypt Military Aid, But Not Economic Aid? | The Hastening Rewind

    https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6f-Zfb5py-A That boat getting stuck in the Suez Canal was actually what spawned this whole idea of crypto-imperialism that the Hastening is all about. Isn't the canal the main point of spending all that money on Egypt's military, from a US perspective? Israel is the other big factor there (the US needs an Egyptian government that does what Israel says and maintains the peace accords, in spite of overwhelming Egyptian public opposition to that). But keeping […]

  8. Hmm, the Houthis in Yemen 🇾🇪 announced they want to support Iran 🇮🇷 by closing down the Bab El-Mandeb strait. Basically the passage from and to the Suez Canal. World economy RIP.

  9. Sanctioned Russia LNG Cargo Heads to Suez on Shadow-Fleet Vessel

    " Sanctioned Russian vessels have been taking riskier routes to cut travel times and costs. China has been the only taker of the banned Russian fuel, with 15 cargoes received from the Arctic LNG 2 project since August, ship-tracking data show. "

    Photo theme: a sandy affair.

    From 2019 and our cruise through the Suez Canal which started off in thick fog that thankfully burnt off as we headed south.

  11. With waters at 32C, Mediterranean tropicalization shifts into high gear

    "We were at a depth of 30 meters (100 feet) this morning and the water was 29C," said Draman, a diving instructor in an area which is experiencing firsthand the rapid #tropicalization of the #Mediterranean Sea.

    Encouraged by increasingly warm waters, hundreds of species native to the #RedSea have moved through the #SuezCanal and into the eastern Mediterranean, disrupting #ecosystems, scientists say.

    The threat is facing the entire Mediterranean, one of the fastest-warming seas, which this year saw its hottest June and July on #record, figures from the Mercator Ocean International research center show.

    Draman, who remembers when the water temperatures were 25C in August in the early 2000s, said he had seen dozens of Red Sea species colonizing the clear waters of #Antalya where surface temperatures reached nearly 32C this week.

  12. Just when you thought he couldn't get stupider or more historically ignorant...

    His Orangeness Mango Mussolini, the Melon Felon, has a bee in his bonnet [1] about canals, but it's not just about #Panama now. On his social network - a fork of Mastodon, of course - he wrote:

    > American Ships, both Military and Commercial, should be allowed to travel,
    > free of charge, through the Panama and Suez Canals! Those Canals would
    > not exist without the United States of America.

    The Panama canal, maybe.

    The Suez canal, however, was proposed by a #Frenchman, financed primarily by #Europeans, built by forced and voluntary labour sourced from countries in the region under the management of the French, and then operated by a French company with a contract for 99 years.

    The USA had absolutely #zilch to do with the Suez canal. Which is probably for the best, because the USA was kind busy fighting its own civil war and then the #reconstruction that followed it - the canal was built from 1859 to 1869.

    So, Mr. Trump: pull your head out of your ass, admit your ignorance, apologize to Egypt, France, and the rest, and slink off to your history-free corner of D.C. with your tail between your legs.

    [1] Maybe it's good he has a bee in there. There isn't much else rattling around in that particular bone soap dish.

  17. > It’s the key to the control of almost all shipping between the #IndianOcean and the #MediterraneanSea via the #SuezCanal. Recent drone attacks on commercial shipping in the Bab el Mandeb by Yemen-based Houthi forces have prompted a coalition led by the United States to launch military strikes against targets controlled by the militants.

    (2/3)

    ...on civilian #freighters of non-combattant nations has all but closed the prime route through the #SuezCanal. The only remaining open route is, tediously, around #Africa.

    The #Kremlin part-financed the #Hamas' #WarCrimes last October, effectively deflecting global attention away from the real theater of war: #Ukraine.

    The #Houthi #terrorists must be rooted out #ASAP.

    This is not going to be accomplished by a handful of #warships.

    This...

  19. Good morning #shipping & #logistics fans;

    you'll recall the disruption caused by the grounding of the #EverGiven a couple of years ago in #SuezCanal;

    well this morning tug boats are trying to move the bulk carer Xin Hai Tong 23 which likewise has run aground in the canal & is restricting access to the route.

    Currently showing as 'not under command' on trackers, while apparently its still able to be moved to some extent, another week of panic, disruption & #supplychain chaos looms....
