Maniacs rule the roost

Nat South is preparing a sitrep on the maritime and naval aspects of the ongoing saga relating to the Strait of Hormuz.  If all goes well, this will be out on Monday.

For now, a few visuals on the current situation and a poem for the much needed cultural expression.  Thanks Nat!  Looking forward to your sitrep!

Insightful policymaking, basically done on the ‘hoof’ from Washington.

F-35, F-117  “Sorry we didn’t know it was invisible” . Supreme high-tech versus old or indigenous technology.  Over two decades apart, the same resilience and resourcefulness.

Lastly a poem

* “on the hoof” — on the spur of the moment, often refers to things done while moving or without preparation.
