Ships going thru the Strait of Hormuz should have to pay for the cost of US Navy ships, aircraft and missiles and munitions. That's extremely expensive and wears out our planes quickly. Fighter planes are $25,000 to $40,000 an hour to fly. No joke. Missiles are a couple hundred thousand dollars to a million dollars each. There are at least 3 fighters patrolling and AWACS airborne 24/7 and more launched for missions. US taxpayers are paying that now, why, so private shipping companies can ship their ships while we provide free security costing us what? a billion dollars a day? And the Middle East laughs at how we naively let ourselves be suckered in, distracted from China and Ukraine, squandering our resources.
Let Iran close the Strait, which will focus world opinion against Iran. It will also save US Navy from expending most of our arsenal of million dollar missiles and ammo on cheap Iranian drones, which is also part of their strategy. US has its own oil and refining: we won't need to raise domestic prices. We should be telling the world we prevented Iran from making nuclear bombs, not apologizing. btw I'm a Democrat.

My NFT was on Metamask. Transferring computers I can no longer find it. Any suggestions how to bring it up?
