Okay... I was listening you your diatribe on using Ashdod as a port for the Gaza strip... But that gives Israel power over what gets through. If "infrastructure" isn't built by someone for Gaza, they will always be under the knife of the Israelis and Egyptians. Say... you want to build a factory in the Gaza Strip... making widgets. You're saying that any product coming out of Gaza must go through Israel. Building a port... even a temporary port, is a step in encouraging international investors to see Gaza as a potential place to build a factory to make widgets. As such a port can only improve the lives of the people of Gaza, why should they be forced to pay extortion to Israel to participate in the global market? Now, I'm definitely no fan of Hamas and what happened on October 7, but providing a means of import and export for the people of Gaza has the potential to dramatically improve their future economic viability in the global marketplace... without having to kowtow to either the Israelis or Egyptians. Ports like this, developed over time, can cut the stranglehold extremist groups like Hamas has over these people. So Biden's move may well be the one hope that truly frees the people of Gaza.

The US Army has great plans, will they survive contact with the enemy?

FYI, Korea and Japan does not build copies of Burke-class destroyers. They do build Aegis warships, but their latest ships are much larger and more sophisticated than the old Ali Burke class. Korea guarantees loans to revive their commercial shipping industry after the collapse of Hanjin Shipping. This is not the same as subsidizing their shipbuilding industry.

China is the only country having the full industrial production subsidiaries according to UN’s official calculation.

Preparing offshore drilling rigs

*My mom just freaked out because she got a message on her phone, a "automated saftey" message saying that at 5pm, today, there are going to be small controlled explosions on the MV DALI. If you are within 2000 yards from the bridge, to wear ear protection. We may see black smoke....* *For some reason my phone did not get the message.*

They're doing this at 5:00 PM Eastern today. One hour from now.

I told you this the first week. And now what you are saying is that all the people who said "blow it up" the first week of the incident, of which you said would not happen and laughed at the thought....is now going to happen.

The US has a rather small shipping fleet, and all the companies with these huge ships aren’t American. Having bigger ports to accommodate these ships benefits these foreign companies, who would be getting the profits from bigger economies of scale. The US only gets marginal benefits like potentially cheaper shipping to (HA!) and from Asia. I dont think there’s a huge incentive to get these huge ships into American ports, especially with the growing protectionism and the trend for near-shoring.

It's not wartime. Labor is lazy. Plain and simple.

The USA really cares ......yeah right! This isn't about delivering aid - this is about moving two million people to Europe.

Why didn’t they do this in first place instead of torches? And how about the shear that’s cuts up steel seems like government mismanagement

It never should have happened from the get go. The harbor is to blame for the neglect of Dali. And the bridge. She should have been escorted by 4 tug boats to safely make it clear under the bridge. Shame on the Harbor !

What is biden going to do to help the American middle class who are suffering from biden economic policies ?

Union problem ?

Certain air carriers are using a lithium fire effective fire extinguisher to be initiated by temperature in an airtight freight box. The size and box would have to be adjusted for cars of course.

25:24 I think that country of Morocco could be a great ship building country for the US. Only positives and no negatives. It is an Allie of the US. Labour there is very cheap. Young and growing population that has a lot of educated people in Europe. Large population of 38+ million people. Country faces both medetteranialn sea and Atlantic ocean. US is just across from the Atlantic ocean. Also no major players like China or Russia in the region.

Seems to me they could narrow the channel so ships would run aground before hitting any bridges

So what reason would the US Navy have to not have bow thrusters? Anyone? Thanks.

China is building a thorium-powered container ship, once it's successfully, they will move onto nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Thorium Molten-Salt reactor has many advantages over the traditional nuclear reactor, namely safety and there are plenty more thorium than uranium on the planet, it will keep the cost down. It's a very clever move.

Loy In Soy Own Its God cur.. you

You have your ship sizes wrong

should be build on like minded nation with or treaty allies

It's true that China doesn't have a lot of combat experience, but so does the U.S. doesn't have any experience fighting a near peer rival (a nuclear state). All the wars that U.S. fought since the WWII had been lower rank militaries, some of these countries/groups didn't even have a proper army, i.e. Nicaragua, Haiti, Somalia, ISIS just to name a few.

Insane there are no bow thrusters. The navy cutting its nose off to save money in a single fiscal year. Yet we give Ukraine 100s of billions each year. Ridiculous.

China's Type--003 Aircraft Carrier is on sea trial now.

Government subsidies are not limited to China. All countries are doing that. The issue seldom mentioned is technology and capacity. Ship building requires so much heavy industry capabilities. Ships are built by people and machines. A large numbers of engineers and diligent workers are the foundation of successful government subsidies. This is why US fails so miserably because its education system does not produce competitive edge in manufacturing.

Every Empire reaches it sink hole moment 😂😂😂

Every Empire reaches it sink hole moment 😂😂😂

The reason why China leads: 0. mark up numbers + collapsing economy, 1. Subsidies, 2. Stealing technology including stealing future technology using a time machine, 3. Cheap labor, 4. forced labor, very recently 5. over capacity. I wonder what new reason will be next.

This is ridiculous, first we arm the people at Tax Payer expense, who smash the regular infrastructure. Then we build a float dock, at Tax Payer expense once again, to bring in food? Sounds to me like the American Tax Payer is getting it coming and going 😎💯👈

So, whos paying for all of this? Isnt the shipping company responsible? Just asking. I do not know...

Is this secretly an exit strategy for a million refugees?

Not one once of aid until all American hostages are released. There was a time when the entire world knew it wasn’t worth it to hurt an American but why should the terrorist care if we don’t. Why are American lives not important anymore? Afghanistan,Africa and Gaza plus what we don’t know about.

No aid for Gaza, ever.

Then japan remembers their past and true identity. Also remembers this time they out produce US military. Then Japan and China join forces and divides south Asia among them

Glad somebody else is paying attention to this stuff! And, other stuff like undersea cables that have had unidentified subs skulking around them. I've heard that China is building ice breakers, what to they need ice breakers for?

I do not like wind turbines and I am guessing the Captain of that ship doesn't either, they are a very expensive solution to a non-existing problem.

Sen. Roger Wicker championed these Littoral lemons on the taxpayers. He's got us in a few wars now also, along with Graham & McConnell.

Tax payers money supporting a terrorist country

I have work on Chinese ships in the past and let me tell you they look good and we're all painted up nice but they are constantly breaking down because of poor quality workmanship you can paint anything you want and do what you want but let me tell you something they use a lot of Calking to hide a lot of The poor quality workmanship

Australians love cruising.

The army is not the navy brother...How did the army sink its fleet???😂😂😂

All things considered… the port, the size of the ship, and limited tug services. I’m not surprised this can happen.

“Aid” haha that’s funny. They are going to remove the rubble that is Gaza and build Israel’s new Dubai-like beach resort city. Palestine is being erased in real-time. Don’t be fooled.

Hiya, Sally..Sal, informed sources (cough, Ensign Pulver) are sayin' a Military SealiftCommand vessel, the Al Shepard hit ground in tha'..Khalifa Binned Real Good Salman Rushdie port of Bahrain.. furthermore an' henceforth, sources report tha' Capn' had stepped away for som' comestible n' fat chewin'...is tha' stuff tru', Sal?...

thanks for all the hard work!

Hollywood is finished

Imagine wasting all that money, man power, and resources when there are literally trucks on land u could utilize 🤦🏽

The Pope is not here yet !
