Just a straight path up the middle or such. Seems doable. Maybe something they have can do the job.

How about go grab the Iranian tankers and various ships, line them up beside one another, and make passes up and down the area of concern. Seems like a no brainer to me. Once it is complete, I might drop a mine at the port in their parking spot.
winner!


The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

However this is supposed to work we are about to find out. The blockade officially begins at 10:00 EST.

Could be worse, reports out of California showing $9.00+ in some places.



Ueah but there taxs are a lot to blame . People voted for thst . Ny too


In NY you can't pump your own gas. That drives up cost too

You've got New York mistaken for New Jersey

If we have a device that can detect a heartbeat at 40 miles surely we have something that can detect mines in the water a couple miles away. maybe these underwater drones have alien technology that lets them go 200 mph under water. Should be able to make quick work of it.

I would expect to see Chinese warships escorting their tankers thru the strait shortly. China will not stand for a blockade of their oil tankers.

you can absolutely pump your own gas in New York State. Unlike New Jersey, New York allows self-service at most stations. While the town of Huntington in Long Island has a local ban restricting self-service, this is the exception. Most NY stations allow you to use a credit card directly at the pump.



Key details:
Self-Service Availability: Self-service is common, but many stations also provide full-service options.
Long Island Restriction: The town of Huntington is known for its ban on self-service, requiring attendants to fuel cars, which has existed since the 1970s.
"Hold Open" Clips: As of 2025, a, new bill is looking to allow the use of "hold open" clips (or "hands-free" hooks) on gas nozzles, which were previously restricted in NY.
Other Restrictions: As noted in, some areas still have fire code restrictions regarding the "hold open" clips on pumps
