SCOOP: The Pentagon failed to warn ships carrying supplies for the US military before starting the war in Iran.

The ships got stuck in the Persian Gulf.

They’re still stuck. And for a month, they were stuck w/ a group of college students — merchant marine cadets.

Well, I'm sure they sent the students a Signal chat, to tell them to chill, all would be fine.....

Wait, are you telling me that reality star/lumberjack Sean Duffy, Director of Transportation, didn’t know about these ships?
Loyalty to the POTUS is destroying this country.

The main ship in question is the M/V APL Eagle, which is owned by APL Maritime LTD, which in turn is owned by a French company CMS-CGM, headquartered in Marseille.

CMA-CGM is mostly owned by the Saade family, originally from Lebanon.

Well, how could they issue a warning when the attacks resulted not from a rigorously vetted military ops plan but from indulging the momentary whim of a whiny, insecure man-baby?

The key part of this is “The Pentagon failed”. That’s what happens when the secdef and commander in chief are incompetent and stupid.

The full extent of this utter and massive failure is going to take years to realize. There is zero transparency in this administration.

It turns out running the Department of Defense isn’t just a push-ups contest.
