The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

...and that's not going down well with China!

wsj.com - Two chinese supertankers go off course near hormuz strait after navigation systems jammed

Half a dozen ships have diverted course on the way to the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial waterway connecting the energy-rich Persian Gulf to global markets since Sunday, according to shipping officials, analysts and marine-tracking data. Iranian lawmakers reportedly threatened its closure on Sunday.

Two Chinese-operated very large crude carriers went off course as they tried to enter the strait after their navigation systems were jammed as a result of military operations in Iran.

Whoops.
The problem with electronic jamming is that it's area-based and indiscriminate. They can't jam a US ship and not jam a Chinese ship at the same time.

About 50% of China's oil comes through...the Gulf. If Iran starts mining it or attacking transports ships, China is hurt the most.
