选民在前往投票站时对汽油价格感到不满，媒体界现在已视为不证自明的真理：与伊朗的战争对美国而言是一场必输的仗，除了投降别无良策。因此，值得关注的是，美国海军布拉德·库珀上将本周通报，自今夏以来，美国已帮助其海湾盟友出口了15亿桶石油。
Voters aren’t happy about gasoline prices as they head to the polls, and it’s now axiomatic in the press that the Iran war is a loser for the U.S. with no good choices except capitulation. So it’s worth noting U.S. Navy Adm. Brad Cooper’s update this week that the U.S. has helped its allies in the Gulf export 1.5 billion barrels of oil since this summer.
库珀上将周五在一段视频中说：“我最近飞越霍尔木兹海峡时，看到数十艘商船正在通过——各种类型，货船、原油船、液化天然气船或LNG船。” 他没看到的是：伊斯兰革命卫队。“完全没有。” 他指的是伊朗的伊斯兰革命卫队。与此同时，伊朗海军“全都在海底了。” 伊朗出口的记分牌？零蛋。
“When I flew over the Strait” recently, Adm. Cooper said in a video on Friday, “I saw dozens of commercial vessels transiting—all types, cargo, crude oil, liquid natural gas or LNG.”What he didn’t see: The IRGC. “At all.”He’s referring to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Meanwhile, Iran’s Navy “is all at the bottom of the sea.”The score-board for Iranian exports? Bupkis.
