It turns out US Navy boats can’t handle rough seas either. farquaad-point

The US MIC really is showing us what they can do.

    a lifesaving mission that has seen over 1,000 metric tons of aid come in

    Wow, so a freeze dried 24h food brick, the most compacted and light weight food we can possible make, weigh like 1kg. So assuming this is all just survival ration bricks and no water or filters etc. They gave 1'000'000 24h/rations. So less than 50% of the people could eat for a whole day. And this is after several months of starvation.

    Amazing. Biden is really trying here, you guys.

    Edit: Even more realistic calculation: 2kg of water + 1kg of food brick = 3kg/person/day minimum. So we're talking a whooping 300'000 people could eat for a whole day, or ~12% of the population in Gaza could eat for a whole day.

      yeah it's a bit worse than that...

      The "mission" has been roughly 2 weeks, so that's maybe 75,000KG of food per day tops. This is about how much food all the people in Berea eat in a day.

        No no, you see Biden's weapons sales is pushing down the "demand" for food, so the 75k "supply" will be enough, we just need to reach the equilibrium point. I swear, tankies don't understand basic economics.
