That, the 60 day+ deployment time, and the goal of supplying 1m MREs daily to two million people when the rations mostly have to be halal are all details markedly absent in mainstream coverage I've seen. This is such a bad plan compared to just picking up the phone and saying "Israel won't exist tomorrow if you don't stop immediately."

I like that his bias seems to mostly be with unionised sailors. His geopolitical coverage is usually pretty critical of the US within the limited scope of the channel and he doesn't otherwise stan for one country/region in particular. By being industry-focused he was one of the first indications I saw that the Houthi attacks were working because he's coming at it from an insurance rate and throughput perspective. I haven't seen him list his politics but I get vaguely radlib vibes.

edit: He also seems to think that Hamas poses the only security risk to the ship despite the IOF already bombing a US Navy ship without consequences. When the Israelis bomb these ships in two months, I'm going to be very pedantic about his response. He hasn't otherwise said anything Zionist-adjacent and that could be reflecting that the Israelis let the airdrop campaign happen, but it immediately stood out to me that a maritime historian knows about the USS Liberty and should hate the Israeli military for entirely different reasons.
