Here's the problem: almost all of us have this same back door in our security. Now it's in the open, could we all be targets?

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

US just lost about 10% of commercial fuel/petro logistic capabilities. To an incident that has some quite glaring qualities.
I don't often say BREAKING, but this qualifies.

STENA IMMACULATE was ~10% of the capacity of the Tanker Security Program, a program instated just over a year ago designed to secure capacity to supply fuel to US armed forces in times of conflict.
STENA IMMACULATE was one of 10 ships, she is no more and hence the US DOD fuel autonomy just shrank.

The M/V Stena Immaculate, hit today in the North Sea while at anchor by Portuguese flagged cargo vessel SOLONG, carried fluid cargo for the U.S. Department of Defense, substantiating earlier reporting that responders on scene had reported jet fuel as an accelerant.
