some things get posted (like the OP below) that prompt some other questions: "and how much does all that 110 days, if it is/was done as you say, cost the USA taxpayer" reponse from the internet: "... Based on the operational data from May to August 2026, the cost to U.S. taxpayers for escorting ~1,300 ships is estimated between $1.5 billion and $2.2 billion. This figure is derived from the specific "surge" posture required to maintain the 12 ships-per-day flow you identified: The Daily "Burn Rate" To sustain the covert corridor along the Omani coast, the U.S. maintained a high-intensity presence: Air Cover: Continuous patrols by carrier-based aircraft (from the USS Abraham Lincoln) and land-based drones. With ~100 sorties daily for surveillance and rapid response, air operations add ~$8–10 million daily. Total Daily Cost: Approximately $14–16 million per day for the dedicated escort force. The 110-Day Total Duration: Early May to August 23, 2026 (~110 days). Base Operational Cost: $15 million/day × 110 days = ~$1.65 billion. ** munitions & Overhead:** This base figure does not include the cost of interceptors fired during attacks (e.g., SM-2/SM-6 missiles at $2–4 million each) or the strategic deployment costs of the Carrier Strike Group itself. Adding a conservative buffer for munitions and logistics brings the total to roughly $2 billion. Contextual Scale Cost Per Ship: At ~$2 billion total for 1,300 ships, the U.S. spent approximately $1.5 million per escorted vessel. Comparison: This is significantly cheaper than the cost of a major conflict (the broader war effort has exceeded $25 billion), but it represents a massive, unbudgeted surge in operational spending for a single maritime corridor. Conclusion: The logistical feat of escorting 1,300 ships was not only physically possible but cost the U.S. taxpayer roughly $1.5–2 billion over the 3.5-month period, averaging about $14–18 million per day in direct operational expenses. ..." (from brave search bot - so take with a pinch of salt) the full cost of these 'dirty attacks' by USA on Iran (as it isn’t constitutionally a war, as no declaration has been made), since it started, is estimated to be $200billion+ and that might be an underestimation. #hormuz #iran #usa #cost #taxpayer #wef #un #nato #trump #fubar @Tracybeanz @RealStewPeters @davidkurten @PrisonPlanet etc
