This will mean that U.S. Atlantic fleet and NATO warships will require almost two more weeks to get to The Battle of Taiwan.
By then, it will be over.

Days after the Ever Given became lodged in the canal, its rudder has been freed and dredging is complete. Some salvagers hope it could be freed this weekend, but the wait for shipping to resume continues.
Egyptian authorities Wednesday were engaged in a complicated effort to dislodge a giant container ship stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking all traffic on one of the world’s busiest shipping arteries.
The huge vessel got stuck in the canal sideways, with its bow wedged in one bank and its stern nearly touching the other, on Tuesday during a dust storm when wind speeds reached 40 knots, according to a person familiar with the incident.
When the Ever Given container ship ran aground in the Suez Canal on Tuesday, its bulk blocking shipping traffic through the key global thoroughfare, the world looked on, wondering how the authorities would manage to unstick the behemoth.
Days later, the vessel is still stuck, amid a frantic effort to free it, and fears over the cascading costs of the fallout. Already, shipping analysts estimated, the traffic jam has held up nearly $10 billion in trade each day.
Vessels packed with the world’s goods — including cars, oil, livestock and laptops — usually flow through the waterway with ease, supplying much of the globe as they transverse the quickest path from Asia and the Middle East to Europe and the East Coast of the United States.
Lots of conspiracies were told about the ship and it seems the news that we have from China will raise even more suspicion.
A photo on Weibo in mainland China went viral today (27). A truck carrying an "Evergreen container" was stuck on the highway, staged a road version of the "Evergreen" scene.
In the photo, it can be seen that the truck on the highway was photographed and downloaded with the "Evergreen Container". A squeezed SUV stuck on the edge of the road. The car from the rear was affected by the accident, and it was difficult to pass and nobody could move. According to the monitoring data, the accident occurred at about 9:55 this morning, and the accident site was on the Nanjing section of the Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway which is one of China's busiest highways.

Long queues on the expressway due to car accidents are not very rare. But now that the Evergreen freighter is still blocking the Suez Canal, a similar accident is happening again, which inevitably makes everyone feel that the timing is too close, even it could be just a coincidence.
There were a lot of discussions.
People left messages saying, "Sea and land are blocked", "Awesome, monopolistic enterprise, in a physical sense", "Will Evergreen go to hell?", "Evergreen should pay more attention", " It’s exactly the same as the posture of a freighter going sideways.
What do you think?

The CCP has a sideways sense of humour recently
EVERGREEN is NOT CHI-COMMESE. Evergreen is Taiwanese.
EVA Air is the same company.
Last night I was thinking what would happen if a terror group or even China or Iran blew up some ships in the Suez and Panama Canals at the same time.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.
This was a deliberate event.
Now, where is my mask?
But have no fear, President Harris and CornPop have a plan and will solve this problem in short order.
Out previous President would already have dredges and construction crews working 24/7 to solve this.
Shame so many Republicans in state governments were willing to roll over for the Left and deliver us CornPop, Harris, Warnock, and Ossoff
Ha ha ha. Right next to your tinfoil hat which is in the black van parked in fro t of your house.
This will mean that U.S. Atlantic fleet and NATO warships will require almost two more weeks to get to The Battle of Taiwan.
By then, it will be over.
Dan Scavino has been tweeting a pic of a boat in a harbor and captioned watch the water. I’m hearing they are going to start opening up containers on the Ever Given with the expectation of finding children.
Our current carriers cannot fit in the Panama Canal so that is a non issue.
Why does the media keep calling this ship the “Ever GIVEN” when it says “EverGREEN” on its side?
There are ways of clearing strategic waterways in a hurry, but you better stand back.
One is the name of the ship and the other is the name of the shipping company.
“Why does the media keep calling this ship the “Ever GIVEN” when it says “EverGREEN” on its side?”
I was confused too but the shipping company is Evergreen, the name of the vessel is apparently Ever Given. I should have known. Having the company name on the side is very common.
On the bow, in smaller letters, it says "Evergiven".
Maybe Evergreen in another language?
My understanding is the old part of the Suez Canal is being used to route traffic. Granted, larger ships like the one that’s jammed can’t get through but both channels would have to be disabled to be effective.
The ship is owned by the Evergreen Marine Corp, a Taiwanese container transportation and shipping company that owns 39 shipping vessels. Of its large fleet of ships, 20 are named in the format of “Ever” + [a word that begins with a G]. Other ships owned by Evergreen Marine include the “Ever Goods,” “Ever Gaining,” and the “Ever Giant.”
Hope this clears things up.
As I’ve recently posted as a comment, this is almost a 1930’s redux...
That map image is almost identical to the one the japs employed...
So we do know where it will probably end... Non-nuclear war & unconditional surrender...
This time there will be no Times Square celebrations...
The celebrations will be in Tienimen Square...
