yo, Sal, it would be nice if the Strait would be open and we can get our oil.
The journalist there says: China [CCP] is exerting pressure. China [CCP} is dependent on the US.
I guess it is worse than that.
Financial route:
Hongkong and Macau, and some other exotic places, all converge onto London-Amsterdam.
The other part:
CCP reserves are falling.
=> Marine oil, airplane fuel and of course industry [but that could be supplied by Russia in 2-5 years by a new pipeline.
By the way, during the second world war, Curacao, an small Island belonging to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, provided 40% of the airplane oil .... And Venezuelan oil could no longer be brought to Europe / Germany because of a blockade. Germany had to solve the oil problem in a different way.
Just to give an idea:
OKW calculated that operation Barbarossa would have a duration of 3 months. After that the oil would be gone. and the blitzkrieg would come to a grinding halt.
It is a but like Patton experienced when his oil requirements were cut due to Operation Market Garden.
In other words: if there is ever a question of : why did they not do this or that? Think of it as an empty gas tank. It is quite a powerful argument.
Such an argument also has a calming effect on runaway panican thinkers who project all kinds of invasion scenarios.
Anyway, CCP gets some oil but much more expensive, and can not leech as much as it used to. Meaning, their entire internal system is destabilizing. And they already have a lot of problems ....
In a sense, this is turning a reframed Hegelian dialectic onto those who preferably use it on weaker parties and their own population. Multiply CCP problems, exacerbate them, then then .... serve them your solution. It's funny, isn't it.
It also has the effect that the goods produced by CCP, increase in price. Meaning, local production begins to become quite interesting. Put on a tariff in the calculation and all of a sudden, local production is alive and kicking. Nice MAGA bonus, right?
It becomes even funnier when we add in, the question: What if Potus is coordinating with China and Russia. I mean, it's not that Trump never said anything.
He's been saying it for decades.
We should have kept the oil.
If so, then it becomes even more clear why this move on Iran's oil. And it should become clear that Trump knew, even back in the 80/90-ties, how the system works. How money moves.
And quite frankly: it is the same argument often discussed with Crypto:
no electricity: no crypto. i.e. the underlying assumption is: abundance of energy. Now think of all the billions pored into this asset-class.
no silicon. rare earth's, no chips, no mining, no crypto.
Now think of all the billions pored into this asset-class.
Energy is the foundation.
The financial system is based on the premise that scarcity increases price. And since Adam Smith it is quite clear that scarcity creates a willingness to depart of high effort gained income to obtain scarce goods. In an economy of scarcity, people become slaves, all chasing the same goods and services.
Make energy abundant, and the reason for fighting becomes ....
Final kicker
Question: And what does the UK/EU do? What do these Rules based international order globalists do? Strangle their own people while burdening their lands with immigrants, windmills and lack of jobs.
Xi calling Bin Salman with the message:

I see a bright bright future for the UK/EU.
