Shut off three chokepoints and you shut off a good portion of the world’s oil flow. From Chris MacIntosh at internationalman.com:
- The Houthis in Yemen tried to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
- Then Hezbollah droned his house. Apparently, he was not at home at the time.
- Iran launched an unprecedented missile attack on Israel. The part you probably didn’t hear about is that Iran says a “state of war” now exists between them and Israel.
- France ended all arms exports to Israel, and the Israel’s pissed and subsequently bombed a French factory in Syria — an F you and no thanks for all the previous arms shipments and military aid.
- Russia sent 33 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Lebanon.
- Israel bombed Syria’s capital, Damascus.
- Erdogan compared Israel with the Nazis.
I’ve probably missed a whole lot of things, but you get the picture. None of the above is good in any shape or form.
This last point I pay a lot of attention to, and here’s why. Turkey has the second largest military in NATO, and it’s clearly going to leave or be kicked out. Turkey also controls the Bosphorus, and Iran controls the strait of Hormuz. The Houthis effectively now (to some extent at least) control the Suez. That, my friends, is the holy trinity of supply disruption in oil shipments.
What else?
Netanyahu’s bellicose policies will lead to the destruction of Israel and the Jews.Jews have been expelled from different countries throughout the centuries. Why do you think?
Yea, but could you imagine Kamalalala at the helm during all this!
Scarier than any horror movie and I like the ones that are funny and scary all at once.
Turkey getting the boot because they are friends with Russia and bought the S-400?
Trading partners gonna trade and do business.
How they [controllers] hate that Russia after getting kicked out for looting and contributing nothing to the Motherland.
What a bunch of ingrate parasites.
