More to come. This narrative is in its infancy, but I think it’s got long legs.

“Fertilization by drone?”

Ukrainian drones, Ukrainian fertilizer. I think that is two of their top exports. Zelensky saves the world from Trump.

Agreed. I’ll believe there’s a food crisis only after the govt ends their fallow land programs. I don’t know how much simpler I can make that.

A tanker might cost $100 million. There are about 8 billion people in the world. That tanker would cost about a penny a person.

If Iran was able to sink a tanker each day, it would cost the world economy about a penny a person per day.

“a growing backlog of aging tonnage that is expected to head for the breaking yards in the coming years. Included in the backlog are hundreds of tankers operating in the so-called dark fleet”

https://shipbreakingplatform.org/platform-publishes-list-2025/

There are hundreds of tankers of little value available for Strait transit use. These tankers might proceed to India, which is a short trip away. The oil can be shipped on from India as Russian oil has been.

If we attack Iran’s petrochemical infrastructure and they respond by wiping out the infrastructure of our Gulf allies all the experts say this will unquestionably result in a worldwide economic depression that will likely cause starvation in the poorer countries.

When liberals take steps to reduce oil consumption, they call it saving the earth.

When Trump takes corrective action against terrorism and oil consumption is also reduced, they call it Global Hunger and a Health Crisis.
