Those tools, some of them still exist.
Some of them are gone.
They don't exist anymore.
And the ones that we have are diminishing.
And we have another war that is combining with the Iran war.
So that is really bad because what happens when we shut down the straits, the Saudis and the UAE are the only ones that have infrastructure to go around the UAE, sorry, around Iran or the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea.
If you suddenly attack the Saudi ships where they did in what's called the Bab al-Mandab crossing and Yanbu, which is the area in Saudi Arabia where they load the ships,
then you've taken the alternatives.
So now you've taken millions of barrels that have been able to make themselves onto the market are now gone because that route.
And two ships turned around, made a U-turn, turned around.
And now even if they do go through, the risk premiums are high, so the insurance rates go up.
If we're going to go 10 ships a day, we're now down to two because everybody's a little bit sluggish.
Who pays the price for all of these things?
Ultimately, the consumer.
because we can't get oil out, we can't get gasoline out or diesel.
That's why we're already at $4.10 on average in the country.
It's going up from here and probably significantly.
Some states had suspended their gas taxes, gasoline taxes, but they're supposed to come back now.
So all the prices are now going back and into this environment, the president has just said, we're gonna go to a bigger war, a more expansive war.
And the Houthis are saying, well, we're activated.
