agreement between the biggest oil producing countries to have a collective agreed upon price of oil.
So I think, yeah, the detangling of that is a good thing.
But the notion of these countries taking payments and currencies other than the dollar, that's something that we have to fight against vehemently.
The big picture, zoom out big picture.
Again, the framework here is Cold War 2.0.
And what's really happening is the world is realigning.
The world is realigning away from the, you know, we had an alignment during the Cold War.
It kind of went away in the 1990s and 2000s.
And, you know, things got mixed up a little bit.
The world is now realigning, and the Trump administration, at the very least, is recognizing the dangers as well as the potential opportunities.
And he's trying as hard as he possibly can to realign the world in a way that's more favorable to the United States.

Not tremendous, not huge, not a huge threat, but it has been a thorn in the side.
So if you can break OPEC down into pieces and then realign some of those pieces that are more friendly to the U.S.
national interest, that is a strategic goal that fits with the Cold War 2.0.
That tanker actually is a wonderful visual of...
the great power of supply in economics and substitution, all these things we keep saying.
