Right.

Because we close it, we get the world's attention, and the global economy just takes a tremendous hit.

What's happened since is Trump blockaded from further out so it's safer, so the American ships are not within range of Iranian missiles, and then they seized Hormuz.

an Iranian boat boarded it and have declared a global blockade.

They did that on Sunday against Iran, which means they can seize vessels, Iranian vessels, anywhere on any ocean.

And we saw them do it to Venezuela.

So Sunday was a day when the tensions ramped up.

No, I know.

It's really astonishing, Peter.

I'm so glad you brought it up because it is the worst war.

It is the largest humanitarian disaster of this century.

20 million people or more displaced.

20 million, right?

Who are displaced, right?

Starvation.

We heard so much about famine and starvation in Gaza, and legitimately so.

But the numbers in Sudan dwarf because Gaza is a small population of 2 million people.

Food aid isn't getting through.

There is acute hunger, the worst child malnutrition anywhere in the world.

in the worst number of reported cases of rape, which is a wartime crime, frankly.
