They showed that they could close the strait, A, at very low cost, and B, in a selective manner, in a manner where they could sell their oil.
They could say, your oil's good, your oil's bad, your ship isn't going through, but we're going to sell all of our oil.
That was the surprise.
But now that the world has seen that, that is a killer, killer surprise.
economic weapon.
And like, you can't unsee it, right?
That's just like a fact from here on out.
Yeah, I mean, I think that it's more relevant in terms of like the U.S.
and Russia, just because we have these massive arsenals, that there's this concern that once, if Russia were to think that there were incoming nuclear ICBMs,
if they didn't strike back before those ICBMs landed.
Yeah, so these are missiles that, you know, within 15, 20 minutes can go from the US to a target in Russia.
Yeah.
I mean, I think the concern is that if you didn't strike back and it was a big enough strike, it could wipe out your ability to retaliate.
And so, yeah.
I mean, the whole thing is confounded now too, because you also have nuclear submarines.
So you've got these guys on subs that theoretically, even if your entire country was destroyed, they could fire back.
yeah i mean i think that's that is reality um and i think maybe just another point i mean one of the things that's often guided my own decisions in life like what to do is trying to demystify things you know what what are you know topics or uh you know industries that i think are interesting that i want to learn about yeah i was when i was in college i really wanted to demystify like how national security decisions are made part of the reason i went into government too i'm like
I will say to the majority of people who haven't sat in the situation room to see how these decisions are made, even in an administration where I really respected the leadership and the Obama administration, it was highly professional.
Like these are human beings, right?
Like they have good days, they have bad days, they're tired, they get sick.
