Well, if the oil price is cheaper, then it becomes less economic to do it in difficult places in West Texas or Alaska or wherever. So I'm not quite sure whether he's thought that one absolutely through. But the question of ending the war in Ukraine is we still just don't know what his plan is on that.

The one thing about the EU is also worth bearing in mind is the EU is a market of 450 million people. It's a big old market. It's not going to be as easy as he would like to push Europe around as it was to push Colombia around. And so I'm sure they will come to some accommodation because American companies do want access to 450 million people with pretty high average incomes.

Well, Panama is the other option, of course.

I mean, I don't think there's much evidence that there was a lot of switches in this election. I mean, it's one of these bizarre things about American elections that the sort of voting demographics, you have to wait for ages to see the real detail, the real analysis done of those. We'll get a much more clearer idea of that in sort of April and May of this year.

But no, I think, you know, it wasn't the turnout of 2020, but it was still a very high turnout. So I think he was turning out people that probably didn't vote. It turned out more younger people who started to vote for him more, although not his majority, as we've mentioned already. So I don't think a lot of Democrats deserted, you know, went over in that sense.

The problem with it, of course, is that people love autocracy until it knocks on their front door.

But I think the idea that strongman government is the future – I mean Africa suffered from the big man leader type post-independence in all sorts of places and stuff ended up being very corrupt and people got a lot poorer. infrastructure wasn't built. So strongman leadership doesn't always work.
