I venture to guess that.
voice-verified
It's a zero-sum game of just that the regime has to remain in place.
voice-verified
And even if the regime falls, then they can still keep the straights closed.
voice-verified
So I don't really see uh, you know, I don't really see toppling the regime being the end of the situation that we're in, nor do I think that they're gonna crack first.
voice-verified
But uh Donald Trump is ramping up the economic pressure, and that does seem to have Iran debating whether or not that means they want to go on the offensive now to bring this back to actual warfare or come.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
Yeah, the prospect
voice-verified
Well, we still seem to just be sitting in the uh pause and wait stage and uh neither side wanting to give up and play the economic warfare game and see who blinks first.
voice-verified
So we're we're kinda just in we're in the intermission.
voice-verified
Um, so I have real humility when it comes to supply chain issues because uh at the beginning of like the Ukraine war they were talking about we're all gonna run out of food because it's the breadbasket of Europe.
voice-verified
And I was like, I I I just don't know enough of the specifics on this.
voice-verified
Uh when it comes to the straits, apparently two hundred boats went through this the over the last week, uh, versus one fifty.
voice-verified
But and I you guys can fact check me, but these are the best numbers I've come across, which is only twenty percent of what like
voice-verified
Like uh typical traffic would be if like the straights were completely open.
voice-verified
And it seems like the real cracks right now are in diesel prices uh nearing an all-time high.
voice-verified
And then you seemingly got some real uh problems in financial markets that we had to bail out uh Japan so that they uh wouldn't stop dri dropping their American debt.
voice-verified
And we also did some goofy thing to try and falsify the signal that there's uh more demand for our debt than there actually is, um, and that
voice-verified
They uh, I don't know, basically did a reverse swap on the uh by selling the shorts and buying the longs.
voice-verified
To me, anytime it it doesn't matter what they're doing with the financial plumbing, it's just to pretend like there's more demand for our debt than there actually is, and pretending that there's more liquidity in the system than there actually is.
voice-verified
As to what the specifics are, to what extent I'm talking out of my ass right now, I can't tell you.
