    They know that Israel is at the eye of the global shit storm. Iran might close the strait of Hormuz, and the Yemenis are definitely going to take shots at ships heading for Bab-el-Mandeb (Gate of Grief). Iran may start boarding ships as well.

    This is a business decision.

    The rest of this post is bullshit. If it comes true, well, then, I’m an unprofitable prophet.

    Goodness knows how this is going to go once the NATO-backed EU sanctions on Israel hit in mid-July. US will try to sanction/tariff their way around that, an attempt to support their pals, but, surprise! Domestic unrest will force the felon’s hand.

    That frees up some space for more integrated transport across Europe, Canada, and emerging markets across north and west Africa, quelling some of the decolonial “unrest” in Mali, Burkina Faso with offers of “trade.”

    The wedge in the anglosphere will widen, and the US will be more isolated. They’ll either attack Canada or suffer Civil War by November, about the time people start to realize they can’t pay for their heating this winter and can’t even afford “2 dolls instead of 30” this Xmas.

      Sounds like a crazy movie here. Not totally unbelievable. I’m currently playing this in my head and wondering what this years influencer videos will look like in the lead up to Christmas, devoid of tat. I feel like Canada might be ok, would it not be the worst time to attack them being winter and that’s what they are good at.
