In the event that the strait of Hormuz and the Bab-el-Mandeb strait are mined, blocked, tolled, or the flow of oil and fertilizer slows or halts the only places on the planet that can make up that difference in exported hydrocarbons and nitrogen are North America (The US and Canada) and Russia and the most vulnerable locations will be Europe, South East Asia, and Japan.So closing the straits benefits Russia and the United States and hurts Europe, South East Asia, and Japan by making them more reliant on the US and Russia for their hydrocarbon and nitrogen needs. Who owns all of that 40 Trillion dollars worth of US debt? Who is financing the US empire and holding US Treasuries? Europe, South East Asia, and Japan!The US has manufactured a scenario where its debt holders and financiers must choose between becoming a vassal state of the Russian Empire or continue the war they are already financing and waging against Russia in Ukraine and by extension deepen their reliance on American energy and protection.
You are always one step ahead...
