Does he? At this point, unless the people begin to fucking riot, nothing is gonna change In the next few years. US is going to continue going down the shitty path it's currently on.

What a STUPID Comment! As a Free Thinking Alpha Wolf Republican Trump could LITERALLY RAPE GOD ON TV and I would STILL vote for Him!
Big Mac? Like the My Little Pony dude?
What has that cod ever done to deserve that?
I don't expect it to be opened for at least A year at this rate.

The article is quite insightful, however I would love to have more meat on the analysis on what's the exact time frame we have for the negotiation here.

Just clearing the backlog of current tankers is going to take a whole year. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/23/dow-ceo-says-clearing-the-strait-of-hormuz-logjam-will-take-almost-a-year.html
