      People are down voting you due to the link name without actually reading it, in the future if you have links like that, it may be helpful to use a hidden link/named link like this to weed out the people who didn’t actually click on it. They just see a “end of the world” link and down vote. The link you posted summerises the overall preface quite well, The issue is a global issue, more then just the US is effected by this embargo. I’m against military involvement but, I also think that’s the only way to preserve the routes due to neither side being willing to even talk.

        You should read it. Pretty much no one understands how the current state of international affairs has been maintained by global trade. The U.S. Navy protects all global trade. Not just trade to and from the U.S., but obviously it’s not a popular domestic position and it doesn’t make much sense for the U.S. to continue anyway. There’s winners and losers, but mostly losers

        The book is about the US backing off from protecting global trade and what happens afterword. Such is the core thing holding up our current globalized trading system.

        It isn’t about everyone dying or some shit (“Doomerism”), it is about geopolitics.
