one drone knocks out that rail

about time
@
At the moment, the Oman Coridor would be the most effective and reliable
@
IT ONLY BECAME A CHOKEPOINT AFTER ISR-@EL AND THE USA ATTACKED IRAN ! ( Should I not have said that ? )
@
sure, just quickly build out a trade corridor through the middle of no where to rival 20% of the world Oil trade plus what not....
see on paper they also build the line, its just that easy 😂
@
Iran’s missiles can still reach these new corridors, making it feel like a waste of money.
@
Wow. You have a large body of water. Yet you think a pipeline or rail system or road or bridge IN THE SAME REGION is going to reduce risk? Tens of billions to build. One missile later, that connection point is gone.

@
From Obrelitration to building new corridor😅😅😅
@

America has single-handedly handed China the world on a platter. Thank you ❤❤❤
@
Choke point is sadly a big deal in futire routes
@
I wonder if it would not be ecologically (and economically) best that politicians create the conditions for transport routes to be shortened as much as possible, i.e. for customers to be supplied from the nearest sources?🤔🤔🤔

4:54 "said to"....nope the red sea is actually the Baja. Yup

The fact that a single chokepoint handles 20% of the world's oil and global trade is wild. With alternative routes like IMEC and overland pipelines expanding, which country do you think stands to gain, or indeed lose, the most from this shift? Let me know your thoughts below!
