Is there anyone here with relevant expertise who can tell us: Are the Red Sea attacks are a relatively minor, temporary hiccup?

Or can they lead to another global wave of supply-chain disruptions, like the those we experienced during the pandemic?

There's lots of evidence that the pandemic's supply-chain disruptions triggered inflation, and we're still fighting it.

I'm not looking for predictions. I'm more interested in an informed assessment of the risks.

You know how sometimes you find theres an simpler way of doing things? Sometimes its easier, or more scalable, it just takes creative thinking. Imagine for a moment a crazy idea, instead of sending a strike force to go turn people into mist, we try talking first? Its this weird phenomena, sometimes people dont rush into violence when they feel like their grievances are being taken seriously.

The Houthis want conflict to remain in power domestically.

What side do you think tried violence before talking? The followers of Hussein al-Houthi? The Israelis? The Gazans? Hamas? Historic Palestinian leaderships?

I could give examples for and against every single one of those entities. This is very much a matter of perspective - and everyone thinks he was reasonable from his own perspective.

Yeah this really didn’t work for Carter.

That logic could be applied to all belligerents in the conflict, can you name a country that doesnt apply to?
