KLM cancels 160 flights due to fuel shortage

Given that we have the facts about what it is doing to them, can we agree that if Europe doesn't like the existing trajectory of the geopolitical system their only options are to either change it by themselves or compel one or more allies to change it?

Remember the days when airlines used to hedge their exposure to fuel prices...???

You can't really hedge a true shortage. You'll get some money, but you can't pump money into a fuel tank.

Another 3 years to go I think? God it already feels like a century.

Because the next one won’t bend the knee to Israel.

There's also the third option that's usually taken: condemnation of the trajectory.
