Everyone's focused on oil — but it's not just oil:
- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) imports 80-90% of its food
- Saudi Arabia, 80%
- Kuwait, 95%
With the Strait closed (or even "open" but with rates exploding 650%), the literal lifeline of these nations is cut off.
And yes, with UAE/Saudi Arabia/Qatar stopping oil production, we are quickly entering an energy crisis that will have DRASTIC effects on food availability and pricing.
Be prepared...
