It’s a very significant amount and many people tend to die even if just the stock market drops a bit.
The real implications of goods availability and the economy is harrowing.
And I don’t know why you are talking about us/is population. Goods are taken from the poorest first. Why do you not care about them but only the rich.
20% of the population are a whole lot of people.
There is no alternative to fossil fuels that you can switch to overnight. Just going cold turkey is genocide. For people will freeze and boil in their homes and possibly starve.
I disagree on it being a ethical thing to use. Interdicting free trade and bringing hardship and danger to your neighbors to hold a different enemy hostage should be considered a international crime.
And I don’t believe that preventing nukes was the cause of the Iran war. Shooting some prince didn’t cause the great war to happen either, after all.
Yeah, you’re wrong or uninformed. It is not a minor strait by a long shot and thousands or more will die of it. Economy isn’t just magical numbers on sheets but the real economy is what allows people to carry on existing.
This isn’t news.
This appears to be a popular opinion held by many for months.
Thermal power plants have the same restrictions when it comes to cooling. They are hit just as hard.
Iran closing the strait isn’t a targeted measure against the Aggressor and hence unethical.
To be fair they could also destroy desalination plants and kill many millions directly.but that’s a worse war crime.
