Here's Why These Geopolitical And Financial Chokepoints Need Your Attention...

[ZeroHedge] The Houthis in Yemen tried to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Then Hezbollah droned his house. Apparently, he was not at home at the time.
Iran launched an unprecedented missile attack on Israel. The part you probably didn’t hear about is that Iran says a “state of war” now exists between them and Israel.
There’s been a shadow war for many years, though Iran has mostly spends their time on mass attacks on Jewish civilians around the world — like the 1994 VBIED attack on the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 and maimed over 300 — internet attacks on Israeli businesses and infrastructure, and ginning up coordinated wars with Hamas and Hezbollah, while Israel has gone after Iran’s nuclear bomb program, including assassinating nuclear scientists in Iran, and no doubt other spy stuff. And of course, beating the Palestinians and Hezbollah like a drum whenever they act up. | France ended all arms exports to Israel, and the Israel’s pissed and subsequently bombed a French factory in Syria
They did? We missed that… | — an F you and no thanks for all the previous arms shipments and military aid.
Israel paid money for those arms, so the books were balanced in the usual way. | Russia sent 33 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Lebanon.
Israel bombed Syria’s capital, Damascus.
Erdogan compared Israel with the Nazis.
I’ve probably missed a whole lot of things, but you get the picture. None of the above is good in any shape or form.
This last point I pay a lot of attention to, and here’s why.
His sublime radiance, Sultan Recep Tayip Erdogan I “the much beloved” — who hopes to be the first of the neo-Ottoman sultans — has been calling Israel names for over a decade, so the fact of name calling is not indicative of anything. The points the writer makes below are important independent of schoolyard taunts. | Turkey has the second largest military in NATO, and it’s clearly going to leave or be kicked out.
Turkey also controls the Bosphorus, and Iran controls the strait of Hormuz.
The Houthis effectively now (to some extent at least) control the Suez.
That, my friends, is the holy trinity of supply disruption in oil shipments.
What else?
Well, an interesting little dilemma is opening up for NATO. What happens if Israel decides to have a go at Turkey — either inside Turkish territory or outside? That would, according to the NATO treaty, constitute an attack on a NATO partner and immediately mean that all NATO members were now at war with… Israel.
That would certainly clarify all the posturing about Never Again on Holocaust Day. Interestingly, multibillionaire investor Bill Ackman — the one who led the defunding of Harvard after the university president refused to say whether Hamas protester attacks on Jewish students were against university policy — just announced he will be working to move from Amsterdam the hedge fund and Dutch music production company on whose boards he sits, in response to the “Jew hunt” pogrom last week. There is a bit of a tradition for this kind of thing: when Spain expelled the Jews in 1492, many of the refugees were welcomed by Amsterdam, where in gratitude they supported Dutch independence from Spain and the Anglo-Spanish war that followed. | Read the rest at the link
