Energy is upstream of everything and more importantly food the the fertilizer production coming out of that region. Um and it's planting season so it's a very bad timing for the world's agricultural supply chains.
As the battlefield becomes more distributed and electronics-heavy, the Army's legacy power infrastructure, built around diesel generators and lead-acid batteries, is struggling to keep up.
roughly 20% of the world's oil production is flowing through that every day and so whether you're looking backward or looking forward there is no replacement whatsoever for opening that strait and keeping it open.
I really do feel that I have more energy. I had a lot of energy at 37. I had a lot of energy at 17. I have more energy at 67 when I wrote that, 68 now. I need less sleep. My clarity, if anything, I think is higher.
