So why has there been no real fuel shortages here in the UK....yet....It's because it takes over a month for tankers to get from the middle east to here, they ain't no speed boats. So all the tankers that left a month before the closure are still arriving and (apparently) tomorrow the last tanker to get through before closure, a tanker full of Saudi refined jet fuel will arrive tomorrow (in time for Easter), then that's it. Even if that strait opened tomorrow (which it won't) it would take over a month for the next tanker to arrive. The Battenbergs have well and truly burnt our Russian bridges, so what next? Well there's Trump's contraband Venezuelan oil for sale. Who says there's no profit from war waging!
Or to put it another way, it is in Trump's (financial) interest that the strait stays closed!
