Mm I was obviously confused by your claim that DEMAND WOULD SLUMP, when obviously its supply thats the problem! Maybe ensure your own posts are correct before adopting a superior tone?

Yes there is an issue in that ships can't acess loading facilties if they are the wrong side of the Strait of Hormuz, and if they are too large to traverse the Suez canal they won't be able to depart either.

So there is medium term disrupton, but there is an alternative route for the many, unless of course about 25% of the world's oil is sourced from here, maybe Trump's sequestration of Venezuelian oil has a point, apart from its low quality of course.

Hard to see how your pet theory about choking off China's oil is realistic if the US action has choked off the world's supply. In point of fact though, gas supply is probably going to be a bigger issue than oil.
