"I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them [Iran] about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil," Rubio had said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday. "If they [close the Straits]... it will be economic suicide for them. And we retain options to deal with that, but other countries should be looking at that as well. It would hurt other countries' economies a lot worse than ours." Around 20% of the world's oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, with major oil and gas producers in the Middle East using the waterway to transport energy from the region. Any attempt to disrupt operations in the Strait could send global oil prices skyrocketing. Oil prices jumped briefly when trading began on Monday, with Brent climbing to $81.40 a barrel. However, it then slid back to around $78, up 1.4% on the day.

"We made a huge mess, you clean it up."

Maybe, I could have sworn it was Bosnia, and I can't really research it right now. I have a project to prepare for and settle into, my apologies if I'm wrong.

He violated both UN and NATO charters, iirc. Imo, intervention was necessary, because the Serbs were ethnically cleansing the Croats and Muslims, and Western Europe was dragging feet, but he violated the law and badly mishandled the intervention.

The whole lot, with very few exceptions do.

I'm not sure it's Israel, but they and the USA are vying for that spot.

If we all do the work on ourselves, the world will look very different in a decade. If we all focus on healing, our earth can heal.

Nixon was. They could have impeached Clinton for Bosnia, but went with lying about adultery.

Theil is already president, and probably has been for longer than I care to imagine.
