Dire Strait of Hormuz - 387 PREVIEW

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Trump's actions on Iran and the energy market, along with political developments in Hungary and Mexico's healthcare system.

Trump's war on Iran has led to Iran closing the Strait of Homuz, and hence probably the worst single energy shock since oil became a bulk commodity. There is no end in sight. We discuss why it was such a catastrophically stupid decision, what it reveals about Trump's decaying brain, how Iran has gained the upper hand, and more. We also discuss the elections in Hungary and Mexico's forthcoming single payer healthcare system. Subscribe now to listen to the whole episode!
