“… to me reminds us that what's happening here, this war that is very much becoming a war with a capital W, is not Trump's childhood wars. We are in a globalized world where he is not going to be able to remove himself from the blowback if American companies are indeed attacked. This is very different than military. This is an impact that I think would be very hard to escape from beyond the fact that it's horrible. It's sad. These are people's lives. Yeah. I mean, we reached out to every company on the list. It turns out that they don't largely want to comment on their feelings about this or what …”
“… of this where, you know, calling on employees of these tech firms in the region to distance themselves from workplaces, for residents living near offices of these companies to move away to a safe place, this is a very serious warning. And so much to me reminds us that what's happening here, this war that is very much becoming a war with a capital W, is not Trump's childhood wars. We are in a globalized world where he is not going to be able to remove himself from the blowback if American companies are indeed attacked. This is very different than military.

It turns out that they don't largely want to comment on their feelings about this or what they're doing. I actually was kind of surprised. I was like, I don't know, you're on a target list and you don't want to say anything. No, they don't want to share what their plans are. They don't want to say if they've moved out employees. No, but they don't even want to say if they're taking it seriously, because if they're taking it seriously, …”

Iran has issued a chilling warning to major U.S. tech companies, including Apple and Google, declaring they will begin targeting them by April 1st. This escalation raises critical questions about the safety of employees and the implications for investments in the region, as tech giants remain largely silent on their response to this threat.
“… we should be asking because this is not just a war in Iran. It is, well, really, it's a pivot in history. What we're watching is a change of power globally. And so the questions we really should be thinking about and that we're going to get the answer to fairly soon would include who runs the world? Who's in charge of the world? Where are the real power centers? What is the nature of power? What does it mean to have power? How do you know if a country is powerful? Where does our power derive? Why is the United States a power exactly? And finally, what is the United States? Who are we? How do we …”
“… related to the only ones that have ever been used 80 years ago in japan so what would happen next Again, we can only guess, but it would be awful.

What are we defending when we go to war? So those are the questions that whether we want to ask or not, and they're almost never discussed in public for some reason, that we're going to get the answers to very soon. Because conflict forces an answer to these …”

President Trump's recent speech signals a potential shift away from American global dominance, focusing on no ground troops and no regime change. However, the reality of military engagements often diverges from political promises, raising critical questions about who truly holds power in the world. As this conflict unfolds, it may redefine not just America's role, but the very nature of global power itself.
Ridealong summary
U.S. allies are increasingly frustrated with America's handling of the Iran crisis, which is straining their economies and prompting emergency measures. As crude oil prices soar, countries like Japan and South Korea are scrambling to stabilize their currencies while seeking alternatives to U.S. dollar transactions. This situation could signal a shift in global alliances and economic power away from U.S. dominance.
“… the energy crisis being a part of that. But what are the things that you're looking at there that concern you? One is, I mean, 15 to 20 percent of global energy production is just offline or at least can't get to where it has to go and then starts going offline. Some of it's damaged. It's not clear when it's going to reopen. Peace talks could break out a week from now. And then after some further weeks, we start getting things coming back online. So either way, it's going to take bare minimum weeks to get flows. But I mean, that could take months or longer. And there's no kind of viable …”
“… frightening in that sense. That makes sense. I think when we're on stage yesterday, we were talking about the things that do frighten you. And you said when it gets to the issues, it's like straight up humus is number one, two and three. So obviously the energy crisis being a part of that. But what are the things that you're looking at there that concern you? One is, I mean, 15 to 20 percent of global energy production is just offline or at least can't get to where it has to go and then starts going offline. Some of it's damaged.

So either way, it's going to take bare minimum weeks to get flows. But I mean, that could take months or longer. And there's no kind of viable alternatives to get that energy out. And really, energy shortages or food shortages are about the worst case scenario for any economy. And they often even go together because it's not just oil and gas going through the strait. It's also fertilizer inputs. So I mean, natural gas is a major fertilizer input. There's also other urea, sulfur, helium. There are …”

The energy crisis is reaching catastrophic levels, with 15-20% of global energy production offline and no viable alternatives in sight. This disruption threatens not just oil supply but also food production and essential goods, leading to severe economic implications, especially for poorer countries facing energy shortages. As Egypt and other nations prepare for rolling blackouts, the situation could escalate into a global crisis.
“… from the Strait of Hormuz is affecting not just the United States, it's slightly affecting the United States. It's affecting the whole world and all global markets right now. It's like a United States steezes and the whole world becomes sick. Our prices at the pump up 30%, which I think is causing unhappiness, but it's not causing a pause on the economy. Yeah, Noah Smith had a take on this, that this is not good for a global perception of America, right? It's kind of, well, what's America doing? They're a force for chaos. They didn't really have a plan here. They're just a bully who smashes things …”
“… saying that they're considering grounding flights In Australia they are considering rationing fuel throughout the country So there was news that over 500 gas stations in Australia have now run out of fuel So this oil shortage challenge coming from the Strait of Hormuz is affecting not just the United States, it's slightly affecting the United States. It's affecting the whole world and all global markets right now. It's like a United States steezes and the whole world becomes sick.

They didn't really have a plan here. They're just a bully who smashes things and the rest of the world has to deal with the consequences. So there's that too. So I guess oil and energy is a limiting factor for Trump. But I want to zoom in on what you were talking about with respect to bonds and make sure we understand that. So you said 10-year yields are up. And indeed they are. The 10-year yield note has passed 45 basis …”

The US's attempt to control the Strait of Hormuz is likely to cause economic turmoil and damage America's global reputation as a stabilizing force.
“… And that could also cause all sorts of problems unless we're willing to do that. The fact that, you know, this very important choke point in the global economy is being squeezed is also bad for the United States.

So there's there's these natural advantages, this natural bounty that the United States has, And all Americans should be grateful for it. But there are limits, right? We might want to de-globalize.

The ongoing oil crisis reveals the interconnectedness of the global economy, challenging the belief that the U.S. can remain insulated from international supply issues. As President Trump's comments suggest a misunderstanding of oil's fungibility, the reality is that disruptions in the Persian Gulf will impact prices everywhere, including the U.S. This situation highlights the dangers of a 'beggar thy neighbor' mentality in a globalized world.

“… another week, well, maybe that's higher prices, but not a huge deal. But there seems to be a sense that as it compounds, that the effects on the global economy are non-linear, that the economy is sort of working through reserves it currently has, but things can spiral into a very different kind of situation.

“… they're insured. And they're not willing to put these huge cargoes at risk. Tell me about how the deprivation of this oil and natural gas compounds as it goes on.

Yeah, it's a good question, because I think both the impact of higher prices on the economy are nonlinear, but the impact of conflict and supply disruption on oil prices are nonlinear. As I said a moment ago, this is the mother of all nightmare scenarios, closing the strait. If someone had said we're going to close a strait with 20 million barrels a day to most of its supply, you'd be talking about $150, $200 a barrel. …”
