so less than 5% of our oil comes through the strait. The fertilizer cost is killing our farmers financially. There's some medical device components that we , and the rest of the world, need.

But other than getting fucked by the European and Asian economies collapsing when they run out of oil and industrial supplies throwing the world into a depression because of Trump and Netanyahu (which is serious) why would our economy run out of oil because of the Hormuz? Are Canada and Mexico cutting us off in retaliation while they supply other trade partners instead??
