Get ready for #SupplyChain disruptions

#Iran backed #Houthis in #Yemen have decided to resume attacks on #ShippingRoutes & on #Israel in support of Iran.…

One official said the rebels’ first attack could come as soon as “tonight.”

The rebels had ceased attacks on the #shipping route as part of a deal with the #Trump admin that also halted #US strikes against the Houthis. They also stopped their attacks against Israel after an October “ceasefire” that halted major fighting in #Gaza.

Their aim, #JDVance said in a video, is to check up on #Greenland’s security, because *unnamed other countries* could “use its territories & its waterways to threaten the United States.” And these are real concerns for the #UnitedStates, rooted in #ClimateChange: As #PolarIce melts away, superpowers are vying for newly open #ShippingRoutes in the #ArcticOcean & largely unexplored #mineral & #FossilFuel reserves.

Why Does #Greenland Interest #Trump? #ClimateChange Is Only Part of the Story

Arctic #ShippingRoutes & burgeoning #mining opportunities may be part of Greenland’s appeal.

[not that Trump would ever admit climate change is real, that’d hurt his #FossilFuel & #tech interests]
