I don't think the "obvious answer" is to engage in a mandatory arms race over shipping channels. The most obvious thing is to put commerce aside for a few minutes while we address these extremely serious social and political issues.
- heresie-dabord 3y ago> The most obvious thing is to put commerce aside for a few minutes Do you think it could be viable to set aside commercial interests to address the deep discord among the countries and their proxies in the region? The practical approach to call for calm and protect commercial ties and robust economics is the only way forward that I can see. But I am open to your point of view.

Isn't that precisely what choosing to sail around the horn of Africa is? It's commercially unfavorable and it is designed to avoid the area of conflict. > The practical approach to call for calm and protect commercial ties and robust economics is the only way forward that I can see. Sure, but do you think that automatically heightening the level of conflict is the best way to achieve that? The OP even suggested that requiring this approach through legislation would be favorable.
