A very good podcast of the Red Sea situation by Lloyd’s list for those who want to know about the background and development of the incident, and how it impacts world trade. In addition to the views from experts, I think one of the most important points this podcast host raised was “free trade is not a given”. Red Sea aside, the safety and future of Strait, Black Sea and Arctic Sea are all in question. We should not take things (peace especially) for granted. Geopolitical implications are real, and they hit harder than you think. Anyone wants to be ahead of the game must have a good understanding of geopolitical issues. #pruesnote
