    Both #Saudi and #Qatar have an interest to find and fund a #Hormuz bypass. The alternative is tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars being paid to #IRGC. Annually. They may refuse to work together in which case both of them loose. #Qatar will be at the mercy of #Ayatollahs. #Saudi which will have to fund the enhanced #EastWest pipeline on its own.

    #Houthis don't have a say in this.

    #US cant clean this up. It lacks the capacity.

    The rail link between #Oman and #UAE can be similarly augmented with a higher capacity. A new rail link can be established between #Oman and #Saudi. This will handle container and non-oil bulk traffic for GCC

    #Yemen or precisely #NorthYemen is in Civil war. #SouthYemen, that which shares border with #Oman, is relative peaceful and has good relations with #Riyadh.

    2026 showed the utility of #EastWest and #ADCOP. The need is to double its throughput.

  5. @X31Andy @kali
    #Saudi Arabia has 10 million bpd capacity. #EastWest pipeline currently carries 7 million bpd. #Saudi exports are hamstrung because of bottlenecks in #Yanbu. Building similar capacity additional pipeline will take 3-4 years.

    UAE's produces about 4 million bpd. #AbuDhabiCrudeOilPipeline aka #ADCOP can transport 1.5 million bpd. More than 35% of #UAE capacity which it has been doing. The #IRGC attack disrupted #Fujairah terminal for a short period.

  6. Illumination in dark times
    A genealogy of modern Western selfhood and a post-Western world

    "Smith ... outlines a genealogy of modern Western selfhood: a radically individual, hypermasculine character that was formed during the rapid nineteenth-century expansion of the white man’s world. “Bold, conquering, and altogether assertive,” it was “dedicated to action,” hostile to reflection, indifferent to community and the environment, and guilty of possessing, Smith writes, an “undeveloped heart,” a term borrowed from E. M. Forster’s assessment of the British elite." "

    " “We must alter our very relations with the world around us.” This means giving up the exalted and exaggerated idea of the West that boosts a masculinist self-image but severely constricts thought and feeling. “We should welcome our era’s uncertainties,...the not-knowing of how the post-Western story will come out.” Smith’s final warning—that “we will not survive the Western notion of the individual much longer”—should resonate today, as nineteenth-century individualism reasserts itself in the degraded Nietzscheanism of Peter Thiel and Stephen Miller." >>

  7. It seems I've run into this weird EastWest Opus cut-off bug, where it just decides to not sustain all the notes I play. It's reported at vi-control.net/community/threa and none of the suggested fixes fix it. Super annoying and quite disappointing of such an expensive piece of software.
