How Yemen is Wrecking the Entire Global Economy

I created this video before the US and UK began initiating their airstrikes on the Houthis in Yemen. The problem with trying to make complicated videos about current events I suppose. If you want to learn more about what's happening and stay up to date to the hour, check out Ground News, they're really great: ground.news/reallifelore

It’s so interesting how fragile the global economy is

I work in the industry. A 40' container from Shanghai to Hamburg was a mere $2500 and now it's easily over $5000.

Holy cow! The amount of information presented here, within the short amount of time, in terms that are easily understood, and with visual effects that are in sync with the narrator, is incredible!

I don't remember Houthis' attack to civilians in UAE or Saudi. They attacked their oil facilities.

So much has happened that This video immediately requires a second video to cover all the updates since

This just illustrates how vital shipping choke points are and why China is so desperate to control the South China sea and by extension the Malacca strait.

As Yemeni who suffered from the war , i hope that this leaders who called themselves (peaceful..) can press and end the occupation so we can avoid a worse war

thanks for this, very informative!

All of this while Panama is sufferings the effects of El Niño. A very dry Panama Canal on top of this whole mess. What a time to be working in maritime logistics.

Note: 60% of the estimated 377,000 deaths caused by the conflict in Yemen by the beginning of 2022 were attributed to malnutrition, poor access to healthcare, and contaminated water, according to UN estimates. It states that the fighting is known to have directly resulted in the deaths or injuries of over 11,000 children. One of the worst cholera outbreaks ever documented has also affected Yemen; since 2016, there have been 2.5 million suspected cases and roughly 4,000 deaths associated with the disease.

Thank you for this detail video. I know more now than I ever have.

7,3 million subscribers now. Unbelievable. You’re growing immensely fast. Amazing

Note that Australia's refusal to supply ships wasn't on any moral stand, the Royal Australian Navy cannot physically send any vessels due to manning/recruiting issues which have plagued for years now.

Trying to stay informed about all these global events is exhausting. These videos are a great relief; Sometimes, I just need to stare at a map for some clarity.

One of the best channels covering these issues. Kudos!

I love how Civ series icons have become the go-to choice in geopolitics videos.

Our time had reached its zenith, and it is now over. Everything not just Banks, Stock including 401Ks, are suffering from the recession and crashes. My $750K retirement equity portfolio is losing money. Because of inflation, I keep losing. Similar to how Rome fell under its despotic emperors, this world will also. I apologise if you are considering retirement but are concerned that your pension won't cover the rising expense of living. There are terrible foreign policies worldwide, as well as disastrous regulatory, fiscal, and energy policies.

This is informative. Thanks.

I like how you used the CIV VI icon for the oil
