Can the UAE actually capitalize on increased production if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed? How has Washington's posture toward Gulf oil producers — and its own energy dominance — influenced this fracture? Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@nottvjessjones@jamil_n_jaffer@lestermunson@johnclipseyLike what we're doing here? Be sure to rate, review, and subscribe. And don't forget to follow @faultlines_pod and @masonnatsec on Twitter!We are also on YouTube; watch today's episode here: https://youtu.be/mGvns6BJtpw Hosted on Acast.
