have the resolve to defeat the forces that are closing the shipping channel? (they almost certainly have the weaponry and force to achieve that - if in fact they have the stomach for it) Alternatively, is there a political solution available? Can the shipping industry (and their customers) spend (bribe) their way into safety? And will that ultimately be considered the path of least resistance - and best alternative?
