    Oh my, that’s not going to end well.

    Extremely limited supply, huge demand, and institutionalized corruption… Hmmmm… what could happen?

    I don’t think the military is going to keep much of that fuel.

      There’s a very tired Dutch joke, that we nevertheless keep telling, about how the Germans arrived in 1940 riding German tanks and left in 1945 on stoken Dutch bicycles.
