Exactly, they don't have to take any extreme measures like mining because the mere threat is enough for insurers to pull back. This is exactly what Yemen was doing in Suez, and proved to be extremely effective.

Yep! This coupled with Europe's pivot to Russian LNG is going to be pretty huge for deteriorating US/EU relations.

EU seems pretty split now itself, with the Spain/Germany spat. I'm not getting my hopes up for that to manifest anything at the present moment though.

The cracks were already there, if we are to think dialectically, just growing.
