Bro thinks they can just Mad Max a couple million barrels of crude through the deserts of Oman every day

Really? You think there's a law of physics that prevents this?
For one thing we could build trucks much much bigger if we wanted to, we could build them as big as tankers if we wanted to, and in the middle of the desert it would not be hard to get permission.
we would never build them that big because we would just build more pipes, or send multiple trucks, or dig a trench, or dig a canal, or any numerous options.
they would just be expensive relative to the free pass through the strait.
But if that strait is no longer free the relative price goes down and the oil makes enough money to cover it a thousand times over.
