## Resource

A Red Sea crisis is now hitting oil markets, global shipping, and AI-enabled warfare all at once. In this condensed recap of the full Breaking Points episode, Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti unpack the Houthi advance, the Saudi pipeline strike, and why Brent crude and diesel prices are spiking. They explain how the Bab-el-Mandeb chokepoint could disrupt trade, inflame inflation, and test Washington-Riyadh strategy as reports swirl about calls for U.S. strikes. The episode also explores the limits of Saudi military power, the fragility of the Yemen ceasefire, and the broader geopolitical ripple effects for the dollar, the petrodollar, and Gulf diplomacy. Finally, they dig into a new and unsettling development: the use of AI tools and open-source autopilots in missile guidance and navigation. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
