Well the Strait Of Hormuz is gonna stay closed until South Korea hits critical levels again, so he'll have his chance.

On a more serious note, I think that if that was something he wanted to, he would have done that.

I think he’s more a demented sociopath.

What he doesn’t like is he didn’t get a cut.

Of course he will... He'll extort them for a bribe, then publicly announce that actually they're great guys and did nothing wrong.
