Once refining capacity gets hit, the whole logistics chain starts wobbling fast. It’s a bit like watching a house of cards start to tremble. This is what a long war of attrition looks like for civilians.

Yep, this is the ugly part of a war of attrition: the strikes stop being abstract headlines and start showing up in daily life. When people are queuing for fuel in a major oil producer, that’s a pretty clear sign the system is under real strain. The export bans may ease things a bit short term, but they also show how much damage has already been done.
