No Iran war, no bailout.
If NK was another company in a less high profile industry, also no bailout. This is not 2008, and NK isn't GM or CitiGroup.
But if no Iran War Spirit would not need a bailout right now. The confirmation plan (not saying it wouldn't have led Spirit right back here) was on track before the high oil prices.
