It was just nice to pay 2.99 a gallon for gas today when I filled up.
Seems the market responds immediately to any statement by Trump, Iran etc, hour by hour, but will the oil actually start flowing? Will the Lloyds of London insure ships? I'm illiterate when it comes to economic issues but in the recent past I've seen experts say the oil has been too cheap on the markets and it will cause some sort of problems in the future. I don't know how all that works. Trump of course has allegedly made lots of promises throughout this to manipulate the markets short term.
It’s a bipartisan issue, Joe Biden probably would have done the same and Kamala indicated she would while campaigning:
It is and like I posted upthread the deep state has had decades long plans wrt what to do with Iran and Trump was too weak to resist it. I'm sure Trump will say they wouldn't have had the balls, he did say no previous president did. Others will say they weren't stupid enough, not weak enough to be goaded by Netanyahu, to get involved in attacking Iran, opinions differ.
